Design a hierarchy around two dimensions: service and geography. Broad service pages explain each offering comprehensively; local pages explain that offering in a meaningful service market. Choose a canonical target for each high-value query group and link local pages to their primary service hub. Do not automatically create every service-city combination: publish only where the local intent and available evidence justify a page. Review cannibalization using query overlap and adjust linking or consolidation when multiple URLs answer the same question.
