How to Structure Location Pages for Multi-Area Coverage
Location pages help businesses rank in multiple regions. In 2025, well-structured location pages also increase the chances of being cited in AI overviews for local intent searches.
TL;DR
- Create a dedicated page for each location served.
- Include service details, local context, and FAQs.
- Use consistent structure to scale across multiple areas.
- Interlink service and location pages for authority and AI visibility.
Why Location Pages Matter
AI-driven search engines often answer location-based queries directly. Without structured location pages, your business may not be cited for local intent searches.
Step 1: One Page Per Location
- Each city, region, or neighborhood gets its own page.
- Example:
/locations/toronto
/locations/montreal
/locations/vancouver
This ensures specific local targeting.
Step 2: Include Core Service Details
- Outline the main services available in that location.
- Add links back to service pages for depth.
- Keep content unique — avoid copy-paste across locations.
Step 3: Add Local Context
- Include city-specific examples, testimonials, or case studies.
- Add maps, business hours, and contact details.
- Use local landmarks or community references to improve relevance.
Step 4: Incorporate FAQs
- Answer location-specific questions:
- “Do you offer emergency plumbing in Toronto?”
- “What’s your service area radius in Montreal?”
- Use FAQ schema for AI overviews.
Step 5: Internal Linking
- Link location pages back to main service pages.
- Connect related locations together (e.g., nearby suburbs).
- Ensure every location is discoverable within 3 clicks from the homepage.
Best Practices
- Use a consistent URL structure for all locations.
- Avoid thin content — add real, unique details.
- Optimize for geo-modified queries like “dentist in Toronto.”
- Refresh content with new reviews, case studies, or local news.
