Why are people putting all of their effort into becoming #1 for SEO Leeds? I remember a post by Dave Naylor saying to an upstart who was gaming their way to the #1 spot for UK SEO (Daves throw-away term) that in terms of traffic and conversions its a non starter.
A couple of Leeds based SEO agencies are plugging away at the term… but for what?
Ive added the term SEO Leeds into the title of the blog and i hold a top 5 spot and the traffic is under 50 unique hits per month… I don’t get it.
I guess its just an image thing. A selling point to Leeds clients if you’re SEO company is based in Leeds etc IMHO
What would you be aiming for? People have to find , granted not much search traffic but a % of 50 possible new customers is still new business
If I was considering using the services of a specific Leeds based seo company, I would be interested to see where they rank for the search term ‘seo Leeds’. Just in the same way I always look at the link popularity of a website belonging to any company cold-calling me offering a link building service.
Wouldn’t you rather they show you examples of their clients that they have ranked successfully? Isn’t that more important?
Sure there may be less traffic coming through that keyword, but isn’t it a more targeted market? Is the conversion rate (relatively speaking) higher on a keyword like that compared to just ‘SEO’?
Mark…what ya reckon?
The irony is that i now rank #2 for seo leeds lol.
can confidently say that theres few leads to be had here.
Love it – quite the comment thread – and red sticking it to ya!
heck if G themselves are converting to a localised UI there must be something in it.. although i now google link building leeds… and see big BC in top spot… i ponder – but do love my pos 1 opponent herein

It seems there are a few good SEO agencies in Leeds and a little bit of traffic coming from actual potential customers for the phases Leeds SEO / SEO Leeds
Hi Mark… really? Ive been top of this serp with a commercial site and didnt get many enquiries
NO not really it’s all from SEO folk, checking there rankings every 2 mins. Which as we all know, checking your rankings every 5 seconds is the fastest way of moving up the search results :-)
