Hi Wes, about six weeks ago, I came up with and implemented this same strategy, and your new video has really validated the approach-thank you! I’ll be adding each page to my Google Business profile now as well. Thanks for the informative videos; they’ve been a huge help.
This is great content! I've used a lot of these strategies myself over the past couple of years,and I can say, this absolutely works! Just a quick question. Listing the business on directories such as Yelp, Bing etc. This is something I've always done. I strategy I didn't know was the part where you said about listing the individual service/location landing pages on these directory websites. Just curious on how that would work. If I've already listed a business on there and then try and do it again for a specific landing page, wouldn't it come up as that business already exists on there and not allow me to create a listing?
Love your content! Thank you. Would you recommend having relevant blog posts to support each of the Location based pages as well to make more use of internal linking?
The timing couldn't be better Wes! I was just about to start creating location pages for my gardening biz and have always struggled to rank for locations and GMB due to my service area being the main city, 40 miles away. Competitors that live in that city do rank better, even with crappy spammy websites 😤 This new strategy for GBP looks like fire 🔥 can't wait to get started 🙌
Wes, what’s your take on using location pages for different neighborhoods for a business that only services one city? Do you think it’s worth the time to do this? I’ve debated this because most people don’t search “service in neighborhood”, but google knows where the neighborhoods are I would assume. Wondering if google uses those keywords on its own if that makes sense?
Hi Wes, thanks for another great video. Question: Would this work for a service focused business (for example a legal firm)? Within GMB I can only do this for 'products', not 'services' so I wanted to confirm. Thanks again!
Question. I see many videos saying build service area and add a page for each surrounding city you want to target. Will you still do a page specifically for one service and city surrounding you. For example im a spa and offer many services, would i build service page and add each city with a page mentioning ally services , and then let's say i want to do laser hair removal page in surrounding city create that page as well, i hope that make sense
How do you present that with your tablet to the video? What kind of software or app are you using for your presentation to have your face on half and your tablet screen on the other with markups? Very well done Wes.
Hey Neil, SOME business categories don't have this unfortunately. You might try to test if another category would still be in line with what you offer and include those.
@@WesMcDowellInc Thanks - yes, this ties in with what I can see... it is primarily theatre tickets - selling at multiple venues across the UK (about 25) - trying to raise the profile of those 'venue landing pages'.
Please do a video about web layouts. Successful designs, content, and layout are heavily dependent on the type of business and the type of product or services you sell or provide as well as what content is required. This is where I'm struggling with my design. There must be some sort of template guide available.
well youd probbaly only show up on the business profile sidebar listing when they specfically search for your business name. hopefully youd show up for that regardless, otherwise its better to focus on old fashioned seo for organic (non-local) searches. backlinks, etc.
Your videos are so helpful, thank you! How would you tailor a digital agency website for say like "web design in Leeds/Harrogate/Manchester" etc? Ah, nevermind lol just finish the video 😂

Nice work Craig!
Wes first thing in the morning- absolutely! Let’s see what business gold you’re sharing now!
The earlier the better, right?!
This is pure gold. Thank you Wes! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is genious! It's very similar to what product companies are doing to target searches for their competitors!
This is great content! I've used a lot of these strategies myself over the past couple of years,and I can say, this absolutely works!

Amazing work and appreciate the download. Have you tried building this strategy out programmatically with templates or elementor? Thanks again.
Merci depuis la France ❤
I love the way you layout tutorials!! Thank you, it makes things so actionable and clear 🙂🤗 Much appreciated!!
You are so welcome!
Love your content! Thank you. Would you recommend having relevant blog posts to support each of the Location based pages as well to make more use of internal linking?
Hey Wes! Your videos are incredibly helpful-really appreciate all the hard work you put into them!

Get on it Simon, cheers!
Awesome thanks , loved the using the home page as the template step.

Great video! I’m starting my services company and this definitely helps me a lot. Thank you
Great to hear!
Thank you so much. I’ve developed the websites, FB etc but needed SEO info to rank. What basics or foundations do I start with?
I’d love to see you and Chris Palmer do a live stream together 😂 the dynamic would be entertaining
Im up for it!
thank you so much for this value
Hi Wes, thanks for another great video. Question: Would this work for a service focused business (for example a legal firm)? Within GMB I can only do this for 'products', not 'services' so I wanted to confirm. Thanks again!
Yes, you can do this using products, even though it seems counterintuitive. Cheers!
@@WesMcDowellInc Thanks so much for the quick response!!
Thanks, Wes. This is excellent.
Glad you enjoyed it Steve!
Great vid Wes! Do you recommend linking to these new location service pages on the home page, perhaps in a list towards the bottom of the page?
Yep, in the footer navigation. Cheers James!
@@WesMcDowellInc Perfect, many thanks!
Wow! Impressive...Thank You
Good content, as always
Great info. Does the speed at which this is done play a factor in ranking?
Not for any reason I can think of.
Question. I see many videos saying build service area and add a page for each surrounding city you want to target. Will you still do a page specifically for one service and city surrounding you.

Hi Wes
I have seen a lot of services promoting AI based SEO using AI software to rank no 1 - any thoughts on this?
How do you present that with your tablet to the video? What kind of software or app are you using for your presentation to have your face on half and your tablet screen on the other with markups? Very well done Wes.
all done after in editing. thx!
Hi Wes. Question please: What are some closely related keywords for structured cabling?
NO idea, not my area! Id use Chatgpt to help you with that.
It's worth noting that, depending on your business category, you may not be able to add a "Product" or "Service" to your GMB profile.
Very true.
Wes, Do you offer a course how to do UA-cam in that style like you? Things like how you script and prepare your videos
I do have a pretty thorough free masterclass on this topic: wesmcdowell.com/youtube
Hi Wes - in the video - at 11:45 - where can I find the @Add New product or Services'? As I cannot see that in my GMB.
Hey Neil, SOME business categories don't have this unfortunately. You might try to test if another category would still be in line with what you offer and include those.
@@WesMcDowellInc Thanks - yes, this ties in with what I can see... it is primarily theatre tickets - selling at multiple venues across the UK (about 25) - trying to raise the profile of those 'venue landing pages'.
Which iPad app you're using?
Awesome

check out my masterclass where I go over what you need on these pages and what you dont... wesmcdowell.com/training
@WesMcDowellInc thanks. Will definitely do this 👌
Hi. I can’t watch this as the language changed. I’ll have to research why it’s just this particular video.
Should service area pages be in the main navigation, or can they remain as orphan pages?
I'd probaly put them in footer nav. cheers!
If your business services are only online and serves all locations, how would one do to increase seo for the business profile? My guess is reviews 🤔
well youd probbaly only show up on the business profile sidebar listing when they specfically search for your business name. hopefully youd show up for that regardless, otherwise its better to focus on old fashioned seo for organic (non-local) searches. backlinks, etc.
@@WesMcDowellInc Thank you, hope you have a blessed day Sir! 🙏
the real challenge is that hardly anyone allows guest post unless you already have a fan base. Any pointers other than contact us page?
What do u mean other than contact page? My recommendation is to outsource link building.
By the link given in the description, I have entered my mail, but I didn't receive the mail.

Ha, did you get it?
@WesMcDowellInc I did, thank you!
Wow
What happened to your this video changing language voice over accounting to Country?
not sure! I didnt do it, must be a new Yt feature
Getting famous off comments day 1, so I can live the dream life🙏
