Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Patrick,

This is HUGELY helpful. Thank you.

We noticed today that 4 of the top referring sites are actually porn sites. Does anyone know what that is all about? Thanks!

Helps a ton!

Thanks for your input!

We are working with a client that has 2 different restaurants. One has been established since 1938, the other was opened in late 2012. Currently, each site has its own domain name. From a marketing/branding perspective, we would like to make the customers [web visitors] of the established restaurant aware of the sister restaurant. To accomplish this, we are thinking about creating a landing page that links to each restaurant. To do this, we would need to purchase a brand new URL, and then place each restaurant in a separate sub folder of the new URL. The other thought is to have each site accessed from the main new URL [within sub folders] and also point each existing URL to the appropriate sub folder for each restaurant. We know there are some branding and marketing hurdles with this approach that we need to think through/work out. But, we are not sure how this would impact their SEO––and assume it will not be good. Any thoughts on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, very helpful!

Each location is in the same city, does that change your response at all? And, is it OK if each landing page is within the same site with a separate URL, or should the landing pages be completely separate sites?

Thanks for the responses, they make sense.

Do you know if adding the name of location into the official company name will have any impact on SEO?

And, should we list the locations in the footer or on a "locations" page?

We are working with a client who will have multiple locations––same company, same services [for the most part], different location. They want each location to get picked up locally in the search engines.

What is the best way to handle the website and URLs?

One overarching website with a page for each location?
Separate Company Name with the town in each - "XYZ Company - Orlando"?
Have a separate URL with the town name for each location that points each location's page?
All addresses on each page in the footer?

Thanks.

We are working with a client to build a new website. They are asking if we should keep their existing blog or create a new one. If they keep the current blog, should we move it so we can incorporate it into their new site or keep it as a separate URL? Or, should we build the new site into the current blog––they are using Wordpress, so we would be able to build out the blog to incorporate the new website.

I appreciate the response.

Thank you for your response!

Thanks for your response!

A client has purchased many domains with keywords in each. They want to have us point each domain to their site for better SEO.  Is this a good or bad thing to do?
