Locations Worth Targeting
If Mackenzie Davies Architects operates across Kent, I’d prioritise:
- Canterbury
- Maidstone
- Tunbridge Wells
- Ashford
- Whitstable
- Faversham
- Herne Bay
- Sevenoaks
- Folkestone
- Dover
- Margate
- Ramsgate
Create 10-15 strong pages rather than 50 thin pages.
Readability Rules
- Maximum 3-4 lines per paragraph
- Use plenty of H2 and H3 headings
- Write for homeowners first, Google second
- Use location naturally (don’t force it)
- Include local landmarks, neighbourhoods and property types
- Aim for 800-1,200 words per location page
- Include original project photos where possible
A good formula is:
40% local expertise + 40% services + 20% trust signals
This tends to perform far better than pages that simply repeat “Architects in [Town]” throughout the content.
