Creating a Blog of Rodent Removal Companies?
-
I am helping a small company. Lets say rodent removal is their service.
But local SEO for rodent removal is very very competitive in my town and across America.
Would a website/blog dedicated to highlighting rodent removers across America be good for my company? We have had nice success with wordpress.com blogs.
Supposing I gave 6 other rodent removal companies a free guest post (always 300 words or more) or whatever to post on my blog.
Of course, none of these companies would be in my market.
Would that help my local SEO? I am thinking long term here?

Would it help your client? Probably not, but I think you might have a cool idea!
I have always been a big fan of creating community pages. If you can create a site for any group of people in which they can come to rely on you and your content, as well as feel like they can contribute, than it is a win/win for everyone. Make it more than just guest blogs though. Think about how you can generate interest through White Papers, webinars presented by leaders in the industry, even a YouTube channel in which your members can discuss the latest trends in rodent destruction. Think about it as if you are creating an SEOmoz for rodent eradicators. I think that there is something there. You can focus on helping them run their business more efficiently, marketing their business, etc. You will also be able to monetize it relatively easily with the inclusion of banner ads and content generated by companies that target exterminators.
There are similar websites (see Pestworld.org), but I have not seen a community site yet. Doesn’t mean it isn’t out there, I just did a cursory search.
Good luck!
