How LPagery Can Help Your Local Business Grow

1. Prepare Your Source Files

You will need three separate source files for this process: one for States, one for Areas within those States, and one for Sectors within those Areas. Each file will help in generating the corresponding pages hierarchically.

States Source File:

This source file should contain a list of all the states where your business operates. Each row should include the name of a state.

state_name
California
Texas

Download Example States Source File

Areas Source File:

This source file should contain a list of areas within each state. Each row should include the name of the area, the state it belongs to, and the LPagery parent. The lpagery_parent column should use the placeholder {state} to dynamically assign the parent state to each area.

area_name	state	lpagery_parent
Los Angeles Metro Area	California	{state}
San Francisco Bay Area	California	{state}
Houston Metro Area	Texas	{state}
Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex	Texas	{state}

Sectors Source File:

This source file should contain a list of sectors within each area. Each row should include the name of the sector, the area it belongs to, the LPagery parent, and the LPagery category. The lpagery_parent column should use the placeholder {area} to dynamically assign the parent area to each sector. The lpagery_categories column allows you to set dynamic categories for each page based on the state and area it belongs to.

sector_name	area	lpagery_parent	lpagery_categories
Downtown Los Angeles	Los Angeles Metro Area	{area}	California>{area}
East Bay	San Francisco Bay Area	{area}	California>{area}
Central Houston	Houston Metro Area	{area}	Texas>{area}
Inner suburbs of Houston	Houston Metro Area	{area}	Texas>{area}
Central Dallas	Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex	{area}	Texas>{area}
Inner suburbs of Dallas	Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex	{area}	Texas>{area}

2. Create Your Template Pages

You will need three template pages: one for States, one for Areas, and one for Sectors. Ensure that the URL slug of the created pages matches the value of the corresponding placeholders.

State Template Page:

Title: {state_name}
URL Slug: {state_name}
Example Content: "Expert Phone Repair in {state_name}. Our team of skilled technicians provides fast and reliable phone repair services at our multiple locations across {state_name}."

Area Template Page:

Title: {area_name}
URL Slug: {area_name}
Example Content: "QuickFix Phones serves the {area_name} with reliable and fast phone repair services. Find us in your neighborhood."

Sector Template Page:

Title: {sector_name}
URL Slug: {sector_name}
Example Content: "For expert phone repair services in the {sector_name} area, visit QuickFix Phones. We handle all types of phone issues quickly and efficiently."

3. Generate Pages Hierarchically

Follow these steps to generate the pages in the correct hierarchical order:

Step 1: Generate State Pages

1. Upload the States Source File to LPagery.
2. Select the State Template Page.
3. Generate the pages.

Step 2: Generate Area Pages

1. Upload the Areas Source File to LPagery.
2. Select the Area Template Page.
3. Generate the pages.

Step 3: Generate Sector Pages

1. Upload the Sectors Source File to LPagery.
2. Select the Sector Template Page.
3. Generate the pages.

Optional: Using Custom Post Types

If your WordPress setup prefers custom post types for managing specific content like store locations, you can use Custom Post Types (CPTs) instead of regular pages. In this case, taxonomies must be used instead of categories.

Source Files Adjustments:

States and Areas Source Files remain the same.

Sectors Source File:

Here we need to change the lpagery_categories column to: lpagery_taxonomy_{taxonomy_name} where {taxonomy_name} is the slug of the taxonomy. Taxonomies can be hierarchical or non-hierarchical, similar to categories and tags. In our case the slug of the taxonomy is "region"

sector_name	area	lpagery_parent	lpagery_taxonomy_region
Downtown Los Angeles	Los Angeles Metro Area	{area}	California>{area}
East Bay	San Francisco Bay Area	{area}	California>{area}
Central Houston	Houston Metro Area	{area}	Texas>{area}
Inner suburbs of Houston	Houston Metro Area	{area}	Texas>{area}
Central Dallas	Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex	{area}	Texas>{area}
Inner suburbs of Dallas	Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex	{area}	Texas>{area}

Step 3: Generate Store CPT Posts

1. Upload the Sectors Source File to LPagery.
2. Select the Store Template CPT Post.
3. Generate the posts.
