      For local SEO, creating separate location-specific pages is usually more effective than targeting your homepage alone. Location pages allow you to optimize for specific keywords, provide unique content relevant to each area, and include details like address, contact info, and local testimonials. This helps search engines better understand your relevance for each location, which improves your visibility in local searches. However, if you have just one main location or serve a small region, optimizing the homepage might be sufficient.

              @moz12pro When it comes to local SEO, it’s usually more effective to create a separate page for each location rather than focusing solely on the homepage. By doing this, you can customize the content and keywords for each specific area, which helps improve your visibility in local search results. While the homepage can still target broader terms, location-specific pages make it easier for search engines to understand your relevance to those areas and provide a better experience for users searching locally.

                  @moz12pro For local SEO, creating a separate page for each location is generally better than just targeting the homepage. A dedicated location page allows you to tailor content, keywords, and local information for that specific area, making it more relevant to search engines and users. While your homepage can still target broader keywords, location-specific pages will help improve your visibility in local search results and provide a better user experience.

                    Targeting your homepage for local SEO is crucial. It boosts visibility in local searches, driving more relevant traffic. By optimizing for local keywords and including location-specific content, your business can attract nearby customers and improve its local online presence

                        There are pros and cons to both targeting your homepage for local SEO and creating separate location pages. Here's a quick breakdown:

                        • Targeting your homepage can be simpler, but it might not be as effective for highly specific local searches.

                        • Separate location pages allow for more targeted content and keywords, potentially boosting your local SEO for specific areas.

                          Often, a lot of SEO businesses just concentrate on building backlinks to just the homepage.

                          However, you should also build do-follow quality backlinks to many different pages and blog posts on your company website.

                              I always start with creating a location page for each city your business is located.

                              If you only have one city location then think about what is the most useful page for visitors to land on when searching for what you do. If it's your homepage, then promote that, but if it is the information you'd put in a location page, then promote that instead.

                              Honestly I tend to always create a location page no matter what and then push to rank both the homepage and the location page see which one Google likes best.

                                I have read in other discussions that having all questions on an FAQ page is the way to go and then if the question has an answer worthy of its own page, you should abbreviate the answer and link to the page with more content. My question is when using some templates in WP, they have a little + button you can click and it reveal the answer to the question. Does this hurt SEO versus having all text visible and then using headers/subheaders? An example of the + button https://fyrfyret.dk/faq/

                                Why is Google replacing my meta title with the business name on home page?

                                For all queries that return the home page, Google is not showing my meta title. Instead it replaced it with the official business name which of course makes it harder to rank for key terms since they don't exist now in the meta title. You can see this is you search on "mt view estate planning attorney". The site in question is dureelaw.com and the title showing is "The Law Office of Daniel L. DuRee." View the source and you'll see my meta title. Why is Google substituting it?

                                Hi all, It is widely known fact that you will be a bit in trouble if you will need to do SEO for luxury brand that is not willing to sacrifice design, layout etc. for SEO purposes. So basically - there is no content to optimize and there is almost no keywords to rank! 😉 Just wondering - how would be the best to approach such kind of terrible situation? Regards, Jungle

                                E-Commerce product pages that have multiple skus with unique pages.

                                Hey Guys, With the recent farm/panda update from google i'm at a cross roads as to how I should optimize product pages for a project i'm working on for a client. My client sells tires and one particular tire brand can have up to 15 models and each model can have up to 30 sizes. IE: 'Michelin Pilot Sport Cup' comes in 15 different sizes. Each size will have it's unique product page and description bringing me to my question. Should I use the same description on every size? I do plan on writting unique content for each tire model however i'm not sure if I should do it for every size. After all the tire model description is the same for every size, each size doesn't carry any unique characteristics that I can describe. Thanks in advance!

                                We have a website with a searchable database of recipes. You can search the database using an online form with dropdown options for: Course (starter, main, salad, etc)
                                Cooking Method (fry, bake, boil, steam, etc)
                                Preparation Time (Under 30 min, 30min to 1 hour, Over 1 hour) Here are some examples of how URLs may look when searching for a recipe: find-a-recipe.php?course=starter
                                find-a-recipe.php?course=main&preperation-time=30min+to+1+hour
                                find-a-recipe.php?cooking-method=fry&preperation-time=over+1+hour There is also pagination of search results, so the URL could also have the variable "start", e.g. find-a-recipe.php?course=salad&start=30 There can be any combination of these variables, meaning there are hundreds of possible search results URL variations. This all works well on the site, however it gives multiple "Duplicate Page Title" and "Duplicate Page Content" errors when crawled by SEOmoz. I've seached online and found several possible solutions for this, such as: Setting canonical tag Adding these URL variables to Google Webmasters to tell Google to ignore them Change the Title tag in the head dynamically based on what URL variables are present However I am not sure which of these would be best. As far as I can tell the canonical tag should be used when you have the same page available at two seperate URLs, but this isn't the case here as the search results are always different. Adding these URL variables to Google webmasters won't fix the problem in other search engines, and will presumably continue to get these errors in our SEOmoz crawl reports. Changing the title tag each time can lead to very long title tags, and it doesn't address the problem of duplicate page content. I had hoped there would be a standard solution for problems like this, as I imagine others will have come across this before, but I cannot find the ideal solution. Any help would be much appreciated. Kind Regards
