What is Local Landing Page?
A dedicated page per served location with unique proof: staff, photos, local reviews, area specifics. Template-swapped city pages with no local substance are doorway pages.

Geo-Modifier
A location word added to a query ("plumber austin"). Location pages and profiles must mirror the modifiers searchers actually use, not internal district names.
Doorway Page
Thin pages built to rank for specific queries and funnel visitors elsewhere. A long-standing spam category: serve the query on the page itself or consolidate into one genuine destination.
Service Area Business
A business serving customers at their locations without a storefront (plumbers, tutors). Hide the address, define service areas precisely, and lean on reviews and location pages.
Google Business Profile (GBP)
The free listing controlling how a business appears in Maps and local results: hours, categories, photos, reviews, posts. Complete and active profiles outrank neglected ones.
Local Pack
The three-business map block atop local results. Pack membership runs on proximity plus profile strength, so track it separately from organic positions.
NAP Consistency
Matching Name, Address, and Phone data across listings, citations, and the site. Inconsistencies confuse entity resolution and suppress local confidence.
