    Hi everyone,

    I have a website which targets specific areas (counties and towns) in the UK. The problem I have is that each one of these pages are targeting the same services meaning the content found on each one of these geo pages are very similar.

    How do you think Google will react to these pages - will it see them as duplicate and only show 1 of them. I have tested how unique they are - currently 6%. I also have 3 different versions which I use in rotation meaning only 1 in 3 pages are similar if that makes sense.

    Any advice - what do you think?

    My recommendation will be to use unique text on these pages. If these are just landing pages for PPC campaign, you can probably set rel=canonical to one of the versions.

    That's Perfectly awlrite you just need to use different keywords for different geographical locations like if you are providing SEO services in California than use SEO services California that means you have to use more targeted keywords in each individual pages. Another Important thing is you need to put all these pages on the one single domain, you should not buy any other domain and put the content same in nature on other domain too.
