      I'm dealing with some geographical keywords that may cause me problems. If I target a county and a city inside that county that share part of a name, will I be at risk for cannibalization? For example, if I want to target "Jasper County Adoption Attorneys" and "Jasper Park Adoption Attorneys," will I be at risk just based on cannibalization?

      Thanks,

      Ruben

        I wouldn't think it'd be a problem if you have good, unique content on each page. There are a few things to be careful of. This is a really useful post from Rand, a few years old but still mostly relevant: http://moz.com/blog/ranking-for-keyword-cityname-in-multiple-geographies

          Hi Ruben,

          Agree with Alex. Provided you have unique content for each page, you should be okay.
