Checks for service area/location pages

## Solution

Service area pages help rank for '[service] in [location]' searches. Create pages for each major city/area you serve. Include location-specific content, testimonials, and case studies. Use unique content - don't just swap city names. Add LocalBusiness schema with areaServed property.
