James Dooley is joined by Mike Lovatt, Paul Truscott and Luke Bastin to discuss semantic SEO strategies for local SEO. The conversation explores how site focus, site radius, topical maps, entity coverage and transactional intent affect local rankings. Paul Truscott explains why broad semantic content networks can dilute local sites when outer pages receive little traffic, while Luke Bastin highlights the need to choose the right category, hyponym and commercial attributes. Mike Lovatt discusses how too much informational content can shift a local business site into a reference-style site. The group also covers geo-contextual content, Google Business Profile support, BM25, TF-IDF, cosine similarity, off-page topical maps, wasteful domains and third-party corroboration. This video is useful for local SEO specialists, agency owners and businesses looking to improve semantic relevance in local SERPs.Where to Listen to This EpisodeLocal SEO with Semantic Strategies is available across all major podcast platforms.
