Advice for website of Live Sound Production client who is opening a Recording Studio

I have a client who does Live Sound Production for venues, touring with various acts across the country. Currently, most of their jobs come through networking and applying for open positions. Because of this, SEO did not yet seem to be a worthy investment. In 2020, I built their very simple wordpress website, basically a business card / resume / contact form / lost and found.

When we began working together, the owner had already purchased their domain name: LastNameIndustriesLLC.com. The last name is a common noun that vaguely, but not specifically enough suits his industry.

Now they are opening a recording studio with a new, different name in a commercial space in a highly competitive music city - Nashville. We are planning to build a page for the Recording Studio and add a section on the homepage. But I don't feel that is enough to give this brand new studio any kind of hope for ranking. SEO is definitely important now.

Of course, these are not all of the questions I should be asking, but please give me some advice to get me thinking about this project.

  1. Should the company purchase a domain name specific to the name of the new studio, and build a separate website for it?
  2. Or... Would a subdomain, such as RecordingStudio.LastNameIndustriesLLC.com, have the same benefit without building a separate website?
  3. Should I build location pages for their region? Is this something current SEOs actually do for their clients? How many location pages is appropriate?
  4. What can a new business in a competitive area/industry do to begin ranking as soon as possible?
  5. Should they start writing blogs about their work? Social media? Updating directories regularly?

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...
