Local SEO question: is is worth building a blog around the topic?

Hey there,

I run a small local business (a type of medical consulting) and I am currently on google's second page for "keyword localtion". I set up "My Business" entirely and since I am one of only three competitors with actual reviews (currently 16 with 5 stars, only two have more) I regularly appear in the results above the organic results.

I was however wondering if it's worth hiring someone to write some basic blog-like articles (since I don't have the time) for keywords about my niche to "expand" the page from the two or three pages it has right now. I want to appear on the organic first page, for nothing more than "keyword location" - is this the way to go?

Usual "local SEO tips" focus on different local keywods, like "keyword location price" or "keyword location tips" but there aren't really any searches besides "keyword location" and it would seem kind of ridicoulus to set up sites for such keywords.

So, to clarify, an example:

Let's say I am a "toe nail consultant" in Philadelphia (I'm not ;-)), and people search for "toe nail consultant philadelphia". Is it smart to build a blog with topics like "toe nail sizes", "toe nail pain", "how to trim your toe nails" etc - even though I have neither chance nor interest to rank for these specific keywords (because I would compete with all the toe nail consultants worldwide).

Thanks in advance!

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

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
