Advertising (via website, search engines) Computer Repair in surrounding towns

[RocklandCompRepair]

I have had my website up for a little over a year now and I am curious to know if anyone has taken any successful steps to advertising computer repair services (via your website, search engines) in the cities next to the one you are based in. Obviously it's easier to get into Google under the city that you are based in because that is the address listed on your website, but what is the best way to have people find you when they are searching for computer repair in the next town over from you?

I already have separate pages on my website for the towns around me talking specifically about the services I provide to that specific town. The titles of the pages have Computer repair in the name of the town and the zip code.

Any other ideas of what can be done? There are very few places that compete with me (online) and I feel like this should be a fairly easy task.

Make sure you've SEO'd those area pages to the max. Do your title and description meta tags include the keywords? Are the keywords in the URL somewhere? Do you have any images on the page with "alt" tags that contain the keywords? Of course you want to avoid keyword-stuffing by making it all appear natural. Like "Computer Repair Mytown" in one place and "Mytown PC Consulting" in another spot.

Also you want to link to those pages from other places on your website using keyword anchor text.

Another thing you can try is to get some links coming into the page from other places, like directories or by writing articles for other websites with links in them.

Finally, post a quick Youtube video about your services in that area and link it back to that page. This guys has done something similar in my area: http://www.youtube.com/user/ComputerRepairMD?feature=watch
He's got a video for every friggin' town in the state!

All basic SEO stuff really.

Also, you never know but maybe people aren't searching for computer repair online in those areas. Check Adwords Keyword tool to see if those keywords are actually getting any searches: https://adwords.google.com/o/Target...000&ideaRequestType=KEYWORD_IDEAS#search.none

Matt,

Thanks so much for the advice! I am pretty sure that I have done almost everything you've said. I have done a YouTube video but not for each city. I will probably make one now. Where are the best places to post links on other websites to my pages?

If you don't mind, check out my site and let me know what you think:
