Do duplicate street addresses on 2 website affect SEO?

[Web3Marketing87]

Hi,

We have 2 websites built for one client that has 2 companies running from the same physical location. Would having the same address listed on both websites affect their SEO rankings?

The 2 websites mentioned are linked below:

No problem !

We can imagine several companies in the same building for example, so there is no problem.

NB : Perhaps you could add a legal (and/or conditions of use) page on both website.

Agree with Nicolas, There should not be an issue at all. However, it may create a little confusion for your  customer search from Google places.

Hi Anton,

This is absolutely no problem at all. An example of this would be directories registration for Google Local optimization.

1 factor Google local takes into consideration when ranking websites is to scan the amount of times that the address appears in search results. This is the reason we optimize online directories which are essentially duplicates of your address on multiple sites.

For all intensive purposed I would say if is more likely to give a positive effect rather than a negative.

Hope that helps,

Thanks,

Stefan

Hi Anton,

Good question! To my eyes, these appear to be two legitimately unique companies. One installs windows and doors, and the other is selling blinds and curtains. I see you have separate phone numbers for the business, so checking that off my list. Good. Here are the 3 things I'd suggest you make certain of:

1. Be sure NO content is being shared between the two websites. Sometimes, businesses get a bit lazy about this. Audit both sites to be sure they aren't sharing content.

2. Beware of any linking strategy the companies may have undertaken to try to boost one another.

3. Be careful about Google categories. If possible, do not share Google categories between the two businesses. I mention this, because if you're using shared categories between two businesses at the same address, there is some chance that Google could mistake the intent and wrongly decide that this is really just one company trying to pose as two.

Those would be my 3 little provisos. Hope they help!
