How do Dhaka searches differ?
Customers often search by area because traffic makes distance matter: “dentist in Uttara”, “AC servicing Mirpur”. Picture a physiotherapy clinic in Banani that adds a clear Banani location page, gets reviews mentioning the area, and shows parking information. It begins to appear for nearby searches it missed before. Some searches are in Bangla or mixed; include natural Bangla phrases where your customers use them.
What should you avoid?
- Fake addresses or virtual offices to appear in more areas.
- Keyword-stuffed business names.
- Buying reviews; it risks suspension.
- Dozens of near-identical area pages.
