        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.

                                  Is it better to target fewer keyword terms more often throughout a site or more keyword terms less often?

                                  For example we have 5 different briefcases styles on our site with 5 different colors each. Is it better to have them all target the same keyword term: ie. Men's Leather Briefcase Bag - Examiner No. 5 Black Leather | Ghurka Men's Leather Briefcase Bag - Examiner No. 5 Brown Leather | Ghurka Men's Leather Briefcase Bag - Examiner No. 5 Tan Leather | Ghurka Men's Leather Briefcase Bag - Examiner No. 5 Black Twill | Ghurka Men's Leather Briefcase Bag - Examiner No. 5 Navy Twill | Ghurka etc. OR Men's Leather Briefcase Bag - Examiner Leather Bag for Men | Ghurka Leather Men's Briefcase Bag - Examiner Leather Bag for Men | Ghurka Leather Handmade Briefcase - Examiner Leather Bag for Men | Ghurka Men's Designer Business Bag - Examiner Leather Bag for Men | Ghurka Leather Men's Laptop Bag - Examiner Leather Bag for Men | Ghurka Advice would be greatly appreciated!

                                  On-Page Analysis Question

                                  Hi, I have a question about the On-Page Analysis report. I am tracking two different keywords for our campaign: "Private Dining" and "Private Dining Sacramento". We are ranked 8th for Private Dining Sacramento but we have an On-Page analysis rating of F. While on the other hand we are not ranked in the top 50 for Private Dining but have an A on-page report. When looking at the on-page report it makes sense that we have an F for Private Dining Sacramento as we don't use that keyword anywhere on the page. We only use Private Dining. However, we are still ranked for Private Dining Sacramento and not for Private Dining. Should we update our keywords/text to use the Private Dining Sacramento keyword instead of the Private Dining? If we add Sacramento will we also get credit for Private Dining because it will still be part of all H,P and A tags we use? Sampe Report | Keyword | Grade | Google US |
                                  | URL | Current | Change | Rank | Change |
                                  |   | Private Dining /private-dining | A | No-change-icon | no data |
                                  |   | Private Dining Sacramento /private-dining | F | No-change-icon | 8 | No-change-icon |

                                  Google is indexing spam pages from my site. What is the most effective way to get ride of the search results? Pages are deleted now but should I do something more?

                                  A long time ago I created a forum (Invision Power Board) and it got full of spam. Massive amounts! /forum/ I've now deleted the forum but the spam pages are still indexed on Google. Can I do something else to hurry up the process to get ride of them?
