Hello everyone,
My name is Stacy and I run an entertainment website. We are magicians based in Akron Ohio. I have researched, read and watch every video I can find on SEO. I have a amateurs understanding of SEO and hope this isn't a dumb question.
Even though we are based in Akron Ohio, we receive a majority of our work from Cleveland. My question... how do we target Cleveland? To begin with, I'm not sure how to layout the site. Should we choose 4 of the biggest terms and then target smaller more specific via blog? When I began keyword searching for terms that might fit our business I found terms such as Magician, magicians, and Magicians for hire rank rather well. When I add "Cleveland" in front of these terms, i'm receiving 0 search results. I guess this is where I get confused. Since we are trying to target this city, should we be long tailing with Cleveland in front of our terms?
Truly having a hard time targeting this city and not sure how to go about it.
