Yoast local landing...posts?

[Meier]

Hey Moz squad.

I do some seo work for a multi location locksmith and garage door service.

On our locksmith website - We just use regular word press landing pages for all of our different city cities.

(btw if anyone has a good site architecture tips blog they know about, Send it my way!)

So with our Garage door site, we bought the yoast local plugin. And it wants to make our locations Blog posts instead of pages.

NOW what do you guys think. Does it matter? I know I have less control on how a blog post looks. But I'm just looking for different opinions. Thanks loves.

Hi Meier,

That seems like a bit of a strange suggestion. The thing about Yoast is that it's great and powerful but it can't really be used as a task list. Rather than seeing the items as "it's on the list so I have to do it", see them more as an indicator of "I should investigate that, it might need to be fixed.

Focus more on the UX here - would changing the landing pages to blog posts improve the user experience? Chances are the answer is no so I'd just stick with your current configuration.

Hope that helps!

Hi there,

What I can get from your question is whether to use blog posts or pages.
Strictly there is no difference. In my opinion I'd stay with the option that suits you the best.

The SEO optimization can be as good for blog posts or pages.

Best luck.
GR.
