Location Pages

[LMW]

Hi all,

Business who has 2 locations..

They have 2 separate pages for their locations

https://www.jacobsallen.co.uk/contact-us/jacobs-allen-bury-st-edmunds/

https://www.jacobsallen.co.uk/contact-us/jacobs-allen-haverhill/

But the location and address details also appear on

https://www.jacobsallen.co.uk/contact-us/ and the home page.

Is this going to be hurting their local SEO? In my opinion yes and the address info should just be on the 2 location pages.

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

IMO, no, I don't think this will hurt their local SEO. The NAP information has been structured under dedicated header tags and marked up with localBusiness schema. Google should be able to differentiate the information for Haverhill and Bury St. Edmunds based on this page structure.

Homepage Screenshot - Structured under dedicated H3 tags

Contact Us Screenshot - Structured under dedicated H2 tags

Hope this helps!

Hi there!

No worries: it's totally find to list all your locations on a contact page, and as you only have two locations, no worries about putting both on the homepage.

Hi

Can I also ask about a two location business scenario? We have the two location addresses in the footer except for the actual location pages where the footer only has the address of that location. Is this the best way to go? e.g. Glasgow office only has Glasgow address in the footer.

Some sites with multi location don't seem to have any address in the footer just leaving it to the content of the location pages.

Which is the best way?

Also, due to the the authority of the home page, we have tags for "Service" + primary location where we most want to rank. Usually the domains are not strong enough to rank without the location info. If I think about Estate Agents for example. Without putting a location in the tag on the Home page we would wait a long time to rank for the main location. so "Estate Agents" + Glasgow. However, we also have a location page for Glasgow. I know this isn't ideal but seems the best solution. What do you think?

Hi AL123al,

If you're marketing a business with just two locations, it's fine to have contact info for both in the footer. I don't think there's a "best" way here. I think you should do whatever works well for your customers and ensures that they can instantly surface info for getting in touch with you.

I believe you're also saying you've included the names of two cities in your homepage title tag. As you've only got two locations, that seems fine to me. If you had more than that, I think you'd start running out of room, and your title tag might look kind of run-on and spammy, but if you're just writing a tag something like:

Award-winning Oakland, Berkeley Realtors | HMS Realty

... you should be fine.
