With Google's Location Based Searches, Should I Include a City Name with My Keywords?

[CodyOelker-AMICreativeStudio]

What I mean is when you search on Google it seems to pull information by your location so would it be helpful including the city name + keyword still for SEO or would it be just as helpful using just the keyword?

For example, a client is in Alexandria, VA and has a computer repair shop so would "Alexandria computer repair" be as good or better than "computer repair"?

Just a little curious.

Thanks!

For a business that's very local-focused, it's a good idea to use location keywords in your title tag and occasionally use them in copy on the page. So your title tag might be something like Bob's Computer Fix-It Shop - Alexandria Computer Repair. Then your homepage might claim "We are the most awesome computer repair experts in Alexandria, VA."

Keep in mind, however, that searches with local intent often have the organic results buried underneath the Google local results. Make sure your Google+ page is amazing and encourage customers to review you on Google+.
