Keyword order on location searches

[MagicianUK]

If someone is trying to find a service in a certain area they might use Google to search for "London plumber", "Plumber London" or "Plumber in London".  Is there any research to show which of these tends to be used most, or are they all roughly the same?  Thanks!

Hi MagicianUK,

Very good question. Linda Buquet did an awesome piece on this topic just a couple of months ago. Suggest you read:

Of course, there is not going to be an answer which speaks to every case, but Linda's research is very illuminating. Hope you'll find it helpful!
