local biz seo: 1 site for all locations or multiple sites?

[roukousnel]

Hello people!
I've been a studying a bit about local seo.

So let me be straight to the point!
I want to create a website/ or multiple websites for a cleaning company that provides cleaning services in multiple cities!

What is better for SEO? One big site containing content and SEO for all locations or several smaller websites each one dedicated to each particular location/city?

I think that the general rule is "more content = better SEO", that's why I would lean towards to a bigger site for all cities.
However, a more detailed website dedicated to one city offers more opportunities for SEO...specific keywords,specific tags,description etc

Let me hear your thoughts

One site for all locations (see pizza hut, mcdonald and other brands, they just have one site)
you can create new directory/sub domain for each location if you want

Yes i can promote and bring your all localise keywords per one website .Create more pages for your all localise keywords.put some relevant web page content there.

Note:Need Onpage optimization correctly, then start offpage work like blog,social bookmark ,etc.ect with SMO

You need this plugin serpshaker. it will get you ranking in days for the various cities

Hmmm i see your point! My objection however is that they all are BIIIIIIIIIIG brands... no need for much SEO...they can pay for whatever links and submissions they want

As for my cleaning services company...
I think that it could rank better if I created a smaller but better established site for each city!
You can add more specialised keywords/titles/B1 etc for each smaller website. Noooo?

I forgot to mention.... I repped each one who replied with a helping post and I really thank them :-)

As for you ajitav...thank you too mate...but I'm looking to learn something from the whole journey...I don't want something done for me...it isn't for the money involved...I just need to practice all things I learn each day in this awesome forum

I appreciate any help though. I hope that my questions and other members' replies will help newcomers to SEO too...

Thank you all

What he was trying to say to ya is if you build sub-domains for the localized keywords you are targeting with something like SerpShaker and add all the right modifiers it will increase your overall domain authority as you keep adding your targeted market areas. And cause you got it on a sub-domain you wont get with a duplicate content penalty if you use the same shaker pages and just keep changing the local modifiers.

you can optimize your pages for each location and how do you run your seo campaign,
Don't worry about specific keywords, you can rank easy if your site already have high authority domain

I think that I'm gonna buy this serp shaker...it seems to be a really powerful tool :-)

Gonna find more info tomorrow...

Pretty expensive though, isn't it?
