Hi 1AKAL,
If you have a physical location in those cities, then you would simply be building a location landing page for each office you have. These would be optimized with the complete NAP (name, address, phone) of each location and should feature good, unique content about the specific location.
If you don't have physical locations in these cities, the choice to build out a page for each target city should be predicated on having something unique to say about each location.

Find the business model in that post that describes your business model, and hopefully the recommendations provided will help you form a good, clean strategy. Please, let me know if you have any questions after reading that post.

It's going to be a bit more difficult if they have no physical presence in those cities. Can you give us a little more information about the type of business?

Create pages specifically dedicated to those cities - [Client Services] in [City Name] - [Brand]
Just know that you are at a disadvantage to companies that are actually local to the area and will need to have a much more authoritative backlink profile & content.

Google Is Linking to Wrong Local Page - How To Change?
Hi All Thanks in advance for any support. I've setup two "local" pages to target the next door town for one of my clients. One page targets "t shirt printing" and one page targets "embroidered workwear" However when I search for "embroidered workwear town in question" google connects the search to my t-shirt printing page and not the embroidered workwear page. Would it be possible to advise on what I need to do for the correct page to be linked to the search term? Here is a link to the search term in question **https://tinyurl.com/vvgr5r5 ** and the page that we would like to appear in the results, not our tshirt printing page https://tinyurl.com/s77md9o Thanks in advance for any help

Local Link Building Question: High DA Chambers vs Low PA Trade Groups
Hi all, We've been researching relevant, real organizations in our area that allow members to link their websites from the directory. I've basically got two buckets of prospects: Chambers of commerce type sites with more authority (DA ~40+) but less relevance to our niche (injury law) Bar associations with less authority (DA ~20) but super relevant. Assuming that they cost the same and covered the same geographic area, which links would you go after if you had to choose one or the other? Thanks in advance.
