Can 2 sites co-exist in Webmaster under same owner?

He we have 2 website that have same exact content, both are redirect to one url. Is it safe to let google know by verifying both website with same ownership in webmaster tools?

thanks

Does content exist on both the websites ? Does one redirect to the other or are both of them indexed ? What kind of redirect ? I would essentially suggest to use Webmaster Console to use the change domain feature for the old domain from where you are moving content from to the new domain or I should say your main/preferred domain you want to keep in the SERPS.

Thank you for your quick response Nakul. Content do exist on both website and ther are identical to each other. This is what our client wants. We did the redirect from our hosting company but I assume they did a 301 redirect?

thanks

It's hard to say without looking at the URLs. You can either PM or post here so that you can have more concrete answer to this problem.

If both sites are needed for users, only one of them should be served to the BOTS, so decide the one you need indexed in the Search Engines and then you can do a cross domain canonical from one website to another if that makes sense.

I hope this helps. I can clarify further based on the URLs current situation.
