    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. Write unique introductions for each location landing page focusing on the area's specific context.
    2. Include descriptions of services with clear local relevance and mention common nearby landmarks if helpful.
    3. Ensure visible and easy-to-find contact details and business hours.
    4. Add customer trust elements such as certifications and local policies when applicable.
    5. Audit and remove duplicate text reused across multiple location pages.

    Watch for

    Duplicate or thin pages with only swapped location names confuse search engines and offer poor user experience.

    Definition of done

    Each location page has distinct, helpful content with natural location references and practical local details.
