How do you get multiple service pages to load with basically the same content on each page without getting hit for duplicate and being penalized? So you have the code telling it to load containers of info that it can index without duplicate? I've learned you can do whatever works with Google until it doesn't. Google Gemini AI says this is not the best way to do it. But if it works, it works. Just seems like it shouldn't work according to them. Dynamically loading city name seems better but that's advanced coding.
I managed to build a collection of elementor templates with a custom field which I feed the location into, and then dynamically placed inside the templates content
Hi Tristan, this is Marco from Italy, great video. I kindly ask you, if I charge a customer for traffic for one city but the customer operates in multiple cities what price to do? Full price for each city or discounted price for multiple cities? Another important thing, if the site deals with offers, should each page have the word offers + service + city or just service + city? I am waiting for your advice and thank you.
Great video but how is this done please? How do I create a location page and get google to index it? Do you create a separate site map for each specific location page?
We don’t create a sitemap per page, put global sitemap xml file auto updates and feeds into Google search console. We simply create a service page with the location modifier (eg web design London) and then make sure the page is internally linked to somewhere on the website so Google can crawl and find it.
A very informative video. Would like to do the same for my business. One question I have, you mentioned that we do not need to create a GMB listin for other locations, then how does Google know that we are located in that area? A request I have, can you send me a link to one of your local SEO pages for learning purposes? I am in finance broking business, so I will not copy it. Many thanks.
Thank you for this video; it was very helpful. Are you using the backlinks on the homepage, or are you focusing on the local pages for each location????????????????????????????????????⚠⁉
Dont overdo it or youll get a penalty. When enough reports stack up on your sitemap its over and your domain will be tarnished. There are workarounds but require effort.
If GMB needs a physical location - but you’re not there - could you use a generic location in those cities so you have a GMB page as well for all of these locations? Like a post office address? I wonder…
Awesome! Thank you for sharing. So this actually works. So your main website has over 100 of pages SEO for different location? Is your WP site huge and burdensome?
Nope it’s actually fine. I’ve built out custom post types for each service and each page is a location. Works well and easy for us to manage through content templates.
@@tristanparker May I ask Tristan, you never got called for by Google that you made duplicate content on your website by using this "multiple location" SEO strategy? Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for this video Tristan. Really helpful. Can you create a video on how to get seo and web design clients with google ads? My business is brand new and you know seo takes time. I wanna close few clients with google ads. I would be very thankful for this favour. Thanks
Are your ranks still good? I've seen a competitor do this, basically cloning hundreds of pages and it's number 1 without any GMB. But how long they will last, time will tell.
I was there when doorway pages were named doorway pages. These are not doorway pages. This is basic local webpage optimization. Furthermore it was Yahoo back in the 90s who stated doorway pages wouldn't be indexed, until State Farm launched their website, with a doorway page.
Hello sir, my business is Travel Agency in Mumbai, India. I want to rank multiple locations so how can I do for this??? Q2 How can I design my Travel agency website so it's help GMB to rank in the multiple locations??? Waiting for your reply????
you need unique content for each area, stupid i know, but its what google requires - if you don't then your website is built on very poor foundations and its only a matter of time before you're penalised for duplicate content, i've learned this the hard way!
Careful posting this. I've nuked my competitor that did this for almost every city in Belgium by spamreporting his pages on multiple smurfs. His traffic drowned from 170K to 6K. It is still against Tos / Policy for keyword stuffing/spam.
Thank you so much, you have no idea how much this has helped me.
You’re welcome!!

Hello Tristan can you please tag the video were you were duplicating the pages for the SEO
Exactly what I needed for my agency
hey great video but how can i build an automation that will find and replace so many states we have

Hi! Are your rankings still holding up? Thinking of doing this but worried the latest Google content update could hurt.
Man, that's absolutely sick! No limits on how much revenue you can generate over the years with this trick👍👏

I do the same, but I change the context of each page with Chatgpt, and it works. I don't know about having the same exactly writing on all the pages.

Mostly the homepage. It helps build the domain authority of the overall website
So how to do that? How to tag the location? Do you have a video explaining it?
Any update on conversion rate? We’ve been ranking for multiple cities and trying to improve CR.

Well yea thats one thing, but whats bugging me, lets say u want client from europe, you need to write in french for france, same for spain, norway ..
For different languages, need different sub directories, subdomains
If GMB needs a physical location - but you’re not there - could you use a generic location in those cities so you have a GMB page as well for all of these locations? Like a post office address? I wonder…
No, Google doesn’t allow that. So my understanding is, it’s not possible with GMB
Google will send a letter including a PIN that you'll need for GMB.
So, unless you're best friends with the staff, this won't work.
Can we build backlinks on city pages? Or do we just do it on our main home page?
following
A healthy backlink profile is diverse, so make sure you link to more than just the homepage.
Get your highest traffic pages to be referenced more to on your lower traffic city pages. Inner linking hierarchy matters.
Gonna try, thanks
Are your ranking still holding? I have clients for whom I have done this same thing and their pages are being de-indexed.
So far rankings appear to be holding ok, but thank you for raising this. I will keep a closer eye 👁️

Lol. You have a lot to learn

Six figures profit. Cheers mate.

Yeah they’re still there, but you are correct, I’m also curious to see how long it lasts
Great video. Any possibility of discussing this with you?
Careful. Manual penalty can wreck you.
I understand what it is but not how to do it.
This is a bad idea and it's against Google guidelines. It's called "Doorway pages".
I was there when doorway pages were named doorway pages. These are not doorway pages. This is basic local webpage optimization.
Furthermore it was Yahoo back in the 90s who stated doorway pages wouldn't be indexed, until State Farm launched their website, with a doorway page.
That's why you need unique content per area

I'm thinking, watch the video. If that doesn't work hire him.
For gmb, need physical locations
i used to do this until someone told me duplicate pages are bad. so i deleted them. it used to work well for me. Wish i didn't listen to them
subbed
Appreciated.
