            Hey guys i need know whether targeting homepage for local SEO is good or creating separate page for locatin

            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.

                                      Thoughts on adding "near me" to title tag for local SEO?

                                      I want to lean out my title tags and will most likely be doing an A/B test. They currently have the "Near Me" modifier in there, which I believe Google can distinguish local SEO without it. Thoughts?

                                      Should I optimize my home-page or a sub-page for my most important keyword

                                      Quick question: When choosing the most important keyword set that I would like to rank for, would I be better off optimizing my homepage, or a sub page for this keyword. My thinking goes as follows: The homepage (IE www.mysite.com) naturally has more backlinks and thus a better Google Page Rank. However, there are certain things I could do to a subpage (IE www.mysite.com/green-widgets-los-angeles ) that I wouldn't want to do to the homepage, which might be more "optimal" overall. Option C, I suppose, would be to optimize both the homepage, and a single sub-page, which is seeming like a pretty good solution, but I have been told that having multiple pages optimized for the same keywords might "confuse" search engines. Would love any insight on this!

                                      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.

                                      Listing all services on one page vs separate pages per service

                                      My company offers several generalized categories with more specific services underneath each category. Currently the way it's structured is if you click "Voice" you get a full description of each voice service we offer. I have a feeling this is shooting us in the foot. Would it be better to have a general overview of the services we offer on the "Voice" page that then links to the specified service? The blurb about the service on the overview page would be unique, not taken from the actual specific service's page.

                                      URL Path. What is better for SEO

                                      Hello Moz people, Is it better for SEO to have a URL path like this: flowersite.com/anniversary_flowers/dozen_roses OR flowersite.com/dozen_roses Is it better to have the full trail of pages in the URL?

                                      Page Title in Local SEO Title Tags?

                                      Hi All, Still working on my title tag usage for local SEO, and I was hoping for some more feedback. My question is this: In Local SEO titles, I'm using location + keyword combinations, unique on each page. However, since each page has a specific title for the client, I figure I should be placing that at the front. My thought here was that this helps with the overall usability to the reader of the website. Ex. Contact Us page for Pizza shop Contact Us | Springfield IN Gourmet Pizza | Moe's Italian Pizza Anyone have thoughts on this one? Thank you!

                                      Are blank Product Review pages bad for SEO?

                                      Hi there, I'm running a new e-commerce site (BoatOutfitters.com) and have a question about our product review pages. On our current campaign, we have a lot of duplicate page content errors. When we export the data, it's almost all blank product review pages (since we are new, we don't have that many product reviews yet). Our product reviews aren't run through javascript, so we originally did not add them to a robots.txt file - however, I'm now wondering if it's worse to have all of these duplicate blank pages, or is it not affecting our SEO at all? Should we just wait until these products have reviews which will benefit our SEO and then they won't be considered "duplicate pages" - right? Sorry if this has been answered before - new here at SEO Moz and just looking for some help. Thanks!
