      Whats the most effective may of targeting regional visitors, is it really just adding your city name at the end of your keywords?

      The website i'm trying to optimize is f1plus.co.uk and the target city is aberdeen.

      I'm new to seo so any views or tips welcome.

      Thanks

        Hey Jack

        I use the Geo Meta Tags to determine location of the website/business (check Wikipedia on this).

        Basically I insert these meta tags (example location)

        name="geo.position" content="37.996163;-95.712891" />
        name="geo.placename" content="6 Hassaluthdreef, Hasselt, Vlaams Gewest 3500, België" />

        Hope this helps, Jacob.

          Hi Jack,

          It is not at all necessary to add the city name behind the keyword for targeting regional visitor.

          Please use the local address if you have physical location.

          Use Google Places, (Local) to list out the business.

          Getlisted.org will give you more guideline on this.

            I would not use the location as a keyword. I would:

            • As Semil says, get a local listing such as Google Places
            • Get reviews on this listing
            • Have the address on the site (contact page)

            Phil
