# Optimizing location pages

This creates a unique page and unique URL with information for each area you cover. This creates a new opportunity for the search engine results pages to reflect your business in their results - primarily in localized regions. This has shown to have a dramatic effect on ranking for our local service businesses. The BT Platform has made this process very easy for the DIY business to do, or marketing firms to create repeatable and reproducible pages for publication.

What is search engine optimization?

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is essential for helping search engines match relevant search results to your website. By improving your search ranking you'll see a higher quality traffic and measurable sales increase.

Tip for editing webpages

You can click the "X" (4 arrow) icon in the text editor to open the drag n drop editor. This will give you special text and image blocks you can drag onto the page. In addition, from the live editor you can create snippets of information that can be dragged and dropped onto the page, making the production of numerous locations pages very quick.
