            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.

                    @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.

                          Targeting your homepage for local SEO is crucial. It boosts visibility in local searches, driving more relevant traffic. By optimizing for local keywords and including location-specific content, your business can attract nearby customers and improve its local online presence

                              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.

                                    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.

                                      SVG image files causing multiple title tags on page - SEO issue?

                                      Does anyone have any experience with SVG image files and on-page SEO? A client is using them and it seems they use the title tag in the same way a regular image (JPG/PNG) would use an image ALT tag. I'm concerned that search engines will see the multiple title tags on the page and that this will cause SEO issues. Regular crawlers like Moz flag it as a second title tag, however it's outside the header and in a SVG wrap so the crawlers really should understand that this is a SVG title rather than a second page title. But is this the case? If anyone has experience with this, I'd love to hear about it.

                                      SEO value of "in the news" links on home page?

                                      Notice more sites have an "in the News" section on the home page, or something similar like press releases... Apart from providing users fresh content, is there an SEO value to this?  What is the explanation for this? Have a feeling the answer is obvious but just not too sure Thanks a lot.

                                      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
