Should Franchises Have Separate URLs for Local SEO?
Yes, it is our recommendation to have separate URLs for each franchise location so we can optimize each one to be specific to that city. Separate URLs allow us to use location-based keywords in your content to improve visibility in local search, add structured data to help search engines understand the content on the page. When people search on Google they also expect to see hyper-local content, so ensuring you have that hyper-local page not only enhances online visibility, but also trust in the brand and conversions, whether they are online or offline.
