Different websites for different sevices ?
« on: May 18, 2010, 06:08:19 pm »
I currently provide three different services-

window cleaning,

gutter clearing,

and upvc cleaning,

Is it better to have three different websites with different domain names for maximum exposure on google etc ?   Thanks in advance for advice  ;D

You can have different URL's all pointing to a different page on the same site and then they see the different services you offer.

I do see what your saying about more potential web coverage but i would of thought having the one site with all services on would be better and more professional ,surely all your services are all related to each other and come as  a job lot.
Aswell as that you would have all the extra costs.

Ask John Garnett how it works for him. He has 3, and he seems to be doing very well from them:

We also have many different websites.

So do many large corporate companies. It works. We do. And it is working for us.

maybe start with one, then when it is at a good spot start making separate sites for each service. the reason people go against it is simply because you have to promote say 3/4 different sites, which means 3/4 times the amount of seo work.

in my opinion it works best if the services don't go so well together, e.g. domestic cleaning and commercial cleaning are better separated, but perhaps the 3 you have listed complement each other and may get you more work, e.g. customer comes looking to have windows cleaned, then sees that you do a great job on patio cleaning which they hadn't previously thought about but now have as the images shown a massive difference for decent price, then also books that in.

all of it ;) as such. all our customers (unless they're recommendations) go to our website through whatever advertising we do, then contact us. we're currently doing no other advertising, but it's very high on the to do list as i know we're missing out on potential clients, just didn't want to do it until we had other things sorted, which they now are :)
