Hi,
Really after some help on this, and not sure if it can be done.
I have a website (www.iphone-and-pc-repair.co.uk), that is hosted. I want one homepage for each local area that I serve, so when people do a google search it will show them the homepage for their location, but then the links will serve to the other pages on the website. I do bot want to have X amount of separate hosting packages.
If you do a google search for 'iPhone repairs glastonbury' you will see a company called u123 with a Glastonbury location website. Do the same search for Bridgwater, and you will see the same website but with Bridgwater.
Any help would be great, and apologies if this sounds like a noob - which I am.

Technically this could be seen as naughty and bordering on what is known as grey or even a light shade of black hat seo. But to answer your question, it's all under one hosting package most likely.
Google is clever enough to weed these kinds of sites out usually.
You could build a site called ww.iphone-and-pc-repair.co.uk and have a page for each location like: ww.iphone-and-pc-repair.co.uk/london.html // ww.iphone-and-pc-repair.co.uk/glastonbury.html
But only changing a few words (the location) and keeping the rest of the content the same is adding no value or great content to the web and will eventually get a low rank. I wouldn't bother.
Instead, make separate location pages but make sure the content is different (at least 70%) and actually is useful to people in that area looking for a computer repair. You're more likely to get a higher pagerank doing in that way, make people happier and make more conversions (sales / phone calls etc)
Check out google local business to focus on local search www.google.com/placesforbusiness and get your service onto Google maps. Use Twitter search or a search like mine http://www.latteperday.com/twitter-search/ and find people in a particular area with a particular pc problem (reverse engineer searching) and offer help at the right time. Build links form local directories is also another good idea.
Best of luck with this project and it can all be achieved in RW.
