From the Local SEO Experts at One Sky Media

At One Sky Media, we understand that for many businesses, local SEO isn’t about ranking in just one city or for one keyword—it’s about showing up in dozens (or even hundreds) of searches across a wide range of geographic areas and search phrases.

If you’re looking for help ranking your business across multiple cities, counties, or regions on Google My Business and Google Search, here’s how we approach it—and why our method works.

🎯 We Start With What Google Wants: Relevance, Proximity, Authority

Google’s Local Search algorithm is driven by:

  • Relevance (How closely your website and GMB listing match the searcher’s query)

  • Proximity (Distance from the searcher)

  • Authority (Trust signals like reviews, backlinks, and listing accuracy)

We help guide you in strengthening all three across your target areas.

📍 Step 1: Strategic Keyword + Geotarget Research

We start by mapping every relevant search phrase you want to rank for and pairing it with your targeted locations.
Example:

  • “Towing company Chester County, PA”

  • “Emergency plumber Lancaster, PA”

  • “Gutter installation York, PA”

This ensures you’re targeting real search demand in every city, township, and county you serve.

🏗️ Step 2: Optimized Google My Business Profiles (For Each Service Area)

If you qualify for multiple Google Business Profiles, we’ll optimize them carefully, ensuring that:

  • Categories, services, and business descriptions match local searches.

  • NAP (Name, Address, Phone) are consistent across all locations.

  • Service areas are set up correctly for each GMB listing.

We’ll also optimize your product and service sections with search-friendly keywords.

📝 Step 3: Location-Optimized Website Content

Here’s where most businesses fall short.

We create highly focused website pages, blogs, and service area content written explicitly for:

  • Each city, county, or service area you target.

  • Every service or product you want to rank for.

This isn’t duplicate filler—it’s unique, meaningful content that answers what people are searching for in each location. Google loves it and will love your website if yours is the authority on your subject matter.

🔗 Step 4: Link Building & Local Citations

We build trusted backlinks and citations on reputable directories, news sites, and local resources, boosting your domain authority and location credibility.

This process helps improve both:

  • Your Google My Business rankings

  • Your organic search rankings

⭐ Step 5: Review Growth & Reputation Management

Customer reviews heavily influence local SEO. We help you:

  • Develop simple systems to gather more 5-star reviews.

  • Monitor and respond to reviews across locations.

  • Highlight top reviews in your SEO strategy.

📈 Step 6: Ongoing SEO Tracking & Adjustments

Ranking across multiple areas isn’t a “set it and forget it” job.
We continuously monitor:

  • Keyword rankings by location

  • GMB insights (calls, visits, direction requests)

  • Website traffic & conversions

This allows us to adjust your strategy as competition and search trends shift.
