  2d: How about creating a spanish version of your website?

  Michael Phillip: Riviera Farha I`ve thought of that. But I guess what we`re trying to get around is that the website as it is now, has my name in the URL and thus all the marketing. We would love to have her name associated with our team as well, especially for marketing where her last name along will help draw in Spanish speakers.

  Stockbridge Truslow: If you are using Wordpress - then something like this would let you have one web site - with translated versions of each page - which is nice because it keeps everything in one place and generally something you do to help one helps the other too. (They`re the same site after all). https://wpml.org/
  
  If you are using some other platform - they usually have similar solutions available either for free or for a reasonable price.

  Michael Phillip: Stockbridge Truslow Yes, I`m using WP and will look into that plugin. Thanks! But we are also considering changing the URL, as it is currently only has my name and we would like to have a domain name/business name that highlights us both, as it will likely appeal to more Spanish speakers.

  Stockbridge Truslow: You can do that too. I would probably do it in two steps... add the new domain and redirect the old domain to the new one first - so that every page lines up with every page. It`s a one-to-one change. When you do that - race around the web and update all your social media profiles, any links and mentions you have around the web (that you can control) to point to the new domain name.
  
  THEN while Google is taking a month or so to figure that out you can be working on the new site in a staging environment and then open it up once it`s ready and once Google (and your clients) are all used to the new URL.

  Nikki-Jason Christiansen: You could also just rebrand your website for the both of you, and translate the content. And then get a new domain name and do a URL forward. Its the short and easy way. But you will not get any SEO value from the forward.
