Workshop neighborhood header map before copy polish
Lock the header structure on each neighborhood page before polishing sentences so the page makes its job obvious to search engines and visitors.
Why this can grow a startup
Teams often start local page work by rewriting copy line by line. Workshop's case study suggests a better order. First make the page legible. Header tags tell both readers and crawlers what the page is trying to cover, and they force the team to decide which local questions belong on that page instead of drifting into generic city fluff. Once the header map is right, the copy has a much clearer job. This is particularly useful for multi-page local programs, because a good structure prevents near-duplicates from quietly competing with each other under slightly different wording.
Source-backed example
Workshop Digital says its page-by-page audits checked header tags first, making sure each neighborhood page used a correct structure with accurate, descriptive copy that invited engagement rather than relying on loose local filler.
