Do Service Area Pages Still Work for Trades?

Town pages work when they are useful. They fail when they are the same paragraph with the place name swapped.

Only build pages for areas you cover

If you would not drive there for a survey, the page has no business existing.

Make each one specific

Local housing stock, typical jobs in that area, travel times, and where possible a project you have completed nearby.

Link them sensibly

Each town page should link to the relevant service pages and back to a hub, so both customers and Google can navigate.

Fewer, better pages win

Twenty genuinely useful town pages beat two hundred thin ones, and carry far less risk.
