Location in domain name but want to expand

[jamesjd7]

my blog is ocpatentlawyer.com.  The domain name has the OC letters in it.  When los angeles internet users land on my blog, they don't click through to the contact page or pick up the phone to call me.

Should i start a new blog with a LA focus then link to this new LA patent blog from my main OC blog?  I'm hoping that the LA internet users who land on my OC blog will click through to the LA blog and feel as if I'm in their neighborhood.

Should I leave my domain name the same but change the blog to something neutral such as XYZ patent attorney?

The basic thing that I want to do is to convert the LA users from my oc blog.  I'm unsure how to do it.

Hi James,

I would go for creating a new blog for LA users and create a small advertising from the existing OC blog. If you have a mailing address in LA too then you will be able to optimize the other blog with local listings(Google, Yellow pages, etc.).

This is only my opinion, I hope it helps.

Cheers,

Istvan

Hello Jamesjd7, Thanks for coming to Q&A to ask your question. I want to be sure I'm understanding your query correctly. Does the OC in your domain name refer to 'Orange County' or something else? You don't mention what the OC stands for. Where is your business physically located? In Orange County? In Los Angeles County? Some more details would be helpful.

Thanks! Miriam
