Step 4: Select Query Templates
Once you’ve decided the keywords you want to include, you can select the Query Templates that you would like to apply to those keywords.
Query Templates are a way to localize the keywords you selected using common patterns that searchers often use; for example, “… near me”, “… in Seattle”, “… Seattle WA”, etc. These templates will use the location of the entity in question, and will place searches with the provided keywords specific to that location.
For example, if you select Keyword in City as the query template, one of your keywords is “mexican food”, and the entity’s location is San Francisco, the final search query would be: Mexican Food in San Francisco.
Note: Yahoo does not support localized searches with Query Templates in Search Tracker, so only Query Templates that have an explicit location indicated (e.g., “Keyword in City”) are used. The “Keyword” and “Keyword near me” templates are not applied.
