Does anyone recommend a good tutorial on map stacking?

Does anyone recommend a good tutorial on map stacking?I have a small service based business and a site that ranks great on map pack and in organic for about a dozen cities for short tail keywords but since opening a second location in another coty 1500 miles away it’s been a challenge to rank as quick as I did 10+ years ago, obviously.I’ve also noticed that some of my content has been crawled but not indexed and I believe it’s due to duplicate content but it’s a bit tough to write extensively on junk removal services page after page without repetition.Also started adding historical facts linked to wiki and other credible sites for each location page I’m targeting to mix with the inevitable duplicate content.Any insight would be greatly appreciated.*It’s only been 3 months with the new site and location with approximately 35 pages.

  • Tim Capper: Map Stacking has been disproved countless times - looks pretty but worthless.Your initial one is probably working well because the entire site was geared towards those areas.Now you have a second location - much further away - just bolting it into the site wont really work.Your 2nd location should have it own structure (url) on site which would include your services and supporting content.In my experience.
  • Brett Sullivan: Tim Capper Oh OK thank you for the information.If map stacking isn’t proven then I won’t waste anymore time on it.I’ve already left Geo tagging pictures a while ago because it wasn’t doing anything.I do have a separate URL for the second location.For example: city.website.comMy second location is in a larger city, with over double the population and is pretty saturated with competition.
