Local SEO - 'Near me' phrases
-
Hi all,
I would like to start works to give our website more visibility for 'near me' searches for x2 of our services.
We have 130+ stores throughout the UK and would like to rank if someone in i.e. Leeds was to search 'pawnbroker near me'.
Please can you advise the best way to achieve this? Do I need to add scheme mark up? If so, does this go on the service page? Or do I need to place on individual store pages?
Any help much appreciated!
Kind regards,
Jack

Thanks, Andrew - but I must admit, i'm totally confused as to what I use and where!
Presuming I want to show in local near me searches for 1 service, do I need to add each address to the service web page in question?

I've never implemented this but......
Schema does offer this
https://schema.org/parentOrganization
and also this
So you would set up the branches of your organisation with different addresses.

Thanks, Andrew.
Would I need to create a separate page for each town/city? Or can I place multiple city names in one page? We have over 130 stores you see.

Make sure you have your Google business listing set up (and bing places for business)
Put your address in the footer of your website and use schema markup
This will associate our business with your area.

Few question about SEO
HI guys, I have few questions and I always find good answer here. I tried many SEO companies some very expensive and well known some with medium prices and some from India. I’m not an SEO expert but I always get the same things from SEO companies. They're saying you have to stay with us for few months before you’ll see any results. I completely understand however I don’t see the result on the end.1. What exactly Do I need SEO company for, after I do on page optimisation if they don’t work on proper backlinks. Just letting you know I’m getting content from other people.2. Is there something else which is really important after your page is optimised than backlinks? Or we should fully focus on get backlinks from customers, guest post, sharing on social media etc. to increase our DA and PA?3. Any advice about some individual or company who is good in backlink services?

Content Marketing for Local Businesses
Hey guys! As someone who works with a number of local businesses (with localized target markets) I find that developing ideas for content marketing can be VERY difficult. I like the idea of creating local guides, local event info etc, but what other ways can we create content for a localized target market? For example: I have an OBGYN client that we'd love to create content for that is related to their niche (women's health), but don't want to promote or create content for national audience. That would seem incredibly wasteful. Would love to hear ideas on how to create targeted content for a local audience! Thanks
