Implementing Driving Directions on Service Area Pages

[Matt Chauhan]

I saw a video somewhere recently in which an example was shown where a business added driving directions to all the service area pages on the website. For example, on the service area page of Miami, they implemented the driving directions from Miami to their nearest physical office location, which was in a different city. Is this strategy ok, and should it be implemented on the service area pages? Has anyone heard of this strategy?

Totally fine to do.

@Colan Nielsen, Have you heard of the strategy that by driving to your business while using Google Maps guided directions, you "could" increase your local map rankings via interactions?

Here's one video for example:

So interesting @tarantino75 ... I've never heard of this before. Thanks for sharing.

I read elsewhere about that not long ago. There was a mention of someone driving around with a bunch of phones to do it.

It's real (or at least was at one point).
