Couple of noob questions

[klsdnflksdnvl]

Hi, couple of easy questions for you guys...

Im a web designer and my #1 keyword is web design huddersfield.

I own the domain huddersfield.com,

and i will have a page titled web design.

Now do i target the web design page or the index page as i don't want keyword cannibalization, but is it better for my index page to be the landing page?

#2 Considering that huddersfield.com is my domain should i set the title to:

web design huddersfield    or just

web design?

please help.

If that is your main service, I would probably optimize the homepage for Web Design Huddersfield. You can have as many additional pages on web design as you want throughout your site as long as the content is unique. For instance, Ecommerce Website Design Huddersfield or Responsive Web Design Huddersfield.

This approach will allow users that land on your homepage to then specify the type of web design they are looking for using your navigation. It also allows you to write a ton of unique content for those specific areas of web design on other pages - which should hopefully act as landing pages for visitors seeking a specific type of web design.

Does that makes sense?

Yes thats great thanks, ill optimize my other pages for responsive & wordpress design.

Any input on the second question please?

I personally would do Web Design Huddersfield | Company Name

That way you are specifying that your company does web design in the Huddersfield area.

It helps build your brand.

Nice domain.

Have you thought about  turning the domain into a local directory with pages targeting the various types of service businesses, stores, churches, schools, sports, etc. in your area.

Your own page could be at huddersfield.com/web-design/

If you can do that and produce good rankings for the business niches then those store, service, church, sports, etc. pages would be a great launching pad for your clients.

You might also be able to sell advertising on the site.   And, the site would be great advertising for your biz.

Thanks,

Do you know of any popular/done-right directories , directories to me seem a little drab and uninteresting...

I understand your concern.

If I had the domain for a similar size town in the USA where I lived I would give it a shot.  In addition to directory pages I would have a lot of local content and it would grow over time.
