[alfredoshawn]

Hi Every one I just want to ask question if this pages is considered a Doorway pages.


For Ex. My Keyword is Digital Marketing. And I created a landing pages for every locations.

Ex.
Digital Marketing in Agoura Hills
Digital Marketing in Alhambra
Digital Marketing in Arcadia
Digital Marketing in Artesia
Digital Marketing in Avalon
Digital Marketing in Azusa
Digital Marketing in Baldwin


I only changed the H1 for each landing page "Keyword + location" also the URL Slug.
And add location in each content like I add the location in USP section, in benefits section, why choose us section, in CTA etc.


Can you provide also example of doorway pages ranking on google? Because I also notice some of the digital marketing giants also the use this technique.

ex. https://powerdigitalmarketing.com/ and https://thriveagency.com/.


Thank you for your answers guys.

Doorway abuse​

Doorway abuse is when sites or pages are created to rank for specific, similar search queries. They lead users to intermediate pages that are not as useful as the final destination. Examples of doorway abuse include:

• Having multiple websites with slight variations to the URL and home page to maximize their reach for any specific query
• Having multiple domain names or pages targeted at specific regions or cities that funnel users to one page
• Generating pages to funnel visitors into the actual usable or relevant portion of a site
• Creating substantially similar pages that are closer to search results than a clearly defined, browseable hierarchy
