    All,

    My client is providing services in Melbourne, Sydney and near suburbs (small cities). I have created his website listing in Google local on both Sydney and Melbourne addresses. He has two different offices in Sydney and Melbourne.

    I want to know how can I promote or create the listings of other suburbs (small cities). There more than 30 suburbs near Sydney and Melbourne.

    I am thinking to create all suburbs listings with different PO Box numbers with same company URL and same Phone number (For verification).

    Please guide me the way to promote all the suburbs, so that when any one can search the particular service with suburbs then my client website will display on Google local results, like the example keyword is “electrician (Service) in Liverpool (suburbs)”

    Thanks in Advance,
    Rock:)

    I think you can make separate pages for each of suburb and post them on google

    Nope you can't just do separate landing pages and you can only have one listing per REAL physical address.
    You can't use PO boxes any more. You may get away with it for a little while but if you get caught you'll get flagged, dropped or de-ranked.

    If it's a service business that always goes OUT to service clients then you can use the new service area feature and select an
    entire region that the business services including nearby cities.

    Here's how to do it.

    Hope this helps and best of luck!

    The Rock,

    I believe that to have multiple Google Local Entry Place Pages you must have separate physical addresses.

    Creating subdomains will be a viable option...So google will treat it as different url...

    Hello Rock,
    i dont think you need to create sub-domains..it will be done because you have two different addresses.........yeah you can create it with same domain and Phone number.
