Where there is demand, there is search. Behind every searched keyword lies user demand. Today, the phrase “How to add regional SEO tags to a website” appeared in the bottom recommendations when searching SEO keywords. Regardless of whether it reflects normal user demand, this question clearly has search volume.

What is the starting point of website construction? At the very least, the site should be accessible to users in its niche segment. Most websites target high-index keywords in their industry, as high-index keywords mean greater traffic. However, SEO is not just about optimizing a few main keywords; it also requires ranking for a large number of long-tail keywords, such as regional keywords.

In some industries, user demand is limited by distance, so users tend to choose nearby services. Take aluminum art gates as an example. If a customer in Wuhan needs an aluminum art gate, in most cases they will choose a local ironwork factory in Wuhan — partly because the shorter distance is more convenient, and partly because aluminum art gates are general products with low technical content. From another perspective, since similar products of comparable quality are available everywhere, customers will not source from farther away.

Many industries have regional demand. Keywords reflecting such demand are regional keywords. For regional keywords to perform well on mobile devices, it is necessary to add appropriate SEO regional tags to the website.

1. How to add SEO regional tags:
a) Meta tag format:
The value of the name attribute is “location”.
The content format is: province=Beijing;city=Beijing;coord=116.306522891,40.0555055968.

– province: abbreviation of the province
– city: abbreviation of the city
– coord: geographic coordinates of the page content, using the BD09LL coordinate system.
If the page targets city-level information, fill in the city’s central coordinates.
If the page has a specific address, enter the coordinates of that address (available via Baidu Maps address parsing API).

Note: province and city cannot be empty.

b) Webmasters must place the meta tag inside the `` section of the page source code, as shown below:
