Local keyword generator

What it does

A local keyword generator combines what you sell with where you sell it, so you have a full list of local search phrases to research and target. You list your services, your places and any modifiers such as "company" or "cost", choose the patterns you want, and the tool writes every combination with duplicates removed. Patterns include service then place, service "in" place, place then service, service "near" place, and service "near me". The list can be copied or downloaded as plain text, as a CSV that keeps the service and place in separate columns, or formatted as Google Ads phrase or exact match keywords.

How to use it

1. List your services, one per line, in the words customers use.
2. List the places you serve: cities, districts or neighbourhoods.
3. Add modifiers if people search with them, such as cost, price or 24 hour.
4. Tick the patterns you want. Untick "near me" if you do not serve walk-in or call-out customers.
5. Copy or download the list, then check volumes in Keyword Planner.

How to read the result

With the defaults, three services (web design, website development and seo services) and three places (Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah) give 48 keywords. Each service and place pair produces five phrases: web design dubai, web design in dubai, dubai web design, web design company dubai and web design cost dubai. Each service also gets one near me phrase. The Combinations stat shows 3 × 3 so you can see how fast the list grows: ten services and twenty places with the same settings would give over a thousand.

The CSV output adds three columns, service, place and pattern, so you can sort and group in a spreadsheet. Grouping by place is the quickest way to plan location pages; grouping by service shows which services need their own page.

Not every phrase is worth a page. "dubai web design" and "web design dubai" are the same search, so treat them as one target. Use the list to find which phrases have demand, then map each group of near-identical phrases to a single page. The near me phrases are best served by your Google Business Profile, not by a page with "near me" in its title.
