    Why this matters

    Unique, localized pages enhance relevance in local search and prevent thin content penalties.

    A STARTING-POINT EXAMPLE

    Hypothetical standard operating procedure

    Adapt this example to your site, access, tools, and change process. It is our suggested procedure, informed by the sources below.

    1. Identify all service areas and cities your business serves.
    2. Create one dedicated page per location with unique, relevant copy describing services and local context.
    3. Include location-specific keywords naturally and add a clear call-to-action (e.g., contact info or booking link).
    4. Ensure each location page is accessible from the main website via menu or internal links.
    5. Regularly review pages for content quality and update with local events or news as appropriate.

    Watch for

    Avoid duplicating content across multiple location pages to prevent keyword cannibalization and ranking dilution.

    Definition of done

    Each location page has 300+ words with local keywords and a clear call-to-action visible on the page.
