    I run a computer repair service and I would like to optimize separate pages for separate surrounding suburbs and the main city that I live in with is omaha nebraska. Omaha has about 5 suburbs outside of it that are much smaller and have much less competition.

    So i would like to rank highly for those suburbs first by using different specific optimized pages for each

    for example:

    www.website.com / omaha /
    www.website.com / suburb 1 /
    www.website.com / suburb 2 /
    www.website.com / suburb 3 /

    But I'm running into the problem of not being able to figure out how to avoid having duplicate content.

    I want to rank highly for each suburb and also eventually for the main city but that has more competition so I want to know how to avoid having duplicate content but still rank highly for each individual page. I want each to have its own rank for that particular area but I dont know how to do that without producing 5 or 6 multiples of the exact same page with just different address, so my main question is

    how to do this will out having a duplicate content issue. ?

    Any help would be appreciated

    thanks

    Make sure to include the city name and your address in the page title, but also write unique content for each page. It takes a little longer to write unique content for each page, but it can pay off. You can talk about how your business caters to each city differently, certain issues that are unique to each city, etc. Anything you can add that will be unique to each city and differentiate it from the other pages will help. Remember to write from the perspective of what users coming to that particular city page will want to know.

    Do some research into article spinning. You can easily avoid having duplicate content by writing something different for each of the pages comprising the same keywords for them on each page. And yes as Revium stated, city names and address is important. Further, depending on the distance between each location you might want to look into some local websites and start getting backlinks for those sites for each the pages you wish to promote.
