Moving my site to one domain name .com from 3

[edward-may]

Hi Guys,

I'm ranking really well for my domains in my local geo - im wondering if it will be more effective if i moved the co.nz and com.au over to the .com - the only thing is will i still see my com.au and co.nz results on the .com?

Hi Justin

As the old saying goes: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

If you're ranking well already, I'd keep things as they are and give yourself a pat on the back!

The TLD itself (.com, .com.au etc) has very little, if any, impact on how your website performs.  Other factors such as the onsite optimisation, link profile, NAP presence and citations etc would all have a greater effect.

Each site migration comes with its element of risk.  My main thought here is that you won't want to jeopardise your rankings unless there is a compelling business reason for wanting to do the migration.

Hi Justin

Tom raises a lot of great points here - if you are doing well for the areas you are targeting, let the good times roll and keep doing what you're doing, you're in a great position! Keep it up!

Did you take advantage of the country targeting for each site and hreflang tags / language tags that were mentioned in previous Q+As of yours?

Congrats on your hardwork so far! Good luck!
