Does anyone have a good resource for local SEO content articles?

I would prefer pre spun but am interested in anything.

Subjects like

Lawyers
Plumber
Dentists
Chiropractors
Etc.

Seems like a lot off the resources I use don't have content available for local seo work.

Thanks

    You'll probably want to hire an SEO writer. Start here, place a test order, go with whoever delivers results:

      The content itself can often be location specific, so picking a writer from the immediate area can prove beneficial. Example: I'm a 25 minute drive from Disney World, and go there multiple times per month. If Disney wanted to do local SEO (like they'd need it :rolleyes they'd be better off hiring me with my extensive knowledge over Bob Wannabe who went to Disney that one time in the 90s and stayed in the hotel room because the shrimp gave him the runs.

        The words "pre-spun content" in the OP probably belie the need for any kind of knowledge whatsoever. Keyword loaded drivel for mass broadcast isn't meant to be read by humans, so your local knowledge would be wasted.

        As for Bob, anyone who buys shrimp cocktail from a vending machine at the bus station deserves what they get...

      Please don't buy "prespun" articles and don't buy existing articles and just plug your keyword in.

      Here's a very important point you need to remember: That article that you're just using for SEO is going to be read by a human being at the end of the process.

      Isn't that the entire purpose of using articles for SEO? To rank them so that people will click on the links in the search results and then read them?

      If you put up a crappy spun article, you might, might, get ranked, and you might, might, get someone to read it. But then what?

      When the person who's looking for a lawyer or a plumber or a mechanic or whatever it may be actually reads the article and sees how junky it is, why would they choose to pick up the phone or send an email?

      On the other hand, if you use high quality, purpose written articles, you'll still have as good a chance (or likely better) at getting ranked, but when the potential customer reads the material, they'll be far more likely to take action.

      Seriously, try to focus on the end user and not just the rankings. SEO is just part of the process. It isn't the be all and end all. Any positive SEO results you get from junk spun articles will probably be a) temporary and b) negated when the customer clicks away from the junk content.

      The suggestion to look for a local writer is a good one if the topics being written on actually require specific local knowledge. If they're just general topics, there are hundreds of writers available here in the Warriors for Hire forum.

      Go the extra mile and get some good content put together. It'll pay off in the end.

    And so many people wonder why Panda and Penguin hit them :rolleyes:

    Hit up the For Hire section of this forum to hire a writer. Your words "pre-spun" makes me believe you're either,

    A: Going to spin them.
    B: Looking for cheap and quick content.

    If I would choose, I will hire a SEO writer at fiverr rather than get an article on the web and spin it using The Best Spinner. Because of Penguin Update many website been hit and now creating new and original content on their websites.
