I don't think Google's looking at the on-site content for 'near me' keywords...I would think it's based solely on the address/geographic location of the business. But it's worth a shot to try and see!

Thank you, Cody! Linda - Great idea, I just posted in the WMT forum. I'll keep you both posted if a helpful solution arises.

Hi Everyone, Seeking some guidance here. A few months ago this site was hacked by one of the Xanax/Valium spammers. About 2 dozen pharmaceutical landing pages were created on the site, and tons of backlinks were sent to those pages. They've since been removed and I disavowed the spammy...

Hi Everyone, Have you seen the Google's new Rich Snippets Testing Tool? https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/ It doesn't seem to be reading schema/rich snippets correctly...check it out and see if it's working right for you.
