Optimising a website for multiple keywords and multiple towns
-
Hello,
We have a clients site who we are trying to rank for 10 keywords accross 20 towns so a combination of 200. What would be the best way to tackle this. Their url is www.abbottclarkeifa.co.uk.
Thanks
Shehzad

Thanks very much guys. Much appreciated

Is it spam to list all your products? And I would not suggest listing all the towns in the footer, but a link in the footer to a page that list all the towns. This way you keep your number of links down so link juice is not diluted.

Thanks for the answers guys.
Wouldnt it be considered spamming if I add all the towns in the footer?

I do as Martin does. Each location has its own page (Martin uses subfolders) and I target keywords and inbound links for my geo target
Internal linking is easy as you simply have a we serve the following areas link in your footer that then list all these areas. Each page then sends juice to this page and subsequently to the other pages.
Make sure to link directly to geo pages when mentioning in blogs, tweets, or Facebook post.

I've got a fair amount of experience doing just that, as the company I work in-house for operates in a series of very specific geographic areas.
I'll use your site as an example.
You'll do well to start with 20 of these, one for each of your areas.
www.abbottclarkeifa.co.uk/high-wycombe/
www.abbottclarkeifa.co.uk/reading/
www.abbottclarkeifa.co.uk/oxford/This is a relatively common practice. Be sure to add as much unique content to each as possible: local maps, phone numbers, addresses, reviews/testimonials. The bulk of the on-page effort (H1s, title, body) should then be focused primarily on the town name and your brand name, with at least a couple of instances of your primary keyword.
You can then spiral this out to the next level, e.g.:
www.abbottclarkeifa.co.uk/reading/financial-adviser-reading
www.abbottclarkeifa.co.uk/reading/pension-advice-reading
www.abbottclarkeifa.co.uk/reading/retirement-planning-readingAgain, focus each landing page toward the particular keyphrase, reflecting it in everything from the <title>to the image file names and alt attributes. (Don't go overboard or worry too much about keyword density.)</p> <p>Be sure to promote internal linking where possible (whereby as many of the pages link to as many of the others in as natural of a way as possible, with a focus on providing value and usability to prospective customers, not just for baiting crawlers).</p> <p>You can then, of course, start building keyword-rich anchor text backlinks from relevant sources to these landing pages.</p> <p>Hope this helps,</p> <p>Martin</p> <p> </p></title>

Advanced SEO - What would you do after you run out of keywords?
Hello! Our company has been growing in terms of traffic and ranking well for a couple of years but we are now kind of stagnating because we just don't know what to do next. We have a good blog - and with our blogs, we have been targeting all major keywords with their related keywords as a bucket. - "keyword theme / page" for a long time. But it seems we now don't have any major keyword theme to write about. What is worse is that we don't see any traffic growth since 2014 September. (although we added many good blogs) So what would do you when you run out of keywords? or keyword themes? Would you just keep pumping in more blogs and hope that you get more clicks? or at some point, you just don't care about keywords and write whatever relevant to your site? Wouldn't it hurt our site if we create similar keyword themed pages? (like regurgitating our keywords?) or even same keyword targeting pages? You must have similar experience if you are an owner of a niche site. Can you please share your experience with this kind of headaches? Thank you and look forward to your comments.
