Location-based landing pages are web pages specifically designed to provide detailed information to users about a specific location. This can be applicable to retail stores, offices, bank branches, or locations for physicians.
Location landing pages are an effective marketing tool when properly used in combination locator software. They serve a primary purpose of providing a canonical resource that contains all available information regarding a specific location. Commonly, a location landing page will feature search-engine-optimized content that includes brand and product keywords alongside local signals. This combination elevates results with brand and service keywords in searches with local intent, such as “window installation near me”, or “trampoline park near 53211” . These details are typically address and contact information for the specific location, directions, hours of operation, reviews and testimonials and photos and videos.
Consistent branding across pages is an important aspect when brands utilize location based landing pages. Each landing page features unique information, but it should keep the branding elements consistent to ensure that customers recognize the business and also raise brand awareness.
A location landing page in tandem with locator software can create a significant search engine optimization advantage for a business in localized markets. The landing pages give businesses the ability to cater specific marketing messages to specific locations, allowing them to communicate to a specific region and enhance the experience for customers in that area. Providing accurate and relevant local information to potential nearby customers also increases the likelihood of conversion.
In locators with indirect 3rd-party results, such as installers, dealers or other contractors, brand strategists can leverage location pages to improve and unify search engine results for prospective customers. Controlling the customer experience from the very first search reinforces the brand image while ensuring leads are delivered to preferred dealers in a trackable way.
One benefit of location-based landing pages is that they are a cost-effective marketing strategy. They allow businesses to focus on targeted marketing for a specific location without having to fund and create broad, national advertising campaigns.
Another advantage of location based landing pages is the ability for a business to track the analytics and performance of these specific pages. This allows businesses to track the performance of their individual locations. This data can provide business insights as well as user behavior and engagement for specific locations.
