    Hi!
    Should i include the cityname in the url for local seo?
    My keywords are massage and the city.
    Is this structure good for the different massage treatments?
    lymphmassage-massage-city
    rosenmethod-massage-city

    Using exact keywords in domain is not considered as ranking factor now days. But you can use city names in url structure for particulate city page for local seo.

    Thanks guys!
    But im still a bit confused. What should i use in the url?

    should i include my first and second keywords aswell or is it overkill:
    massage city
    massagetherapy city

    Lets say we are on lymphmassage. How should the proper url look like?
    lymphmassage-massage-massagetherapy-city

    And how about the other pages, book time, price, contact etc. Should they also include the keywords in the url?

    Your URL structure is not just for the benefit of search engines, but also for the benefit of anybody looking at the URL. That said, URLs should be descriptive and not too long. How about this:

    lymph-massage-city

    As "lymph massage" is two separate words, I do not see the point of concatenating them. The word "therapy" I do not think is needed (and possibly the word "massage" may not be needed) if you have the keyword located somewhere on the web page.

    lymph-massage-boston-massachussets or

    lymph-massage-london

    Looking at the URL, anybody can tell right away what the page is about. Right?
