Service for multiple loccations
-
Hi,
OK so I have a page on my website which is 24 hour emergency electrician. Please take a look here https://www.otexelectrical.co.uk/windsor-24-hour-emergency-electrician
Now I am ranking OK for Windsor emergency electrician however I would like to do the same for the multiple different locations I've
I could create multiple URLs with different title and description meta information and submit using site map and web master tools however I'm aware that doing this I would be creating duplicate content.
Would a canonical link for each location pointing to the same page be OK to go with and if so how do I go about doing this? Do I do this by linking each area listed to the same page using rel=canonical?
Or if I'm thinking this all wrong how would you suggest I did this.
I'm very new to local SEO so you will probably notice in google I did origonally create multiple pages of the same content with location changes in content, meta tags etc. I realise now this was the wrong way to go about doing this hence why I've deleted these and edited my .htaccess to 301 to the same page.
The location links have dropped in the rankings.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers

Do you have a business that has a location in the towns Locations you wish to do business in?
You'll need to do face-to-face business in those towns which it sounds like you're doing to use Google business local.
The scribe something unique about the area in which your company is going to be doing business show them that you know the neighborhood and town. Is your business near the ocean? Are there any significant geographical differences that would do your company of being an electrician different for instance sea air might call for a different type of metal. Or you do boats?
Think of something unique about every town and make sure it is within their and authentic.

Hey Christopher,
you and only use the business address that is real and the actual dress for your company. So you have to optimize it or radius around a certain point. Say X amount or kilometers or miles from your business is your service area.
can be quite large.
answer this simply you must use the same address unless you open up another place where you do face-to-face business.
That helps,
Tom
