Okay, got it. That's what I figured, but SEO tools are limited to not take this variation into account, so I wasn't sure.

How much does punctuation affect on-page SEO?
I have a page on a site that is targeted for "men's custom suits." Using the on-page analysis tool from SEOmoz it gives me an F for "mens custom suits" but an A with the apostrophe.
Even though the apostrophe is proper English grammar, does it affect rankings either way?

RE: .CA or .COM?
Sorry I didn't reply to your post directly: I am trying to have her rank for: Arizona Real Estate, Arizona Homes for Sale, and Phoenix Real Estate (all in Google.ca, Yahoo.ca, and Bing.ca)

RE: .CA or .COM?
Peter,
True, it is a task. But there quite a few competitors in this area if you search for 'phoenix real estate,' 'arizona real estate,' etc. in google.ca.
It seems like I need to show the search engines that my goal is to rank in the Canadian search engines, but that I'm local in Phoenix. Therefore, I need to do heavy-duty local optimization for Phoenix.
Does this sound like it would work or am I making things up?

RE: .CA or .COM?
Her business is located officially in Scottsdale, AZ. She does have an office in her home in Calgary, Canada, but doesn't want people to know about it (because it's in her home). Thoughts with this new info?
Also, can you elude a bit to these other factors to target Canada? This way I can do further research. Thank you so much!

.CA or .COM?
If a real estate client of mine only wants to rank in the Google.ca, Yahoo.ca, and Bing.ca listings (doesn't care about the U.S. search engines), would it be advantageous of me to have her domain name by .ca and forget the .com?
She lives here in Phoenix, is originally Canadian, and goes back and forth. Interestingly, when searching in Google.ca, most domain names or .com. Is this because these people are trying to target both search engines?
Thank you!

RE: What is the best strategy to get a company located in one city, but does business in other cities, ranked locally in the other cities as well?
Ryan,
We were discussing him getting a temporary office in whatever city he wants to be found for, so then this would work with Google places, etc?
Also, how could he also be ranked for a city in Phoenix, like Scottsdale? Would we have to do the same thing as say Tucson or LA?
Also, each page needs to rank for it's own city right? You can't have the home page targeting both one or more cities without taking a hit in the SEs on each city?
Thanks so much for all this great info!

What is the best strategy to get a company located in one city, but does business in other cities, ranked locally in the other cities as well?
For example: this client is a custom clothier located in Phoenix, but would like to come up in the search engines for Scottsdale, Tucson, Prescott, Chicago, etc., because he travels to those cities and does business there with his custom clothing business. His website is www.artfultailoring.com
Right now, he'll come up for custom suits phoenix, custom shirts phoenix az, etc.
So how would I get him to come up in the search engines in more locations than just Phoenix?
