Should I Change URL Structure or No?

Hello all,
This is sort of a poll. I have my business website and we have a few different services.

Our service URLs are like this /services/service-name/ (ie. /services/window-washing/).

There is a particular service for which we didn't use just the name as the URL, but rather a whole keyword we were targeting like "service-name-company" (ie. /services/window-cleaning-company/).

Last year we got hit really bad and now we're making some big changes. As part of those big changes, we want to get rid of /services/ from the URL and also update some service names.

Ideally, we would want to change /services/window-cleaning-company/ to just /window-cleaning/. And then redirect the old URL to the new one.

Here is the issue -- that one specific page is actually ranking pretty well AND has received several good backlinks.

Would you change it? Or would you keep a random odd looking service URL for that one specifically?

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

GMB territory inching with service company

Seeking advice on extending our service area, while our main GMB profile states SD County, we only rank in our neighborhood but we have the team to service much more jobs. The boss wants us to get addresses in these hot territories within the county and use call rail numbers to validate the GMB profile. Question: Does this still work? Will it catch up with us? OR is there a better way to rank in a territory for a service. We are 4.9 stars with 120+ reviews submitted by /u/SoCal619TradesPro [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/9RWmh6i
