Ranking question

[gslc]

I have a question about the organic listing vs local listings my website ranks 1st for the local listings but I'm worried that since there's a site that is over the local the local listings im loosing traffic. I have a seo company working on my website. should I create a page my www.website/keyword vs building links to  website.com.

If it is the 1st way should I blog create links to that new page?

my site is www.greensidelawncare.com my keyword is st Charles lawn care

Sorry, I didn't actually look at the site, but yes agreed,  I would certainly ensure St. Charles, MO was in the title tag for that page and any additional pages that they are looking to rank for!

Hi John,

I would actually suggest trying to put St. Charles, MO in your title tag like the competitor that is ranking above you.

That will help with ranking higher for the keywords "St Charles Lawn Care" AND is way easier than creating additional pages AND your homepage already has very good rankings.

If you haven't already, make sure you are listed in all of the local business directories at GetListed.org to further increase your local presence.

Good luck.

Mike

If it makes sense to your website to add a page about that particular keyword, then yes I would definitely do that and look to rank that page for that keyword.

Creating new and unique content on your website is a positive SEO move.

I have done something similar on client sites and created a page for each service offering and written a lot of content about each service and that puts me up top for organic listings as well as the local.

As long as you aren't duplicating content, working on optimising a new page for a specific keyword is a good way to go.
