Consider the following benefits and best practices when creating Local Search Pages:
- These pages create additional indexed content targeted to specific combinations (e.g., "cardiology clinics near Austin"), increasing search visibility and improving SEO.
- Make sure your vocabularies and location content are consistently populated — missing terms or locations will reduce or prevent generation for some combinations.
- Use sensible limits for "number of providers" to avoid overly long pages — 10 to 20 is a common range depending on layout.
- Enable pagination so each page remains crawlable and focused; avoid infinite lists.
- Review generated pages after creation to ensure providers are associated correctly with the intended location.
Tip: If generated pages return unexpected providers - confirm that provider nodes have correct location fields and taxonomy term assignments, and that the chosen proximity/radius settings are appropriate for the location.
