  Girish Kapoor: Hi,
  
  I have one real estate website. I won't to keep the home page, contact us page etc in my own wordpress account under my domain. Problem is our back office software provider needs also to manage the site to deliver our property search results.
  
  I could keep example.co.uk and use property.example.co.uk for the property search results.
  
  The software company are suggesting this method will hurt the SEO and I should leave the whole site with them for management. Trouble is they take a while to make changes when I can login to wordpress do it myself.
  
  The keywords we are going for are not very competitive plus I intend to develop our blog if I can continue to maintain most of the site.
  
  What do you think? Should I be persuaded that to get good SEO let them run the whole site or should I keep the site and just let them provide the property search results under a sub domain.
