Why do Nashville results show for Clarksville searches?
Because at 41 miles Google treats the two as one demand pool unless you give it a reason not to. Consistent local signals and pages that say something only a Clarksville business could say are what separate the 142,357-person market from the metro behind it.

What is actually costing you customers in Clarksville.
What it actually takes to rank in Clarksville
About 30% of local visibility sits on your site — profile, local pages, citations, schema — and we run all of it. The other 70% is earned off it: reviews, consistent details, real relevance to Clarksville. No agency can invent that half; we make earning it systematic.
We ran the numbers on Clarksville: 29% of page one is directories and 7 distinct domains share the rest. That is the gap — directories rank because nobody local has earned the position, and a complete profile plus real local pages takes it.
The work itself is the same five levers everywhere — local SEO, technical SEO, content, paid media and conversion work. What changes is the weighting, and in Clarksville that means local signals carry the most weight, because Nashville results bleed into Clarksville searches and a clearly local profile is what keeps you from being read as part of that metro.
