For the record, among an Overture keyword selector tool search on "asbestos lawyer", I found only these "few" geography + keyword searches in the month of December:

703 texas asbestos lawyer
582 california asbestos lawyer
462
houston asbestos lawyer
353
pennsylvania asbestos lawyer
321 philadelphia asbestos lawyer
316 florida asbestos lawyer
312 dallas asbestos lawyer
310
chicago asbestos lawyer
298
new york asbestos lawyer
297
georgia asbestos lawyer
280
maryland asbestos lawyer
273
colorado asbestos lawyer

Granted, the BIG search is for "asbestos lawyer", but these geo-specific ones number in the few hundreds per city, and the geography definitely SEEMS to be positioned BEFORE the keyword. I guess the stupid people who search that way shouldn't be allowed to take their case to a local lawyer?

This was actually helpful, and I thank you for that information. We'll have to get that reversed ASAP. Obviously, I blundered in coming into this particular forum, still on my "happy pills" from what I thought were some pretty cool search results. I did modify the one Orlando search to read: largest commercial printers Orlando, which still produces a #4 result out of 1.26 million result pages on Google. I guess #4 is meaningless because I had to "cheat" with such a narrow term like "Orlando". Oh, well. Maybe actual business people in towns like Orlando (and Cincinnati, and Spokane, and Fairbanks, and Detroit, and Atlanta, etc.) will be more impressed than SEO experts.
