  • Jon Dunn: I'm struggling to make any sense from this? Do you want 3 companies featured on one domain?
  • Rounak Baral: If I read your question right then yes you can
    
  • damian orwin: HI John, I have 1 factory address , but would like to have 3 domains in local search using the same address. ;
    Thanks Rounak.
  • Dumb SEO Questions: I think the plan is bound to end in tears, Damian. You can still achieve multiple listings for a single site if it's the best match for the query. I am not an expert but if it were me, I would focus my attentions on a single site and 301 the other two sites to the primary domain assuming they have good histories.
  • Richard Brus: Are the 3 domain all in the same niche? Or are these 3 domain representative of 3 legitimate stand alone businesses that happen to be trading from the same address.? Are the 3 domain pointing to 3 separate stand alone websites, or are they just redirects?

    Yes this can be done under a grouped location listing if it's legitimate. Google does recognise that multiple listings can come from the same address. But the businesses are usually unrelated and owned by different people. And there's usually no footprints like the sites all being hosted with the same c-class ip's etc.

    If this is grey-hat and your trying to rank for multiple areas using Google local your better off building local keyword optimised pages on your own site. This is much safer and better in the long run. It's a little more work at the start. Better to spend time on your own site than trying to game local search.
  • damian orwin: Hi Guys,

    Thanks for the advice, All are in the 1 niche, but registered as different companies with asic, I am the director os them all., The 3 websites are on the same server atm. ;

    I will go with the first plan and put the 1 location for 1 website and have local internal pages for the other 2 sites,

    Thanks to everyone that help!

    Cheers,
