What Are Geo-Modified Keywords?

Geo-modified keywords—also referred to as location-based, location modifiers, or geographic modifiers—are search terms that include a specific place name (like a city, neighborhood, or state) appended to a general keyword. For instance, "plumber" becomes "plumber in Miami" or "plumber Chicago."

These keywords are widely used in both local SEO and PPC advertising, helping businesses connect with users who have local intent. For example, a search like "landscaping services Des Moines" is a geo-modified keyword—your tool helps filter or isolate such terms efficiently.

Why They Matter
Higher Relevance &
Visibility

Geo-modified keywords signal to search engines and users that your content or ad is geographically relevant. This improves your chances of appearing in local search results and Google's prone-to-showing local "3-pack" or map features.

Better Engagement &
Conversions

Searches that include a specific location tend to have higher click-through and conversion rates because they reflect clear local intent. Users are explicitly looking for services in that area.

Campaign Structuring &
Precision

In PPC, separating geo-modified keywords from generic ones allows more precise targeting, better budget control, and avoidance of keyword overlap across campaigns. This improves performance and simplifies account management.

How This Tool Helps

Manually sorting thousands of keywords to find those with—or without—geo modifiers can be painstaking and error-prone.

This Geo-Keyword Filter Tool streamlines this by instantly:

  • Identifying keywords containing U.S. locations (cities, towns, states, metros)
  • Separating them for inclusion or exclusion—saving hours of manual work

By leveraging a comprehensive database of over 21,000 U.S. locations, this tool empowers marketers, PPC managers, and SEO professionals to clean, segment, and optimize their keyword lists with ease.

Our small team of SEO analysts performs keyword research on a daily basis. We tend to focus on national to local clients, so we typically have to filter for lots of geo-modified terms for SEO campaigns that require geo-qualified SEO traffic. Because we do this on a daily basis, this tool cuts about 2 to 5 hours off of our work week.

If you're working from home and chasing that elusive 4-hour workweek Tim Ferris promised you, hopefully this will help.
