Location Pages
-
Hi all,
Business who has 2 locations..
They have 2 separate pages for their locations
https://www.jacobsallen.co.uk/contact-us/jacobs-allen-bury-st-edmunds/
https://www.jacobsallen.co.uk/contact-us/jacobs-allen-haverhill/
But the location and address details also appear on
https://www.jacobsallen.co.uk/contact-us/ and the home page.
Is this going to be hurting their local SEO? In my opinion yes and the address info should just be on the 2 location pages.
Thanks in advance

Glad to help!

Hi AL123al,
If you're marketing a business with just two locations, it's fine to have contact info for both in the footer. I don't think there's a "best" way here. I think you should do whatever works well for your customers and ensures that they can instantly surface info for getting in touch with you.
I believe you're also saying you've included the names of two cities in your homepage title tag. As you've only got two locations, that seems fine to me. If you had more than that, I think you'd start running out of room, and your title tag might look kind of run-on and spammy, but if you're just writing a tag something like:
Award-winning Oakland, Berkeley Realtors | HMS Realty
... you should be fine.

Hi
Can I also ask about a two location business scenario? We have the two location addresses in the footer except for the actual location pages where the footer only has the address of that location. Is this the best way to go? e.g. Glasgow office only has Glasgow address in the footer.
Some sites with multi location don't seem to have any address in the footer just leaving it to the content of the location pages.
Which is the best way?
Also, due to the the authority of the home page, we have tags for "Service" + primary location where we most want to rank. Usually the domains are not strong enough to rank without the location info. If I think about Estate Agents for example. Without putting a location in the tag on the Home page we would wait a long time to rank for the main location. so "Estate Agents" + Glasgow. However, we also have a location page for Glasgow. I know this isn't ideal but seems the best solution. What do you think?

Hi there!
No worries: it's totally find to list all your locations on a contact page, and as you only have two locations, no worries about putting both on the homepage.

Hi there,
IMO, no, I don't think this will hurt their local SEO. The NAP information has been structured under dedicated header tags and marked up with localBusiness schema. Google should be able to differentiate the information for Haverhill and Bury St. Edmunds based on this page structure.
Homepage Screenshot - Structured under dedicated H3 tags
Contact Us Screenshot - Structured under dedicated H2 tags
Hope this helps!

Geo-location by state/store
Hi there, We are a Grocery co-operative retailer and have chain of stores owned by different people. We are building a new website, where we would geo-locate the closest store to the customer and direct them to a particular store (selected based on cookie and geo location). All our stores have a consistent range of products + Variation in 25% range. I have few questions How to build a site-map. Since it will be mandatory for a store to be selected and same flow for the bot and user, should have all products across all stores in the sitemap? we are allowing users to find any products across all stores if they search by product identifier. But, they will be able to see products available in a particular store if go through the hierarchical journey of the website. Will the bot crawl all pages across all the stores or since it will be geolocated to only one store, the content belonging to only one store will be indexed? We are also allowing customers to search for older products which they might have bought few years and that are not part of out catalogue any more. these products will not appear on the online hierarchical journey but, customers will be able to search and find the products . Will this affect our SEO ranking? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks - Costa

Store Locator Apps - Which Do You Use?
Hey Everybody! I'd so appreciate feedback from our web developers and Local SEO wizards here regarding store locator apps (you know - type in a city/zip and get shown the stores nearest you). There are a number of different paid options out there on the market, and a couple of free ones. If you are managing the websites/SEO for multi-location clients, would you share with me which store locator app you chose, why you chose it and how you like it? I am particularly interested in two things about these: Does you app allow you to build a permanent landing page for each store location, including the ability to fully customize the content on that page? In terms of ensuring that these landing pages get crawled, have you used an html sitemap, some type of directory page with crawlable links or some other feature that allows bots to reach the landing pages? Or, if you're not doing any of that, do you believe Google is crawling javascript/ajax/something else to get through your store locator widget to the landing pages? Thanks, in advance, for helping me with my research on this topic!

Disproportionate Links to Home Page
I'm a professional magician and mentalist who travels nationally for corporate events, social functions, and trade shows. Unfortunately, the landing pages are all for different venues and locations, but the product stays the same. How do you recommend optimizing for somebody whose product is essentially themselves? The pages have similar content, videos, etc., so I don't want to be dinged for duplicate content.

What is the Best Keyword Placement within a URL for Inner Location Pages?
I'm working on a website with 100s of locations. There is a location search page (Find Widget Dealer), a page for each state (Tennessee Widget Dealers) and finally a page for each individual location which has localized unique content and contact info (Nashville Widget Dealer). My question is is related to how I should structure my URL and the keywords within the URL. Keywords in my examples being the location and the product (i.e. widget). Here is a quick overview of each of the 3 tiered pages, with the Nashville page being the most optimized: Find Widget Dealer - Dealer Page only includes a location search bar and bullet list links to states Tennessee Widget Dealers - Page includes brief unique content for the the state and basic listing info for each location along with links to the local page) Nashville Widget Dealer - Page includes a good amount of unique content for this specific location (Most optimized page) That said, here are the 3 URL structure options I am considering: http://website.com/widget-dealers/tennesee/nashville http://website.com/dealers/tennesee-widget-dealers/nashville http://website.com/dealers/tennesee/nashville-widget-dealer Any help is appreciated! Thank you

Is it okay for my H3 Tag to appear above my H2 Tag on the Web Page
Hello All, I am currently doing my H1 ,H2, H3 Tags on my redesigned website We have the ability to have links to relevant DIY Guides on the bottom of our webpage and these are currently displayed under a heading "DIY Useful Guides" above my on page content which is at the bottom of the page. My H2 Tag will obviously be the title that sits above my On Page Content at the bottom of the Webpage and I was going to do the H3 Tag for my DIY Guides Is it a problem if the H3 tag sits above the H2 Tag on the Page or not ? Or have i got this wrong and I need to move the DIY Guides (links) to below the on page content so the H3 tag sits below the H2 tag? thanks Pete OTmPbbR
