Hi guys, first of all this is my first post and I'm happy to join the community. :)

My question is related to an on page SEO using the city name.

Suppose we wish to rank on example keywords "used cars london". This is the main keyword in the local trade and we are building a page for this unique phrase.

My question is: should we use the whole keyword "used cars london" even if this is wrong in English or we should use "used cars" then precise often that we are talking about London?

I'm making a page about <actual keywords> in London and I want to rank high on "round widgets london" keyword. If write "round widgets London", any keyword density tool approve this as a normal keyword, even if this is grammatically incorrect. But if I start to write the sentences in plain human English, I lose immediately this 3 words keyword and have only "round widgets" in different variants plus "London" in different variants.

What do you guys recon would be the best (and SEO legal) method to have a location name within keywords? What would Google read and how it ranks similar situations? Should I write in plain and correct language and precise that my location is "London" or could I write incorrectly hoping that as Google doesn't count the stop words my page can still rank well?

Many thanks for help.

I don't know that this will help with your SEO goals, but it's possible to have those words very close together, and still seem reasonably natural.

  • "While our expertise is broadly applicable, we focus on round widgets...London based sales are especially in our wheelhouse"

  • "Poll: How did you find us? a) Yellow pages b) Google search for "round widgets London" c) Other google search d) Other"

  • "Looking for round widgets? London based widget buyers have trusted us for over 20 years"
