The Local Keyword Generator Tool

Hey everyone!

For those of you who have checked out our 2016 Local SEO Ranking Factors study, and if you haven’t now is a great time to, then you know that here at Local SEO Guide that we look at a grouping of 3 keywords to represent most local queries. For example, if the client is a dentist in Costa Mesa it would look something like this:

dentist
dentist costa mesa
costa mesa dentist

And for those of you that have had to localize top level keywords before you know what a huge, time consuming and manual PITA it can be. Well not anymore!

Local Keyword Generator

In order to streamline this process I developed a Google Sheet’s script that can take a couple of inputs (city and keyword list) and generate a localized set of keywords. I like to call it…

THE LOCAL KEYWORD GENERATOR

This tool is really simple to use:

1. Make a copy of the sheet for you to use yourself (don’t ask me for edit access, I’m not going to give it to you)
2. Put the city you want to localize for (or zip code) in cell A4
3. Put the keywords you want to localize in A10+
4. Click the “Generate Keywords” button
5. Check the new tab that has the localized versions of all your keywords

Simple enough right? Now you can spend time doing keyword research instead of localizing your keywords lists!
