Jaccard scoring measures actual phrase-level uniqueness. This system targets 0.75-0.85 similarity (on-topic but not duplicate).\n\n---\n\n## Why Jaccard Scoring\n\nJaccard similarity measures shared phrases between two documents:\n\n```\nJaccard(A, B) = |A ∩ B| / |A ∪ B|\n```\n\n- Score of 1.0 = identical documents\n- Score of 0.0 = no shared phrases\n- **Target: 0.75-0.85** — similar enough to be on-topic, unique enough to avoid duplicate content penalties\n\nScores above 0.90 = near-duplicate = Google may deindex or suppress the variant page.\nScores below 0.70 = so different they may not rank for the same keyword family.\n\n---\n\n## The 7 Variation Axes\n\nEach location page variation draws uniqueness from these seven sources:\n\n### Axis 1: Geographic References\n- City name, county, neighborhood names\n- Local landmarks, districts, zip codes\n- Regional terminology (Chicagoland vs greater Chicago area)\n- Distance references (\"serving [City] and surrounding [radius] mile area\")\n\n### Axis 2: Local Social Proof\n- Customer testimonials from that specific city\n- Named projects in that area\n- Local contractor/partner mentions\n\n### Axis 3: Local Context\n- City-specific regulations or codes (if applicable)\n- Local weather patterns affecting the service\n- Area-specific pricing considerations\n\n### Axis 4: Different Examples\n- Same service explained with different examples per location\n- Different case study or before/after for each city\n\n### Axis 5: Different Stats\n- Local stat sourced from city/county data\n- Area-specific market condition\n- Neighborhood-level data if available\n\n### Axis 6: Opening and Closing Paragraphs\n- Intro and CTA rewritten entirely — never shared across variants\n- Different opening hook angle per location\n\n### Axis 7: FAQ Variation\n- 2-3 FAQ questions that are city-specific\n- Local permit, code, or process questions\n- City-named queries (\"What do roofing companies in Denver charge?\")\n\n---\n\n## Rewrite Protocol\n\n**Step 1:** Write the master page (anchor location — typically headquarters or primary market)\n\n**Step 2:** For each variant location, apply variation to these sections in order:\n\n| Section | Change Required | Notes |\n|---------|----------------|-------|\n| Title tag + H1 | Always | City name mandatory |\n| Intro paragraph | Full rewrite | New opening hook |\n| Social proof section | New testimonials | Location-specific |\n| Process/differentiator section | Light edit | Same structure, new examples |\n| Local context section | New content | City-specific info |\n| FAQ section | 2-3 unique Qs added | Keep 3-4 from master |\n| CTA section | Light edit | Same CTA, city name |\n| Meta description | Full rewrite | City + unique value prop |\n\n**Step 3:** Run Jaccard check before publishing.\n\n---\n\n## Jaccard Measurement (Manual Method)\n\nFor teams without automated tools:\n\n1. Extract all unique 3-word phrases from master page\n2. Extract all unique 3-word phrases from variant page\n3. Count phrases in both (intersection)\n4. Count total unique phrases (union)\n5. Divide intersection by union\n\nIf score exceeds 0.85: identify the repeated phrase blocks and rewrite those sections specifically.\n\n**Quick proxy test:** If 3 consecutive sentences in the variant are word-for-word identical to the master, the section needs a rewrite.\n\n---\n\n## Minimum Uniqueness by Page Section\n\n| Section | Minimum Unique Content |\n|---------|----------------------|\n| H1 + Title | 100% (city-modified) |\n| Intro paragraph | 100% (full rewrite) |\n| Social proof | 100% (new testimonials) |\n| Body sections | 40-60% unique per section |\n| FAQ | 30%+ unique questions |\n| CTA | 20%+ unique (city name minimum) |\n\n**Overall page:** Target 35-40% unique content at minimum. 50%+ is the safe zone.\n\n---\n\n## Scale Note\n\nAt 20+ location pages, manual variation becomes unsustainable. At that scale:\n- Templatize the stable sections (process, credentials, guarantees)\n- Build a local data insert layer (city name, local stat, testimonial)\n- Write new intro paragraphs (the highest-weight uniqueness section) for every page\n- Automated Jaccard checks before publish\n\n#content-sop #multi-location #local-seo #uniqueness #duplicate-content\n","html":"<h1>Content Variation Engine: Multi-Location Uniqueness via Jaccard Scoring</h1>\n<p>Multi-location businesses need unique content per location — not the same page with \"[CITY]\" swapped out.
