Start with service and problem language
Build query families around what the business does, problems it solves, urgency, cost and location modifiers.
Check localized SERPs
National results can differ from the city or area you serve. KWFinder and SERPChecker currently support location-specific research, which is useful for seeing the actual local result mix.
Do not manufacture city pages
Create a local destination when the location changes the search intent, service relevance or user value—not simply because a keyword tool returns a city name.
