Local news SEO
Local news SEO targets geolocalized information queries — events, local incidents, municipal decisions — by combining NewsArticle markup, NAP citation for the location covered, and consistency with the Google Business profile of the publisher.
In practice
A well-structured municipal blog or local outlet can dominate results in its geographic area against national media, because Google values proximity for local news queries. The key: publish fast, mention the location explicitly in the H1 and the first two paragraphs, and earn links from local institutional sites (town hall, tourism office, chamber of commerce).
