The Google update released in 2014 that focused on local search results was Pigeon.
Google introduced Pigeon on July 24, 2014, as a local-search algorithm update. Its goal was to make nearby and geographically relevant results more useful by giving greater weight to signals such as the searcher's location and the distance to businesses or places.
The update affected both ordinary Google Search results and listings shown in Google Maps. It also increased the visibility of local-directory information in some searches. Pigeon initially launched for searches in US English, with expansion to other languages and regions expected later.
Pigeon is often confused with Panda, Penguin, and Hummingbird because all four are well-known Google update names. Panda primarily addressed content quality, Penguin focused on manipulative link practices, and Hummingbird was a broader search-language and query-understanding change. Pigeon is the one specifically associated with local results.
