Wirenut Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I've noticed that in Google My Business when setting the area that you service it will allow you to enter a city twice. If you enter it by typing the city name it includes the county and state. If you enter the zip code it shows the city, state, and zip. Has anyone noticed this? Would it be beneficial to enter each city in both ways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Friedman Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I have never played around to see if there is a difference by entering both. I doubt it. I always just used the zip codes. Felt it was more specific. Wirenut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Doing it both ways makes sense to me because it allows you to go local by county or zip code. It couldn't hurt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wirenut Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 It allows me to enter a city the normal way. Then if I enter it by zip code and the city has multiple zip codes it allows me to enter each zip code as well. So for example it could do the following for the same town: Clifton, Passaic County, New Jersey Clifton, New Jersey, 07070 Clifton, New Jersey, 07071 Clifton, New Jersey, 07072 Clifton, New Jersey, 07073 Would doing this be considered optimizing or spammy?

Not spammy at all. They are different areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
