Action Steps:
- The action steps for today are to decide if City Pages are right for you.
- If you are ranking on the first page in maps for the area right around your office, look to see how you are ranking. Type in Practice Area / City Name (i.e. Estate Planning Attorney, Cincinnati Ohio).
- Look at the competition and identify which areas containing your ideal client would be the easiest to rank for (refer back to our SEO series about looking at the competition).
- Get a baseline of your traffic from your Google Analytics and look at Search Console for the impressions by keywords.
- Create one or two unique city pages with FAQs and Schema makeup and link to them from your main practice area pages.
- After 3 months, look at your Google Analytics and impressions by keywords. If you are seeing some success, rinse and repeat on more cities every 3 months.
