Dear support team,

in case of better search results from SEO perspective I would like to proceed with a nearby URL instead of location URL.

Steps to get location URL’s
1. Use the location selector from Homepage and enter country, region, or city
2. then the search results are presendet with a corresponding location link URL for i.e. Leipzig

Now I want these used for SEO approach to be used from google search results but instead of
…/location/germany/saxony/leipzig/
should be
…/nearby/germany/saxony/leipzig/

How would I be able to do and change that?
What is your suggestion to proceed to get nearby city URL’s in google search results displayed?

Best regards, Alex

That would require your own customization.

Alternatively we have ‘doubled down’ and added many new ‘location’ related features recently for the archive and location templates.

Check out GD CPT Meta for Archive pages, and GD Location Meta for Location (and CPT + Location) pages. They use information from the CPT Description and Location description, respectively. They can be used to add more unique content to these templates to help rank them better.
