Exact-match domains.

A user typing plombiers Geneve sees three things in the results: their query, a domain that contains their query, and a favicon. The exact-match domain wins the click before they read the snippet. The CTR boost cascades into ranking. It is a feedback loop that only works at the long tail, where one human-typed query maps one-to-one to one URL.

Yelp ranks for everything and converts on nothing.
plombiersgeneve.ch ranks for one query and converts on most of them.

   plombiers-geneve.ch is a fallback. The clean version is preferred.

Once the EMD is bought, every page on the site uses the same flat-URL rule. domain.ch / service-location. No folders. No nested categories. No /services/plumbing/austin/. The slug is the next-most-relevant query.

plombiergeneve.ch/urgence-plombier-geneve. acrepaircolleyville.com/24-hour-ac-repair-colleyville-tx. One page, one query, no tax on the page authority.

Yelp can't buy plombiersgeneve.ch. Their editorial team won't let them. The local plumber can buy it but won't — they don't know they should, and even if they did, they don't want to write 400 pages. That is the gap. bord lives in it.
