Love you Pat! Could you do a video on buying backlinks the right way?

[alantate]

⁠ Hey Pat had a question, I noticed that on one of your sites you showed Rella elec, that you had a services section with no city on those pages but had a Areas we serve page with cities on them

But then on another site you said you did, Ace comfort, there was no areas we serve drop down and for the service pages you had the cities there.

Can you explain when you should do one site over the other? I thought you were supposed to do an Areas we serve page all the time

In what situations is this not the way to go?

⭐️and I thought for the home page you’re not supposed to put your city in the h1 because it’ll mess with the other pages. Is this not correct? I heard this from a few different places but it looks like on both of your home pages you include the location


Thanks for your help!

Very informative and straightforward video, easy to follow. Keep up the great work mate.

[abubakkarsiddikSEO]

Thank you for the awesome, and straightforward video. You got a new subscriber.

Q: if I embed the 2 maps within a toggle or accordian, will it have the same effect?

[annieberzanski]

Great video. I have a question. Once you have all of your local city pages, where should they link to? Should you make it where a user could get to it from the navigation? Or is this fine to just be used for SEO to that city, and it is never in the navigation?

[markballiet]

Amazing content as always Pat - appreciate it brother

[justbenx]

Come back to YouTube bro 🙏🙏

you’re the reason I started SEO, hope to see some more content soon

[EfrainAvelar]

Hey Pat nice content very valuable as well ? which web hosting provider do you use for all your sites if i may ask.

[JP-ggog]

Great video. If one County encompasses our entire service location do you recommend still doing individual main cities? Thank you!

[juliamarsh]

Great information thank you. Do you happen to have a video about planning out a WordPress site for a local service site (gardening) that serves multiple locations and offers multiple services in each one? I am still stumbling around trying to work out if I should use categories, how to arrange the menus and how to link it all internally.

[MarkCarillon]

Awesome details re local page optimization

[Jeanpierre.michael]

Do you create the same page over and over for each location around your client? What radius?

[shaik]

Thanks Pat, this is very helpful. One question - We have a customer with offices in 5 different locations. We created 5 different pages (1 per each location) and linked them from home page. Is there a better way to optimize it? Also, do you have any suggestions/steps for such multi-location business also? If yes, pls share. Thanks!

[romanialive]

Any template u use for these location pages? Can you share? Thanks man

[abdulmateen]

Thanks for the video brother. Do you use Local Service Ads for your clients? What's your experience with it? i.e. pros, cons, tips. Thanks. 😊

[luiscastilloiii]

Hi Pat, REALLY great content! We are Life Insurance agents with licenses in 22 States. We want to build out Texas first with the information you are gracious enough to share. However, we do not have a brick and mortar business. We do all of our business 100% remotely. It occurs to me that most of what you're teaching would still apply, except for the Google mapping. Any ideas as to how we can overcome that? Any information is greatly appreciated.

[ManiGarg]

Could you please make a step by step video about what steps do you follow when you start working for a new local client? Competition analysis, making seo plan, timeline etc? This would be really helpful.

[magaamir]

❓Hey Pat, I have been trying to work with you guys but no one responds to emails or phonecalls 🙁

[Jay-syyf]

Why don't you talk about what REALLY works - manipulation of engagement markers?
