If I were looking for a plumber I would simply type "plumber" then "Plumber near me" shows up so I would choose that option.

Some are telling me there is absolutely NO reason to use those words within my content or tags since google will automatically show all local listings first, is this accurate or not please?

If you are trying to rank in Google Maps, there is zero reason to add "near me".

I will prefer to do competitor analys first and I hope no one will be using this. that's why you don't need to put near me in the last. But you should target different KW.

Competitor analysis has nothing to do with it.

This is just for an idea to make sure, to add near me has no worth.

well according to me it is not compulsory to use "near me " what if you search something in your area then you can use this term. For example, An increasingly important feature for local search is "near me" searches, such as "doctor's office near me" or "coffee shop near me." To know more Just check out how Google Trends evaluates the search trend of the term "near me" for their search engine:

For example:

"Were you searching for 'electrician near me' ? Then you've come to the right place. We are your local electricians in city...."

You can avoid this keyword because Google automatically shows all local listings first. You can also read the "Google Pigeon Update". This topic will clear you about your question.

I advise that you use the keyword ''near me'' after all, your competitors are continuing to use it so why not you?

Its not compulsory to use the keyword "near me". You should go with the city name if you want to target the audience within your city. For Example - Plumbers in ABC. You can easily use that keyword in your content too.

This is not entirely true. If these words are key for your subject and website, then I recommend using them. But if the site does not need them, this is not necessary.

you should only do this in ppc adwords ads, which then you should use an ad modifier, location based, meaning you can actually insert the exact location (city or country or us state) in the ad dynamically.

No, you don't need to use near me. Google will do that part for you.

For example if your keyword was "plumber" and you were in the same or suburb near the searcher then if they type in plumber near me Google will know the searchers location and your location and include you in the SERP.

There is no need to add near me after your keyword as we all know Google will automatically show local listing first. Besides that, you have to work on local listings or target local audience to rank on such keywords.

And especially for titles, you could probably use those keywords for something optimized for your local area, such as the street or neighborhood, instead. ... That all said, if you want to optimize for "near me", then it doesn't hurt as long as you aren't sacrificing other more useful keywords.

There is no need to add near me keyword just focus on the details of your website business, optimize the pages for the users, so that Google will consider your business site page to provide in search results.

Unnecessary, unless you have disabled location tagging or something similar in which case you might have to be more specific such as ,"Plumbers near Gotham City."
