How to rank a page for a keyword in multiple cities?
My website is targeting whole country. It's not location related. We dont have offices but we serve the whole nation. We dont have pages to cover multiple cities.
For one specific keyword, we used to rank in multiple locations but now we are ranking only on few locations (first page) and in other locations, we are not ranking at all. But the keywords are not location-related.

Why the same page optimized for same keyword ranking first page in few locations and not ranking in some locations.
Difficult to say. It could be that the competition with your keyword term may be low in some areas and high in others. The problem with trying to compete for keywords across an entire country, is (you guessed it), trying to compete for keywords across an entire country.
You may rank well in a geographic pattern emanating out from your main office location, but I'll bet the further away geographically, the less effective the results will be. You could try specific pages for different cities with geo-specific keywords, but without offices in those cities you may not get the results you want. You could go with a paid campaign and use those specific geo-specific keywords, but that would be up to you.
So do i have to pick different keywords depending upon geographical keyword competition to rank in the search results from all the places?
This isn't really a good example, because that's all I can come up with this early, but here we go anyway: An earthquake. The closer to the epicenter, the stronger the earthquake feels. The farther from that epicenter you get, the lesser the effect.
I know that isn't exactly a good analogy, but it's all I've got right now.
Here's a bit of history: At one time, there was another way. If you had a local office in each city or town, you could get listed in Google Places, and/or push that local effect to help in Organic listings with geo-specific terms and pages created specifically for each term. However, imagine the amount of pages and fluffy content you'd have to almost copy and repeat with just geo-specific terms dominating being the changed part of said repeated verbiage.
With that said, I'm fairly certain Google deals with that dated kind of attempt to game the system re SERPs, but if you try it, let us know how it goes. We all here love real data in terms of tested methods and results.
Google Places, on it's own, might work for you though, if you have a real address in said locals.
Failing that, you could try PPC. That said, and as you well should know, it can be expensive, and you have to know what you are doing. It could be your best option.
2 cents
As long as you don't use a keyword domain with one city named you should be fine just linking in those localities where you intend to serve your clients.
Try to get more backlinks that are more local specific for particular locations where you want to increase you positions. Also the assumption that in some areas you might have higher competition for your keyword, can also be true, so try to increase your backlink profile.
Increase website keyword ranking depends on SEO and its a best way to increase any website or blog ranking with target city.
Actually there's way more than that. It can depend on the site make up, content, competitors sites, keyword competition and more. Just including a few geo-specific terms in the content, directory structure or a few middling anchor-text backlinks won't necessarily do much.
Have more pages on your website to work on, you don't have much property to work on. Look for the keywords in the specific location where you are not ranking and work on them. Also analyze the competition in those specific regions and see where you are lacking.
You can use PPC if you want to rank for a single keyword.
PPC is normally set up for many keywords, not just one. But if you are vying for a competitive keyword, get ready to pay thru-the-nose.
hi... you not mentioned here anything about the country. So, if you want to target multiple cities of a different country then it is not possible with only one keyword. For that, you have to do more keyword research. But if your target is cities within the same country then you should use the keyword with that country name.
in order to rank your keywords in all the city to separate bookmarking will help you rank it.
You can target the global keywords and also don't use city names on titles but use different cities in the website content. You can use Google My business page and maps like branches available on different locations.

You can do proper research for your targeted cities and work only on those keywords for link building.
You can use a specific keyword for your multiple cities, If you can use targeted city keyword and also use paid campaign then your website keyword is visible on multiple cities.
I recently try to rank a keyword on Google multiple cities. But I am able to rank some of the countries. Then I take some advice from Neil Patel he says ''There is no guarantee to rank all countries'' Then I built some backlinks from target country website like CA, UK etc. And also use paid VPN for separate countries.
I am giving some tips with my personal experience:
1. Build backlinks from the country website (CA, UK, MY)
2. Write unique and fresh long content
3. Use a VPN when creating a link
4. Build backlink from the high-authority site
5. Use an external link with the country name.
I am not sure that It will help you to rank on Google different country. I personally use these techniques for my target keywords.
Thanks!
An old way, that might still work, but I haven't tried it for a very long time -
You buy a local top level domain, geolocationkeyword or geolocation-keyword - for this purpose the hyphen does not matter - aiming at a noted city that is not giving you results.
The old way was to use a 301 redirect from that domain to a page of similar keyword interest on the site you want to promote (but not the index landing page).
Does it still work? That is the question - but it should only cost about $10-$15 to give it a try.
If it doesn't work, there are still other possibilities from setting up a site on that domain, using on-page redirects and a robots.txt file saying "please go away, all of you". Again, I haven't tried this - but if you avoid links, and any Google monitoring software, it might get past the Google inspection system. It should go without saying that you wouldn't want to host such a site on the same hosting as the site you are trying to promote . . .
It takes a little bit time to get organic traffic. But when you will get organic traffic, you can easily use this traffic for marketing of your brands. But it can some time to reach out to peoples. So you need some time to get organic traffic.
The OP asks:
How to rank a page for a keyword in multiple cities?
Then you post this:

In all honesty, how is this helpful to anyone, when your answer doesn't address the OP's question in the slightest?

Not useful -
If you READ the original post, the site once attracted organic traffic but now is NOT getting that traffic. Time will only improve the traffic if the sites now getting the traffic are taken down.
It may be a waste of time, because it is old school thinking -but it occurs to me that the situation may be improved if attention is paid to the meta-description of each page.
Nowadays, the meta-description of a page has been discounted as having any SEO purpose, but it was always intended as the basis of the search engine entry listing - so deliberately putting the keyword and major cities into the meta description may bring the site to the attention of the target audience when they are searching.
Putting the keyword and city names into the meta can't hurt and costs nothing but your time!
To rank in multiple cities, I think if you creat city wise pages into the website and linking inside with eachother with using proper keyword combination. May be there some chances to get it.
Google algo is so sophisticated now that it is nearly impossible to guess out the factors contributing to rankings. Typically i have seen better results through link acquisition than onpage efforts. For ranking in different localities the primary tactic would be to get regional links from those localities where possible. Target the local classifieds - linking where possible - and local business directories.

Truth is, unless they told you how they arrive at their decision, you couldn't find out.

The point that did leak out about the Panda update was that it had to be a one-time event.
Google knew that it was putting a lot of established link juice in the garbage. But doing more than that was going to dump the best sites on the web along with the ones that Google wanted to keep going.
By anyone's standard of logic, there had to be a time when link juice was going to be a significant factor again. What else can you judge by?
Minisites are gone - every site needs 50 pages of unique content, even if 47 of those pages are rubbish, to even figure in the results. But the link juice factor has to re-emerge. However, since Panda, you can't sell links from big sites as "advertising" as easily as you could ten years ago. Google wants those links to be earned.
What I see today is just a different kind of rubbish from the stuff of old. The key phrase was always in Google's notes as something like "you want adequate text descriptions to support your content" - they want pics and vids supported by text on a ranking site, not just info. So you get these sites with stepwise pics and a couple of lines of text per pic, when the info could be conveyed by a page of text and two relevant pictures.
I gave up on that a long time ago - shame Google didn't.
Firstly you have to do research on the top ranking keywords which can be used by the competitors for the same thing. And Secondly, you have to select the country which you are targeted for using the keywords for multiple cities. For the target keywords for the multiple cities, you also can do the paid campaign.

To rank your pages locally you should add short code of City and zip code in the title of the page. It will help you to rank your website in relevant location.
