The page architecture

  • 1 page per distinct service (e.g. AC repair, furnace install, ductwork).
  • 1 page per priority city (top 5–15 markets you serve).
  • 1 page per top service+city combo (your highest-margin combinations).
  • Skip programmatic/spun pages — Google's Helpful Content update penalizes them.
