Will I get penalised from an SEO perspective for having redirects.
-
So we are planning redirect all these
https://blue-company.com.au/
https://www.blue-company.com.au/
http://blue-company.com.au/to this
https://www.bluecompany.com.au/
If we do this, will it have an negative impact on our SEO, is there any downside to this? or get penalised from Google etc?

@rodrigor777 That is a common approach, and not cause for any kind of penalty. If these domains never really existed as pages on the web with inbound links, then the simple redirect to the desired domain's home page may be fine. If they did exist, and if there are pages indexed from these other domains, then you will want to redirect appropriately for each page, rather than pointing all to the home page.

Personalization software and SEO
Hi guys, I'm just testing a personalization software in our website, basically changing the "location" text depending on the user's IP. I can see in my software that when the Google bot comes to our site the personalization software triggers an action changing the location based text to "California". Can this make Google understand that our website targets only users in California and thereof hurt our rankings in other locations nationwide? I'll appreciate your opinions.

Domain redirect
Recently we launched a site under a new domain, the site is doing well under the URL. Client calls me today and would like to have another domain he owns point to the new site. The domain he has has no history and no content. He is under the impression that people are looking for him by typing in www.domainxyz.com. I attempted to explain otherwise to him, but I lost. Question, what are the drawbacks of taking this domin and doing a perm redirect via . Httpaccess file?

A client will be translating their entire site into French in addition to English. For SEO purposes, should I host it on the same domain or create its own dedicated domain?
The current site is a long-standing site with good authority and a good number of links. Thanks....
