      I've been reading into tags, and I would like to know what the best ways to do them for a local search are.

      Right now I have a title that reads similar to, "Keyword1 and Keyword2 in City X"

      Would I make a corresponding tag that reads "Keyword 1 and Keyword 2 in City X,"?

      Or would I do "Keyword 1," "Keyword 2," and, "City X," as separate tags?

      Thanks!

        Hi Oomdo

        For local seo, your citations aka your NAP in youtube description goes a long way because in local seo world it works as a link

        If you need more info Dana DiTomaso did a great post on earlier this year: http://moz.com/blog/you-asked-i-answered-qa-from-you-probably-think-this-citation-source-is-about-you-dont-you

        **3. Couldn't citations on sites such as YouTube and Flickr be flagged as spam?**Only if you're being spammy in your citation building. If the photo or video could contain a relevant address, I don't see an issue. For example, if the photo or video was taken at your business, then you're just saying (with a full NAP) where the photo or video was taken! I can't see how that would be considered spam - it's relevant information for the visitor.

        I agree with Dana that somethings will look spammy but your NAP in cases like a youtube video should not.

        Hope this helps
