Location pages, done so they do not look spun

TemplateModerate90 minutes per page

What this fixes: No location pages · Thin location pages · Not showing up in nearby towns · Spun city pages

your company serves your service area, but a search engine only knows about the towns your site actually talks about. A homeowner two towns over searching for a pond builder in their town will find whoever wrote a real page about that town.

The trap is obvious and everybody falls in it. Somebody makes twenty pages by swapping the town name in the same paragraph. Search engines have been catching that for a decade, and it can drag down the pages that were working.

The rule that keeps you honest

Only build a page for a town where you have done work. If you have not worked there, you have nothing to say, and an empty page in a town you cannot service fills your phone with drives you do not want to make.

The structure

H1: Service in [Town], your state

Open with something true about working in that town. Lot sizes, soil, an HOA situation, a common drainage problem, a neighborhood you have worked in, how far it is from your shop.

Projects you have done there, with photos, linked to the full project pages. This is the heart of the page and it is why the page is not spun.

Conditions specific to that area. Clay, rock, water table, slope, deer, tree cover, whatever is actually true.

Which of your services matter most there and why.

Travel and scheduling. Plainly say how you handle that area.

Two or three FAQs specific to that town, including permits or HOA rules if they apply.

Call to action with your phone number.

Rules

Three hundred words of real content beats eight hundred words of filler. If you cannot write three hundred honest words about working in that town, do not build the page yet.

Never repeat a sentence across two location pages.

Link every location page to the service pages it mentions, and link back from the service page's service area section.

Start with three towns, not twenty. Do them properly, watch what happens, then add more.
