6 Regional Keywords Ranked in Weeks via Localised Pages
Case Study.

We tested whether a properly localised page — with region-specific keyword mapping, URL slugs, and on-page content — could unlock new local keyword rankings in a new target market.

The
Story.
How we helped Forward Digital (Internal) achieve exceptional results.
01 — The Challenge
For agencies and businesses targeting multiple geographic markets, the question of subdomain vs subdirectory vs separate domain is perennial. We tested whether a properly localised page — with region-specific keyword mapping, URL slugs, and on-page content — could unlock new local keyword rankings in a new target market.
02 — Our Solution
Full keyword research was conducted for the target region separately from existing markets. Local keywords were integrated into URL slugs, H1s, H2s, meta content, and body copy. Dedicated sections were created for high-priority service categories. Off-page support — backlinks and referring domain activity — was applied to the new pages to accelerate authority signals.
03 — The Results
6 new regionally targeted keywords started ranking within weeks of the localised page launch — 5 of them in the highest-priority service category, confirming that genuine localisation of on-page content, supported by off-page activity, drives measurable new rankings.
