Why not add utm parameters (Google URL Builder tool) to the redirect URL? These will get passed over to the new domain and you can then take a look at the Acquisition > Campaigns > All Campaigns report in Google Analytics.

Best practice would be to create a sub-directory (yoursite.com/blog/) if you can. Otherwise, create a sub-domain (blog.yourdomain.com).
You could use a reverse proxy to add the WordPress blog to a sub-directory. Here are some step-by-step instructions. This method may not solve your issue of team bandwidth.
You could create a sub-domain on domain y and then add an A record in the domain x DNS settings which points the IP address of domain y. Example instructions from GoDaddy

RE: Google creating it own contentposted in Algorithm Updates
Google first announced these Google Medical Cards in September 2015. Back on May 24, Barry Schwartz wrote about the inclusion of the downloadable PDFs here. Google is trying to create "quick answers" so the user does not need to click through the SERPs to a third-party website. So expect more Knowledge panels and Quick Answer Boxes to appear.

A few recommendations for your http://www.westcoastflenterprises.com/#!roofing/bbb1e (just know there is more you should be doing)...
- There are multiple H1 tags being used on the page. There needs to be only one H1 tag (you can have multiple H2-6). The H tags set the hierarchy of the content. I would recommend adding a variation of your targeted term to the H1 tag. Right now the two H1 tags are, "West Coast" and "Florida Enterprises".
- I would recommend targeting this page for Fort Myers as this is where your physical business is located.
- Create individual secondary pages targeting the other cities. Make sure you are incorporating the city name + service in the H tags.
- I would also break out "Flat Roof", "Metal Roofs", "Tile Roofs", and "Shingle Roofs" into individual topical pages.
