Local SEO is targeting other cities with same names

I have a legacy client that we still do monthly blog posts + a few social media posts a month. The client cleaning service with a 10 mi service radius. Once a year, the client becomes frustrated that calls are coming in from out of state.

  1. GMB lists services areas within this 10 mi radius.
  2. Every page mentions the state (browser title, content, & footer)
  3. They're on Yelp and several local directories
  4. Google is the top traffic source for states outside our state

Within the 10 mi radius - 2 cities have the same name as 1 other city in US, 1 city has the same name as 13 other cities, 1 city with same name as 6 cities, 1 city with 23 other cities. We're targeting 3 other cities/towns without cities with the same name.

We've recommended updating the way they answer the phone with what's your zip code, but she doesn't want to do that.

Any ideas on how to update her local SEO to increase the calls locally vs. nationally?

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank? Thanks all! submitted by /u/runtmc2 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/31dJ82b

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
