For local SEO, creating separate location-specific pages is usually more effective than targeting your homepage alone. Location pages allow you to optimize for specific keywords, provide unique content relevant to each area, and include details like address, contact info, and local testimonials. This helps search engines better understand your relevance for each location, which improves your visibility in local searches. However, if you have just one main location or serve a small region, optimizing the homepage might be sufficient.

While your homepage can still target broader keywords, location-specific pages will help improve your visibility in local search results and provide a better user experience.

@moz12pro When it comes to local SEO, it’s usually more effective to create a separate page for each location rather than focusing solely on the homepage. By doing this, you can customize the content and keywords for each specific area, which helps improve your visibility in local search results. While the homepage can still target broader terms, location-specific pages make it easier for search engines to understand your relevance to those areas and provide a better experience for users searching locally.

@moz12pro For local SEO, creating a separate page for each location is generally better than just targeting the homepage. A dedicated location page allows you to tailor content, keywords, and local information for that specific area, making it more relevant to search engines and users. While your homepage can still target broader keywords, location-specific pages will help improve your visibility in local search results and provide a better user experience.

There are pros and cons to both targeting your homepage for local SEO and creating separate location pages. Here's a quick breakdown:
-
Targeting your homepage can be simpler, but it might not be as effective for highly specific local searches.
-
Separate location pages allow for more targeted content and keywords, potentially boosting your local SEO for specific areas.
-
-
Often, a lot of SEO businesses just concentrate on building backlinks to just the homepage.
However, you should also build do-follow quality backlinks to many different pages and blog posts on your company website.

It was a very interesting method

I always start with creating a location page for each city your business is located.
If you only have one city location then think about what is the most useful page for visitors to land on when searching for what you do. If it's your homepage, then promote that, but if it is the information you'd put in a location page, then promote that instead.
Honestly I tend to always create a location page no matter what and then push to rank both the homepage and the location page see which one Google likes best.

My site on desktop browser: page 2 /mobile browser: page 0
Using my two most pertinent keywords in Chome my site shows up page two. Using the same keywords on my iPhone does not show my site at all (I clicked on to page 15). I have a mobile ranking of 84 on Google PageSpeed Insights. Could be a bit higher but not enough to totally ignore my site. What am I missing?

From an SEO perspective, which is preferable in the URL for a non-English site: local language or English?
For example, the article is titled ' गर्मी में त्वचा की देखभाल कुछ यूँ करें' (English Meaning: Skin Care Tips for Summer), which one of these three URLs is best for SEO purpose? 1. example.com/ गर्मी-में-त्वचा-की-देखभाल/ (URL in local language, Hindi in this case) 2. example.com/summer-skin-care-tips/ (URL uses English words with English translation) 3. example.com/garmi-mein-twacha-ki-dekhbhaal/ (Hindi words, but written in Roman English) A response will be much appreciated, Amit

Keyword Appearing on Home Page - Moz Page Grader
Hi Today I entered www.partydomain.co.uk through the Moz Page Grader and found that the Home Page is Ranked B. I noticed that an Area we could improve on is the amount of times we are using our main keyword "Fancy Dress" on the home page. Please can you take a look at www.partydomain.co.uk and scroll to the bottom of the page were the tabs are containing losts of content. I am thinking about removing all of thoose Tabs. Our Competitors dont have any content as such on the home page and are ranking higher than Party Domain for "fancy dress" What do you think ? remove all the tabs to be like the others that rank better? Or cut the text right down ? Thanks Adam

Can you 301 redirect to a page that has other pages 301 to it?
Two years ago updated url page to include better keywords and used a 301 redirect from the old page to the new. so www.example.com/keyword-1st-generation.html now points to ... www.example.com/keyword-2nd-generation.html That moved the pages up in ranking, but now have better kw for the url, so is it okay to redirect the /keyword-2nd-geration-html to www.example.com/keyword-3rd-generation.html And what is a good length of time before removing the 1st-generation url? It's been 3 years and there is no chance of using it again. Plus, no sign of it in analytics.

Faq page
We are redoing our faq page and we were trying to decide on the best format. 1. Create each question on a separate page 2. Create one page with all the question and have the questions expand 3. Create different faq category pages (like 4) and divide the questions between them From my perspective #1 seems the best ---. you can create hyper relevant content for the user and optimize each question really well Any experience with this?

Would it be bad to change the canonical URL to the most recent page that has duplicate content, or should we just 301 redirect to the new page?
Is it bad to change the canonical URL in the tag, meaning does it lose it's stats? If we add a new page that may have duplicate content, but we want that page to be indexed over the older pages, should we just change the canonical page or redirect from the original canonical page? Thanks so much! -Amy
