Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have a client who has asked for the development and optimisation of three websites for a business located at one address.  They offer specialised skin care, have a make-up artistry division and also a luxury portraiture/photographic service offered to clients.  I have suggested one website, based on all I have read in this community (Possum etc.). Their concern is that they will seem like a "master of none" and envision three sites interlinked.  Before I push back and categorically say that this is a poor idea, I wanted to gain some insight from those of you who may have dealt with this scenario before.  I need to explain how one domain can be structured to present all three these areas as distinct, given that the home page will speak to all three.  Any ideas regarding site structure and optimisation strategy would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have to choose between a country specific domain name that is long and difficult to remember, vs or a .me domain which is short and contains the exact keywords I'm optimising for.  The challenge is that I'm only targeting local search traffic for the service I am advertising.  Does a country specific domain name have any benefits in terms of weighting when I'm only interested in traffic from that country?
