Geographic longtail keywords

    I've tried searching for the answer, but can't find exactly what I'm trying to do.

    Say I found a good long tail keyword. But even better would be to add a city to the beginning or end of the keyword. But obviously I can't type every major city in the U.S. in my keyword to research. So how would I find out what cities are best to add to the keyword? For example, " tampa teeth whitening dentist" might be an untapped micro niche but "houston teeth whitening dentist" might be a horrible keyword. But how would I find out which city would have the best results to add to my keyword?

    Am I making sense? LOL

    Also, what do you consider good monthly searches (like 4500/month +) and low competition (like less than 100K competitors) for newbies?

    Hi,
    If your business is tied to a geographical location then you should already be using your location in your SEO strategy.
    "teeth whitening dentist in houston" is good for your site.

    No, the business is not tied to a geographic location. The services can be offered anywhere. But I thought that people searching in their local area would include their city in their search. I just don't know how to research keywords which could have any city included with them.

    I'm in the same situation here, but I was wondering if anyone can shed light on whether I should target, for example, both the following, or will one take care of another, for example:
    "tampa bay dentist"
    "dentist tampa bay"
    Are these looked at by google as separate keywords?

    from my keyword research, google gives different search numbers for both of those keywords. so they're considered separate. check to see how many monthly searches they both have, if they're both worth it to target.
