Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello SEO5,

Since I'm a virtual business wanting to rank well here in Dallas, as well as build my ranking nationally over time,

you're feedback on these two examples would be interesting:

The first address is the easiest to work with, as I have a keyword in each page URL, although having the keyword not so far back in the URL might be better for keyword ranking. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Miriam,

Yes, I have a local number and a unique physical address.  I'll change the phone number on the site to the local number instead of the 888 number, and forward to my service. I'll also aim for organic results. I'm a virtual business wanting to rank well here in Dallas where I'm located. Many thanks, Steve

I'd like to understand the pro's and con's of using a location subfolder as an SEO strategy (example: http://sqmedia.us/Dallas/content-marketing.html), where the /Dallas folder is holding all of my keyword rich page titles. The strategy is to get local-SEO benefits from the use of the folder titled /Dallas (a folder which is unnecessary in the over all structure of this site), but how much is this strategy taking away from the page-title keyword effectiveness?
