Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Miriam for the awesome input, I will work on making these changes asap.

Another question (seems never ending lol).

Do you suggest I build backlinks to rank these pages higher? or should i be building backlinks to my main domain.

Thanks Miriam! I almost got it now.

Now I have a question regarding my "main services page"

Should I be mentioning areas under title and description on my main services pages (not local landing pages)

Service : Basement finishing

url: http://www.example.com/basement-finishing

title: Basement Finishing & Remodeling | company | Call 555-555-5555!

description: Basement Finishing & Basement Remodeling | Transform Unfinished Basements To Livable Square Footage. Ashburn | Sterling | Loudoun

Or should I leave the areas out of description under main pages and use those specifically for local landing pages.

Thanks Miriam!!

Hey Guys

One More quesetions.

After I setup the pages to above format, on my local landing page can i cross link them with other local pages?

for example if im on basement remodeling ashburn page can i put other areas we serve section and cross link them to other landing pages?

Thanks Miriam! This makes more sense now!

Ah this makes more sense!

Another question if i am going to link off of those pages. could i just make the main url this?

basement-remodeling-va

kitchen-remodeling-va

and have the link silo like you mentioned from the post it self? or even service areas

Hey Matt,

Thanks for the response, If i were to silo them. What would I put in my main navigation?

Wouldn't it look funny if my main navigation listed multiple of the same?

basement-remodeling

kitchen-remodeling

basement-remodeling

kitchen-remodeling?

Thanks!

Hi Miriam,

Thanks for the quick response!

The reason I am asking is where my business is located we have other citys near by literally 5-10 miles apart.

I've seen my competitor do a similar thing and they seem to be ranking very well. http://www.example.com/bathroom-remodeling-sterling-leesburg-herndon-reston-ashburn-va/

http://www.example.com/bathroom-remodeling-sterling-leesburg-herndon-reston-ashburn-va/

I guess my main question is can i setup the main services url to include those near by citys and state and create additional pages like

http://www.example.com/bathroom-remodeling-in-ashburn-va/ etc etc

so main services would look like

basement-remodeling-ashburn-sterling-leesburg-va

bathroom-remodeling-ashburn-sterling-leesburg-va

and have lead capture pages like

bathroom-remodeling-in-ashburn

bathroom-remodeling-in-sterling and so on.

Sorry if my questions seem repetitive i am just confused with the whole local seo scene.

Hey Guys and Gals,

What's the best format for service urls for local seo?
