Do location-based domains help local SEO?

[ThorntonTax]

I’m helping a business in Officer, VIC with local SEO. We’re thinking of registering domains like exampleofficer.com.au and taxagentberwick.com.au for different service areas.

Do these location-specific domains boost local rankings for services like tax agent Berwick (https://randstax.com.au/tax-accountant-berwick/), or is it better to stick with one main site and optimize pages?

Appreciate your insights!

Yes, location-based domains can support local SEO by making your business more relevant to geographic-specific searches. Including a city or region in your domain name helps search engines and users quickly identify where your services are offered. It can improve click-through rates and boost visibility in local search results. However, it should be paired with strong local SEO practices like Google Business Profile optimization and locally targeted content for the best results.
