What is Multi-Location SEO?

Multi-location SEO is local SEO run as a system across many markets: a location-page architecture with genuinely local content per market, one entity record and Google Business Profile strategy per location, and per-market tracking rolled up for the parent brand. Its main failure mode is templated pages that differ only by city name, which engines and AI models treat as one page.
