Local keyword research can be a maze sometimes! I'm intrigued by your approach to reverse-engineering competitor success. I've been using hifivestars for my reviews, but maybe I need to rethink my keyword strategy!

The client is targeting three specific cities and needs search volume data for 8 different services.
