Local Cannibalization / Location Pages Optimization

There were a few problems with the campaign that needed our attention. Remember at the beginning of the post I said that we were dealing with filtering issues? Well, we solved this and these problems are plaguing more service-based businesses than you would believe. As Google increases its crusade to always serve the best, most relevant content to its users, we are seeing that by catering to its hyperlocal proximity is rewarding us with rankings and phone calls alike.

 

When we took over this client the pages on the site looked like this:

  • domain.com/locksmith-north-cityname
  • domain.com/locksmith-south-cityname
  • domain.com/locksmith-east-cityname
  • domain.com/locksmith-west-cityname

The city was broken into four sections, north, south, east, and west. Each of these had their own GMB which was linked to its respective page. Google hated this setup.
