  Digital Spark Marketing: I have a local SEO question. I run a small business from a small Florida town that draws customers from a region of 5-6 small towns within a radius of 20 miles. To optimize my local SEO, I include a comment:
  
  Supporting northern XXX county including the towns of 1,2,3,4 and 5.
  
  On the bottom of each webpage.
  
  Is this the most effective way to deal with local search in these 5-6 towns?
  
  Other suggestions? ;

  I M SEO GUY: Hope you have also targeted the right country in Google webmaster tools. ;Get your business listed in google maps. Use your phone number in the header and address in the footer, or both in the footer.

  Blade S: The best way is to create one optimized page for each location. By doing this you can make use of some important on-page elements, like targeted keywords, titles, H1s, etc.
  
  Note that the content must be unique on every page, even though it can be a bit hard since you offer the same services.
