Meta Title for large Metro Area landing page

[TracSoft]

Hello!

I am creating "metro landing pages" for an organization that has a 10-18 locations per metro city. The landing page houses brief information about the organization as a whole and then it has the locations listed with links to their respective pages. My question is how to optimize these titles.

My sample city is Atlanta, GA. This metro page includes 18 locations from the Atlanta area. Marietta, Sandy Springs, Decatur, etc...

My question is what is the best Meta Title to use for a Metro Page like this?

Would it be best to say

Day Care in Metro Atlanta | ABC Childcare Company | Child Care Atlanta Area

or is their a better way to optimize a large Metro landing page? I really appreciate any suggestions!

Thanks!!!

I'd probably go with the larger area, like Atlanta, unless keyword research told me different.

For that, I'd jump into any existing analytics data your company might have and look at incoming search terms and see if there are any searches coming in for locations within a metro area.

Similarly, I'd go onto the Google Keyword Research Tool to get some rough idea of search volume.  So, I'd have a look at "Day Care in Metro Atlanta" and look at the search volume, then sub out "Atlanta" for one of the locations, for example: "Day Care in Metro Marietta" and so on.  If there's any decent local search volumes, I'd be tempted to optimise for that area specifically.

Day Care in Metro Atlanta | Child Care Atlanta Area | ABC Childcare Company

Primary Keyword | Broader | Brand

If the title is too long: Primary Keyword | Brand

Just make sure the title fits in the serps (test with this).

Edit: As Tom suggested, definitely do your keyword research to see which terms are worth ranking for (what gets searched in general + what do you receive traffic for). That should tell you what your primary keywords/locations are.
