Multi-location SEOcompounds fast, done right, each location boosts the others. Done wrong, you cannibalize yourself.

The 5-part framework

  • 1. Dedicated location pages, one per physical location
  • 2. Unique content per location, not templated
  • 3. Google Business Profile per location, all verified
  • 4. Store locator with schema markup
  • 5. Local link buildingper market

What kills multi-location SEO

  • Identical templated location pages (doorway penalty)
  • Inconsistent NAP (name/address/phone) across citations
  • Competing against your own locations with bad internal linking
