What is Local Keywords
Local keywords are search terms that include location modifiers (city, neighborhood, 'near me') or have implicit local intent. They're essential for businesses targeting customers in specific geographic areas.
Example
'plumber in Brooklyn', 'best coffee shop downtown Seattle', 'dentist near me', '24-hour pharmacy Chicago'
How to apply it
Research local search volume, include city/neighborhood names in content, create location-specific landing pages, optimize for 'near me' queries, use location in title tags.
Tip:Don't just add city names randomly. Create genuinely useful local content that mentions neighborhoods, landmarks, and local references naturally.
