Hi,
I have read so many very helpful guides and experiences from you guys that will greatly help me but I have a few questions please.
Our company has 3 sites, the main site and 2 sites for different product ranges:
- BrandProductName.com (main site - DA = 22 raking well for product name)
- Productname2.com (DA = 10 ranking very well for product name and little competition)
- BrandProductName3.com (DA = 10 poor ranking)
We wish to bring all the sites into one with categories for the 3 different product. The main site is an e-commerece site whereas the other 2 are not (currently).
On top of this as the main domain has one of the product names in it they wish to change the domain to be just Brandname.com.
So the plan is to combine site 2 and 3 into site 1 and change that domain name. As you can imagine this is going to be quite a job. I am fairly happy with the steps required (having read all the guides and migrated many sites in the past) but with the added domain name change this is a little daunting.
So my questions are:
- Should I merge the 3 sites into 1 and then changed the domain at a later point?
- Should I change the domain of the main site first and then merge site 2 and 3 in later?
- Should I just do it all together?
Or based on the data i have provided do you disagree with the plan, what would you recommend?
We are not in a massive rush to complete all of this so we have the time to plan and execute this when we are fully ready.
Any help / advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all
