Redirect our www.website.com to website. Com/target-keyword

Dear moz community

I have been analyzing the websites that rank in top 20 for our target keywords. All of the top 20 sites except us have their websites re directing to websites.com/target keyword. This is due to probably because they have multiple city's and one of the target keywords term is cityname + word.

My question is and idea -  make a 301 to our www.website.com to /city-keyword and start linking to that page with new links.

Would that bring any benefit? Seems that it's a very strong ranking signal. Any threats that I must take into account? We currently rank as #9

So yes, to clarify -we are an classified advertisements website. Everybody else has lets say website for spain and then they split that website into city-keyword. As we are only for one city, but in our domain name, there is no mention of the keyword, would making a 301 redirect of our main www.example.com to **website.com/target keyword **give us a ranking edge? I see everybody is doing that who ranks highly.

Has anyone got any idea? All the top 10 ranking have it in their url. So im thinking doing a 301 from www.mysite.com to mysite.com/target-keyword

Hello,

Maybe someone has an idea? So my main site now is website.com and if i would make my main (homepage) website.com/keyword. Would that have an effect? What risks are there?
