Best practices for 301 redirect to a new location website.

[Vspeed]

We just opened a new location in a nearby city. We were already servicing this location from our main base. As such we had a special page for this location which raked fairly well.  The new location will have its own website. Would it be better to 301 redirect the current location page to the new location website? Or should we simply link from the old page to the new location's website? Any best practices?

Using a 301 redirect from the old location page to the new website would help kick start the traffic and rankings of that page and also indicate the expansion of services / business.  As for best practices, you'll want to go through the typical setup in local listing, and business listings with the new location. Beyond that, it's more in the same as you've done in the past. Cheers!
