SEO Brief Template for Trade Location Pages

Location pages exist to rank for "{service} {city}" or "{service} near {neighborhood}" — combinations the homepage and service pages can't hit alone. Done well, they're a force multiplier; done poorly, they're thin pages that read like spun content.

A typical location page targets one secondary city or neighborhood inside the service area. The honest version of this page demonstrates the business actually serves that city — local landmarks, neighborhood-specific service notes (older homes need different work than new builds), local response times.

The brief enforces specificity: each location page should reference real local context, not just be "the homepage with the city name swapped". Otherwise Google and users notice.

Why this template matters

Location pages are an SEO surface that's easy to abuse and hard to do well. The brief's structure forces concrete, location-anchored content — neighborhood facts, nearby projects, response time from the closest dispatch — which is what makes the page rank durably and convert.
