      Hi, I run a tree surgery business - woodfeldertreecare.co.uk

      We're based in Manchester, UK. A few days ago I was called by Premium Domain Names who convinced me that buying treesurgeonsmanchester.com and treesurgerymanchester.com and redirecting them to our main site would be amazing for organic traffic.

      My designer and an SEO friend both reckon this was a waste of money and reckon I've been scammed.

      Any thoughts? Please help.

          Hello,

          It's not uncommon for businesses to consider buying premium domain names to potentially boost organic traffic. However, the efficacy of this strategy depends on various factors, and it's crucial to evaluate the potential benefits before making such purchases.

          In your case, acquiring domains like treesurgeonsmanchester.com and treesurgerymanchester.com could potentially help capture search traffic specifically looking for tree surgery services in Manchester. However, there are important considerations:

          SEO Impact:

          While having keyword-rich domains can be beneficial for SEO, it's not a guarantee for improved rankings. Google's algorithms are sophisticated and prioritize content quality and relevance over domain names.
          Duplicate Content:

          Redirecting these domains to your main site might lead to duplicate content issues if the content is identical. Search engines may penalize websites for duplicate content, affecting your overall SEO.
          Relevance:

          Ensure that the redirected domains are relevant to your business and not misleading. Users should find the content they expect when clicking on the domain.
          Scam Alerts:

          Be cautious about unsolicited calls or offers, especially if they pressure you into making quick decisions. Scammers often use high-pressure tactics. Verify the legitimacy of the service provider and the value they bring to your business.
          Consult with SEO Experts:

          If your SEO friend is skeptical, it's worth seeking additional opinions from reputable SEO experts. They can provide insights into the potential impact on your website's performance and whether the investment aligns with your business goals.
          Cost-Benefit Analysis:

          Evaluate the cost of purchasing and maintaining these domains against the potential benefits in terms of increased organic traffic and business visibility.
          In conclusion, while premium domains can have their merits, it's essential to approach such decisions cautiously. Verify the legitimacy of the service you've engaged with, assess the potential SEO impact, and consider consulting with SEO professionals for a comprehensive analysis. Additionally, if you feel you've been scammed, it's advisable to report the incident and take appropriate action to protect your business interests.

            Hello @LeoTrees, I am also thinking to buy an expired domain for my current new website Web Care Point. I want to buy a high DR domain and make a redirection to Web Care Point. Will it be good for my website?

                Should I keep my existing site or start new?

                redirects urlredirect optimization site structure business

                I have a website with less than 3K visits a year. Only customers with an Account with me who have login credentials can see my product pricing and make a purchase onsite; therefore, indexing/page ranking is not a concern for me. My agency suggests that my product catalog be corrected to a parent/child relationship. Currently, each product variation has its own SKU and PDP. As a result, product findability: Site Search, Categorization, and Facets are a mess. Is there any way I can keep my current URL (branding purposes)? I thought we could delete all pages (PLPs & PDPs) and create all new and enforce 301 redirects. Thoughts?

                Should I split long form content?

                seo tactics content development optimization

                I have quite a long content on my site. By length I mean around 8000-9000 words. I optimized it to cover almost all searches related to a topic. But this length makes me uneasy for some reason. I do not think that users will find what they are looking for in such a long content. However, I don't want to neglect the SEO aspect of the content. I can talk about something like this without sharing the keywords completely: Title + for girls Title + for boys Title + for kids Title + for girlfriend Title + for boyfriend Title + for students As I said, in the current situation, these are all sub-headings (H2) of 8000-9000-word content. When I make a separate content for each of them, I can bring them all closer to 1500-2000 words. However, I am undecided whether this is the right step in terms of SEO and content optimization. What are your views?

                Multiple URLs from One Domain on Page 1

                multiple urls

                Is it possible (and if it is possible, how difficult is it) to get multiple URLs from the same domain name to be indexed on the first page of Google for the same keyword or phrase? Assuming each URL has significantly different content of course... Context: A large real estate brand has 6 franchise offices in the same city. Each office has its own listing/landing page on the parent brand website. Each franchise owner wants their page on the website to rank for the term 'Christchurch real estate'. The homepage of the parent brand website currently ranks on the first page of Google for this search term, but none of the franchisee pages do. So my question is: with the right unique content on each franchisee page, supported by quality backlinks to each of the different offices, is it possible to get multiple franchisees listed on the first page of Google given that ultimately the 6 URLs are all attached to the same domain name? (And, if so, do you have any hot tips you can share to assist me on this uphill battle?)
