How Does Dynamic Content for a Specific URL Impact SEO?

[ey_sja]

Example URL:  http://www.sja.ca/English/Community-Services/Pages/Therapy Dog Services/default.aspx

The above page is generated dynamically depending on what province the visitor visits from.  For example, a visitor from BC would see something quite different than a visitor from Nova Scotia; the intent is that the information shown should be relevant to the user of that province.

How does this effect SEO?  How (or from what location) does Googlebot decide to crawl the page?

I have considered a subdirectory for each province, though that comes with its challenges as well.  One such challenge is duplicate content when different provinces may have the same information for some pages.  Any suggestions for this?

Do you only change it depending on the Canadian location? What do you do for US visitors? Googlebot sees what you give to people in the US.

Here is what they see, which is what I see viewing the page from Texas. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:nBPI0a8zKqQJ:www.sja.ca/English/Community-Services/Pages/Therapy%2520Dog%2520Services/default.aspx+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

I assume there is content on this page other than what I am seeing. So duplicate content is not your problem, lack of content is. Google operates on a per country basis, but even knowing that I would still suggest different pages for different regions if the content is really different.
