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?

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

are my YT keywords being ignored?

I have 3hr+ YT videos, so I chapter them out quite extensively. I've read in a couple places if I have too many keywords just grouped together they will all be ignored. Are my keywords being ignored...or are they even being crawled...through my chapters section? Also, is hashtagging in a chapter name good, bad, or not at all relevant? example chapters: Bookmarks: 0:00 Intro 4:25 Little Panda #littlepanda 13:04 Royale With Cheese Megaways #royalewithcheesemegaways 24:48 Big Bass Bonanza #bigbassbonanza 33:02 Book of Cats #bookofcats 44:11 Tractor Beam #tractorbeam submitted by /u/bauerwelson [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/3Gx8IPZ
