Hello guys and thanks for reading. I need some expert seo advice for the following situation: We deal with second hand car parts and our current website is a simple, car listing, website. We plan to update to Wordpress. We also want to create an online shop for auto parts using Shopify. We have 2 choices: Go separate ways with both websites, one as a online shop, and the other as a blog, creating links to the store. Merge the websites, this will require rebranding of the first website, changing the domain, contact information on Google my Business, implement redirects, etc.. I need to point out that the current website has relatively low traffic but it’s great for local search, so i don’t want this to be effected. So what do you think? I really appreciate your advice, Thanks!
If you do any change in website then that will effect on ranking positive and negative If URL structure change then your old ranking will disturb, so its upto you If you make 2 separate websites for business then you need to do double work for local business just focus on local directories and google listing
