Ranking number 1 on google for multiple locations is a dream come true for most business owners for obvious reasons. The more locations you can rank number one on google, the more customers you will attract.
However, because of its algorithm, Google makes it difficult for your business to rank outside of your city and sometimes even your neighbourhood, unless you know how.
In this video, you will learn how to rank number 1 on google for multiple locations despite the algorithm restrictions and generate new customer leads in the process.

This strategy, as outlined here, is REALLY good. As someone that does a lot of research for local business websites and ranking I can tell you with CERTAINTY this strategy works super good for organic search results.Yes, unique content is most likely the better way to go, but even if the content is about the same for each city page - they will still rank as mentioned here.

Can we use the same photos for all city pages? Are they not going to be duplicated content? You used the same photos on your Excel Electrician website. Please explain.

@rankingacademy Жыл бұрын

Hi Tajinder. Thanks very much for your comment. As you rightly noticed I have used the same images on all the pages and it didn't stop the pages from ranking. It's not uncommon for websites to use the same images on multiple pages. As mentioned in the video I would always encourage business owners to use unique content for each page (including images) but I just wanted to test whether or not the pages would rank regardless, and they do.

Hey biggest Frank! long time no speak. The only thing I do was explained in the video. I just add internal links to the location pages. The one additional thing I do, which I didn't talk about in the video, was to submit the page to be indexed on Google via search console. It's not necessary as it gets pick up anyway. It's more for piece of mind.

Hi Luc, Happy New year to you $ thanks for the tutorial. I have 2 questions: a) Is it possible/what is the best way to rank in the top 3 - 5 on Google Maps for a ".. near me" keyword? and b) Is there a distance limit on how far one can rank highly for a local business on Maps in any given location?

@rankingacademy Жыл бұрын

Hi Stephen Thanks and happy new year to you too. Yes it is very possible to rank for "near me searches" The main factor would be the proximity of the business to the searcher who is using "near me". There is no distance limit to rank as such. If you were the only plumber across the whole of the US for example, you would rank N#1 for anyone searching plumber near me but since there is a ton of competition it makes it a lot harder.

Hey, Luc! I recently launched my small business, a recording studio, and I'm struggling somewhat to understand why other nearby businesses come up higher in Google/Google Maps results when I search "recording studios near me". We have more ratings than all of them, a better ranking than two of them (we come up fourth), and their websites, at least to me, don't seem as SEO-optimized as ours. Some of their websites even have spelling errors and such. Do you think it's a matter of seniority, or sheer number of clicks? Just wondering if you might have any insight, as I've been scratching my head on it. Thanks so much for the wonderful content!

There are many reasons why other businesses might be ranking above you. You mentioned your business was recently launched. This could be a good reason why you are not ranking as well as other already established business. I would also look at the link profile of the other business's website. You might find they have more links pointing to them. Try getting more links as well. Make sure your content is in line with your targeted keyword and your location too.

Hi Luc, and thanks for another great video. I'm Like # 275, and am a subscriber. London is a great example of a big city with lots of potential coverage areas. From your professional experience, do you feel there is a limit or max for service pages? For example, in the Houston area, I could easily list 30-40 additional service areas. Each would be highly appropriate, however prior to investing any time in publishing new pages, and presuming it doesn't slow down my home page loading time, does google begin to think a certain number can become too much or dare I say S p a m m y? Thanks for your ongoing excellent tips, Delfino

@rankingacademy Жыл бұрын

Hi Delfino. As explained in the video I would always suggest you try creating pages with unique content on them first. This will prevent any of your pages from being filtered out in search results as it may happen. There is no limit to the number of pages you can create but I would investigate where the opportunities are by looking at your keywords through your search console and google business insights report. Build 1 or 2 pages based on the results and wait for a bit to see if they rank. If they do, you can replicate the strategy for other locations.

I have spent 20 years watching people provide misleading stats to suit their own agenda. Ask a tradesmen what he wants and he will tell you phone calls.
