The Multi-Location SEO Playbook: Scaling Without Thin Content
80/20 content rule
80% of each location page is templated (service descriptions, FAQs). 20% is unique to that location (photos, reviews, staff, local content).
Local reviews are free uniqueness
Embed live Google reviews on each location page. Different reviews on different pages = unique content without writing it.
Centralized updates
Service descriptions change centrally. Local content stays editable by location managers. Most brands over-index on central control and under-invest in local voice.
