# Overhead Door — Local Blog & Location Page Strategy

## Overview

As part of the organic SEO effort for Overhead Door Madison, a set of blog posts is being drafted to support newly created local location pages. The strategy uses internal linking from blog content to location-specific landing pages to build topical authority and improve organic ranking for local search queries.

This approach was discussed in the [[wiki/clients/overhead-door-madison/_index|Overhead Door Madison]] April 2026 marketing review and represents the primary near-term lever for organic growth while paid channels mature.

## Strategy

### Core Mechanic

Blog posts are written around topics relevant to garage door services in specific local markets. Each post links internally to a dedicated location page (e.g., a page targeting a specific suburb or city in the Madison area). This signals to Google that the location pages are authoritative and contextually relevant, improving their chances of ranking for geo-modified queries like "garage door repair [city]."

### Content Plan

- **Format:** Short-to-medium blog posts (service tips, seasonal advice, product highlights, local service area callouts)
- **Linking target:** Newly created local location pages added to the site's home page navigation
- **Cadence:** Initial batch of drafts sent for client review within a few days of the April 1 meeting; publish upon approval
- **Owner:** Sebastian Gant (drafting); Jeff Ryan and John Gradel (review and approval)

### Post Types Being Drafted

Based on the meeting discussion, post topics follow patterns already used for GBP content, adapted for blog format:

| Post Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Emergency repair highlight | Capture high-intent local searches |
| Seasonal tip (spring/fall) | Timely relevance, links to service area pages |
| Completed project spotlight | Social proof + local keyword signal |
| Commercial service highlight | Expand beyond residential audience |

## Workflow

1. Sebastian drafts blog posts targeting local keywords
2. Drafts sent to Jeff and John for review
3. On approval, posts published to site with internal links pointing to location pages
4. Monitor organic traffic and ranking improvements to location pages via Google Analytics

## Context & Rationale

Overhead Door Madison has meaningful organic presence — Google Analytics shows Yahoo organic traffic at nearly 50% of Google organic volume, suggesting the site already has some domain authority. Targeted blog content linking to location pages is a relatively low-cost way to accelerate local ranking without additional ad spend.

The location pages themselves were added to the home page prior to this meeting. Blog posts are the next step to give those pages link equity and contextual relevance.
