Local SEO New York City

[Digital Wiz]

How do I handle local SEO for a client who is serving New York City

Client may be located somewhare in New York but New York has 5 boroughs and client serves the entire New York City.

Manhattan (refereed to as New York), Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Bronx.



Queens is referred to as various neighborhoods, Forest Hills, Rego Park, Flushing etc.

Do I need a separate page for each borough?

What about Queens?

What if they do multiple services? Do I need a separate page for each service for each borough? How do I make sure I don't have duplicate content.

Is there any training or websites you would recommend I check out?

Thank you for your help.

You need to know all these things before you can even begin to make a start.
It will also depend on the type of business.

Has he only got one location and serves the whole of New York from there.

All I do know for certain is you will need a huge budget if you expect to rank for the whole of New York

Yes he has one location. How do other SEO agencies handle this?

O.K.. in a nutshell...

1. Build a unique page for each location

Each page will need its own content strategy
along with unique set of meta tags, titles and header texts.
Be creative. Don't just copy the same page over and over.

2. Create a seperate listings on Google My Business

3. Optimize your on-page content for each location

4. Create and promote citations specific to that location

5. Build backlinks that point specifically to each location

6. Collect reviews for each of the locations

Hope it helps :-)
