Ever create a directory of local businesses targeting a local keyword phrase through it?
- SEO |
In line with that, I have been thinking of ways to limit competition in various keyword niches and it dawned on me that one of the easiest ways to do that is to simply target keyword phrases that start with a particular city name.
Like for example...St. Paul Storage Self Service (I don't care about this phrase or city...might be great, might not be)
Or some such.
What I have noticed is that in cases like the aforementioned example a whole bunch of local business listings show up in Google.
So the first ten might be for local self storage places.
Now my question is, has anyone here had any success creating a directory of local businesses in a given category, targeting a local keyword phrase, and having the directory overtake the ranking of local businesses that stand by themselves in the SERP's?
In line with my example, creating a site that lists local self service storage places and giving each 2 pages to describe themselves and show their places through photos or whatever?
If you have done that, and successfully so, care to share some nuggets from your experience with the rest of us here?
I'd love to learn whatever I can from you.
Thanks.
