Content localizer
Each location gets its own version.
The same paragraph often ships with a new city in the first line, while the hours still belong to the original shop.
Today
A swapped city name, or a version from that place.
-
By hand
The city name swapped.
The hours, the team, and the offer are whatever the original page said. A customer in the second city can tell.
-
With the system
Facts from that location.
Each version starts from the approved article and a short file for that place: address, hours, and the services you actually offer there. If the file is thin, the draft is thin, and it waits.
-
Status
Built for one company, now being packaged.
The first version was built for a single company. We are packaging the same motion so another business can order it. It is not a switch on a pricing page.
Example
What a location version can look like before it publishes.
Draft for the second shop: address and hours taken from that shop’s file, services limited to what the file lists. Hours were not copied from the first shop. Status: waiting for a person who knows that location.
How a version is made
The article, the place, then a person.
-
The source.
One article the business has approved. If that article is not approved, there is nothing to adapt. The weekly publishing habit is where that source usually comes from.
-
The place file.
What is true at that location, written by you. The draft may use only that file plus the source article. It may not borrow a neighboring city’s hours to fill a hole.
-
The read.
Each version sits until a person who knows that location has read it. Publishing is a yes for that version, not a yes for the whole set.
Approval
A local draft still waits.
A draft of a location version can be prepared after the checks, using only the approved article and that place’s file. It does not publish on its own. A missing fact is left missing. A price, a discount, a promised result, a service the file does not list, or a new claim waits until the person allowed to approve that location releases the page.
-
Prepared from the file.
Address, hours, and services you listed for that place, arranged on the spine of the article you already approved.
-
Published one location at a time.
Approving the original article does not approve the second shop, the second clinic, or the next city. Each version has its own yes.
Thin files
A place with only a city name does not get a page.
-
Why the pages differ.
Each version is built so a customer in that place can read something true there, not so the site can hold a pile of near-copies.
-
A missing fact stays visible.
If the file has no hours, the draft does not invent hours. The page stays waiting until someone writes the fact in or decides not to publish it.
-
Wait until the file is real.
Shipping an empty version is how the set becomes noise. We would rather hold the page.
Where it sits
Several locations, one publishing habit.
-
Part of getting found.
A page for each location gives Google and AI answers that place's own address, hours, and facts, instead of one page with the city swapped.
-
The source article.
Getting found is where the original piece gets approved. This system starts after that yes.
-
Not the social caption.
Social publishing is the network queue. A city page is not a caption, and a caption approval does not cover the page.
-
The desks.
A trade with several cities, several stores, and several offices can use the same motion. What they may say in public still differs.
Questions
Before a city page is a copy of another city.
Do the location versions just swap the city name?
No. Each version is written from that location’s own facts: the address, the hours, the services, and the notes that are true only there. If the place file is empty, the draft does not borrow another city’s details. It waits.
Does each version need its own approval?
Yes. A yes on the original article is not a yes on every city. You can approve them on the same afternoon. You cannot approve a bundle you have not read.
Will a set of city pages rank better?
More addresses are not a plan. A ranking is outside what this system offers. The reason to publish a location page is that a customer there can read something true about that place.
Has this been built before?
Yes. The first version was built for one company, and we are packaging the same motion for the next business that wants it. It is not a product you turn on from a pricing page.
Which site software does it assume?
It does not assume a brand of site software. You need a place the approved article already lives, and a way to publish a page after a person says yes. If your setup makes that hard, the plan is where we say so.

A copied doc with the city swapped is a common start. We will say whether this is the first build.
