For businesses in Prague and across the EU, local SEO is not optional — it’s essential. If you sell services, your real competitor is not a big nationwide brand, but the company across the street.
Users who include a location in their search have the strongest commercial intent.
Example:- Query “café”: the person may just be browsing photos or recipes.
- Query “café Prague 1”: the person is looking for a place to eat in the next 30 minutes.
Local search terms help you attract more relevant traffic while filtering out visitors from other regions or countries.
To make your website visible to nearby customers, you must integrate geography into every layer of SEO. Here’s a step-by-step approach.
1. Levels of LocalizationDon’t limit yourself to “Prague”. The Czech Republic has strong local identity — people often search within their district.
- City: “website development Prague”, “accountant Karlovy Vary”
- District (Městská část): “beauty salon Prague 5”, “fitness Smíchov”
- Micro-location / Street: “notary near Václavák”, “restaurant Anděl”
- Landmarks: “hotel near Charles Bridge”
2. Language Mix and Market RealityThe Czech search environment is multilingual. If you create a
multi-page site for a broad audience, consider these types of queries:
- Czech (official): “tvorba webových stránek Praha”.
- Include diacritics, but keep in mind that mobile users often type without them (“praha”).
- Russian-speaking expats: “русский врач в Праге”, “ремонт телефонов Жижков”.
- English (tourists & IT professionals): “best coffee in Prague”, “coworking near me”.
3. Where to Add Geo-Modifiers?Finding local keywords is not enough — correct placement is crucial.
- Meta Title & Description: The most important area.
- “Dentistry in Prague 2 (Vinohrady)” performs far better than just “Dentistry”.
- H1 headings: Include location on landing pages.
- Footer: Add full address and district — this signals relevance to Google Maps.
- Content: Even basic template websites should mention: “We operate in Prague and the Central Bohemian Region” — this helps algorithms associate you with the correct location.
In our work, we often use a hyper-local strategy instead of trying to target the entire country at once.
- For local services (barbershops, cafés, repairs), we create landing pages for specific districts.
- A dedicated page for “manicure Vinohrady” converts 2–3× better than a general services page.
- We analyze how locals refer to places in casual speech.
- For example, people search “na Ipak” (I.P. Pavlova) or “na Kulat’áku” (Vítězné náměstí).
- Including such slang-based terms helps brands feel more relatable.
- For e-commerce, we create delivery pages for specific cities — capturing queries like “buy [product] with delivery to Liberec”.
Using local keywords is the fastest path to your first sales.
While competitors fight for broad high-volume queries, you can capture the hottest leads — people searching right next to your business.
