Is it possible to use sub URLs in Citations?

[BrianBotts.]

Hello,

One of my client has business in 5 different locations so he has URL's like: "www.abc.com/city-service" for which he has listing verified in each location. I can certainly say that Google Business allow sub pages URL in citations (correct me if I am wrong).

I am not sure if it is possible to use the sub URL's like: www.abc.com/city-service in different citations websites? Also, if this would be a good approach or not?

Please help me.

Hi Brian,

Yes, you can (and should) be using the location landing pages on the website as the website links in your citations for a multi-location business. So, your citations for your business in Chicago can link to mycompany.com/chicago and your citations for your business in Denver can link to mycompany.com/denver. Just be sure that:

1. You are consistently linking ALL Chicago citations to the Chicago landing page on the website. Don't link some to that page, some to the homepage and some to other pages. Consistency is key.

2. Be sure each of the location landing pages is of very high quality, with complete NAP at the top (preferably in Schema) and very good content. No thin, duplicate content.

3. Be sure each location has its own local phone number.

Hope this helps!
