SEO Poll On Near Me Optimization

Brodie Clark posted a Twitter poll asking “is optimizing a website for search term variations that include “near me” good practice for SEO?” The results were pretty almost evenly split amongst “yes” and “no”, with more people leaning to “it depends.”

The poll has over 1,000 votes and goes well with the story from earlier today about how naming your business “near me” with a keyword phrase might not be the best idea.

Here are the poll results:
