---- How many listings with One Phone Number?

inbound, I think there's some indications that the 10-pack may be getting more clicks than organic for local searches. There are some significant indications that many business directories ranking well in local SERPs are now receiving less referral traffic from Google, following algo changes that make the 10-pack appear more often.

However, it's possible that users are differentiating better, and they could be clicking directly to business's websites in the organic listings at a greater rate than directories - there are no industry statistical reports which have studied the difference as far as I'm aware.

Still, I'd suggest that there's likely an overall trend of increasing clicks going to the 10pack versus the organic listings, and I'd even venture to say that things could've flipped to the point where 85% of clicks are going to the 10-pack and 15% to the organic listings.
