How to create location landing pages

What we will go through

  • What a location landing page is
  • What every location page needs
  • How to make each page truly local
  • How location pages connect to your profile

Short answer

A location landing page is a website page built for one branch or one area you serve. It should include the location's name, address or service area, phone, hours, map, services, local photos, reviews, and directions. Link each Google Business Profile to its matching location page so customers land on the right details.

What a location page is

A location landing page is a website page for one branch or one area you serve. A clinic with branches in Legazpi and Naga needs one page for each.

When someone taps Website on your Legazpi profile, they should land on the Legazpi page, not a general homepage.

What every location page needs

  • the location name in the title and main heading, like “Dental Clinic in Legazpi City”
  • full address, or service area for businesses that travel
  • phone number and hours for that location
  • an embedded map
  • services offered at that location
  • directions, parking, and nearby landmarks
  • local proof: photos of the branch, staff, and reviews from local customers
  • a clear call to action, like Call, Message, or Book

Make it truly local

A page that swaps only the city name is weak. Add details only that location has:

  • “Across from Pacific Mall, with free parking at the back”
  • the branch manager’s name and photo
  • projects done in that area
  • local FAQs, like “Do you serve Daraga?”

Connect it to your profile

Set each Google Business Profile’s website link to its matching location page. Keep the name, address, and phone on the page identical to the profile.

This consistency helps customers and Google trust both. Lesson 4.7 covers it in detail.

Quick quiz

1. Where should a Legazpi branch profile link?
2. Which detail makes a page truly local?
3. What is local proof?

Common mistakes

  • Swapping only the city name. Add real local details.
  • Linking all profiles to the homepage. Use matching location pages.
  • Missing a call to action. Make the next step obvious.

Questions beginners ask

Do I need a location page if I have one branch?

Your homepage or contact page can serve that role. Location pages matter most when you have several branches or service areas.

Can service-area businesses have location pages?

Yes, for areas they truly serve, as long as each page has real local content.

How long should a location page be?

Long enough to answer customer questions. Usefulness matters more than word count.
