Best Strategy For Multiple Geographic Targets

[waynekolenchuk]

I have a client who operates and gets business from several cities in the same geographic area. Does anyone have suggestions that will allow him to get leads for the same service from multiple cities.

Any help appreciated.

I would just suggest individual pages per city per service (or product).

Would getting local listings for the area they are actually located in affect getting ranked in other cities? Should I avoid doing this?

With limited specific info at this point I would say no. Again Google ranks web pages not web sites. So just because the home page ranks really well in their actual HQ city doesnt mean that a page for a city a few miles down the road wolnt rank well too. And it wouldnt hurt either. It makes comon sense that a Company providing a specific service a town over could also serve this town. Just build links to the right city pages and you should be good.
