Local Business SEO for Multiple Locations

If you have a business with multiple locations then All in One SEO can help you get those locations listed in local search results.

Our Local Business SEO add-on outputs code known as Schema.org structured data markup that provides search engines with detailed information about your business’s locations.

Search engines may use this code to display rich results that may include information such as your address, phone and email contact information, opening hours, as well as other useful information.

The first setting is Locations Permalink. Here you can view the permalink format that All in One SEO will use for your locations.

If you want to customize the Locations Permalink, check the Use custom slug check box and a field will be displayed where you can enter your own slug that will replace the word location in the Locations Permalink.

If you want to customize the Locations Category Permalink, check the Use custom category slug check box and a field will be displayed where you can enter your own slug that will replace the word locations-category in the Locations Category Permalink.

Next, you’ll see the Enhanced Search setting. If this is set to No, then your locations will not appear in search results on your site.

If you set this to Yes, then your locations will be included in search results on your site and an additional setting will be displayed for Enhanced Search – Excerpt.
