I am optimizing my website for the (1) local, map-based search engines and (2) the general search queries that include references to cities, counties, etc. I'm trying to figure out which of these two tactics would be best. You're input would be appreciated.

To give a little more background, we're looking to target approximately 30 cities and 8 counties.

Option 1: Service Locations Page
Publish a page that contains all of our targeted cities and county names. Something to the effect of "we've serviced clients in [city1], [city2]... and [county1], [county2]... etc etc etc.

Option 2: Footer Include
Publish the above-referenced option on every page of content by adding the content that references the cities and counties to every page. More than likely, this content would be "below" our design, would be smaller text and would by no means be the focal point of the content. We could also tame this down and include these listings only on specific pages that we're targeting.

Option 3: Your Suggestions?

Your input is greatly appreciated.
