The county and its larger cities are worth naming on your site. Wayne and Oakland counties sit in the same Detroit metro, which means your competition may include businesses from beyond Macomb. Untap Web builds and maintains sites for local owners and sets up local search around them. We would start with the cities you actually serve, such as Warren, Roseville or Fraser, and build outward from there. If you are unsure which cities to list, tell us where your last ten customers came from and we can start there.
