They have also started showing "sponsored" locations as the first search result, often being ridiculously inconvenient and not at all what was searched for. For example I went to look for the Costco near me, and the first result was a Target nearly 20 miles away.

    The Sponsored behavior is Google gaming their own ads business. Yesterday I searched “Lowe’s” and it shows two results for the same location, one sponsored above and the regular listing below it.
