Local seo Question

[Adriano 7]

If i creat a section on my website or a blog (and redirecting it to the website) where i talk about local events, i will rank better for that locality?
Though the contents are difficult to correlate?
I have no idea if this can work maybe some of you can clarift this.

Seems someone asked that and it appears to be true.

This is true, but to take it a step further, use hreflang HTML tags if you have content in multiple languages.

Local SEO is a huge industry in and of itself, and the techniques you use to rank a site with a local target audience are very different than the techniques used to rank a site with a global or nationwide audience. Expect the entire competition landscape of the search results pages to change and to, of course, be very personalized (as me Googling for "best coffee shop" is a lot different than someone in a different city doing the same search).
