29. A method comprising:
-
identifying a set of documents, as candidate documents, that are associated with a location;
determining, for each of the candidate documents, a first signal based on a number of outlinks from one or more of the candidate documents that point to the candidate document;
determining, for each of the candidate documents, a second signal based on whether there is anchor text, which matches all or part of a name of a business associated with the location, associated with a link that points to the candidate document;
determining, for each of the candidate documents, a third signal based on whether a title of the candidate document matches all or part of the business name;
determining, for each of the candidate documents, a fourth signal based on whether a domain name associated with the candidate document matches all or part of the business name;
determining, for each of the candidate documents, a fifth signal based on whether the candidate document is associated with a single location;
weighting the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth signals;
combining the weighted first, second, third, fourth, and fifth signals to identify a score for each of the candidate documents; and
processing the candidate documents based on the scores.
