Question about Google business page

May be a silly question but I`m setting a friend up with site and Google account for her business. She`s a yoga teacher and personal trainer. Her current Google business page describes her as a `yoga studio`. Now looking at Google business categories am I going to have a problem here? Ie would it make sense to setup 2 sites as the content differs? One for yoga, another for PT? Would having duplicate contact details cause issues?

She`d prefer to only have one site. Would having a site with content for 2 different services mess up the strength of SEO on each? Ie would she not rank as well against other yoga sites?

Note I appreciate G+ is different to SEO, it just sent alarm bells ringing.

Any advice would be great!

  • Tim Capper: Hi +Chris bullag ;

    I would have 1 website, that offers 2 services: Yoga and Fitness ( PT ) and of course she is 1 business that offers 2 services.

    They both fall within health, one site would have better authority over time then two, and you would need to maintain and market only 1 site / business.

    Under GMB guidelines, she can only have 1 business page as what you have described are services. Choose the most relevant category or a second category to include fitness instructor.
