Will this affect

Hi there!

I've got a question that I'm having trouble answering.

My client has one site url essentially has two sites within it. The homepage (name-photography.com) content focuses on her fashion photography services with a specific design and look with almost no mention of weddings unless you click the weddings icon. When you click on weddings, it takes you to a "new" site on the same url (name-photography.com/weddings) that has entirely different look and feel.

The client would like to improve her visibility for her wedding services and not the fashion photography side. Would it be more beneficial to house the wedding services on an entirely new URL so that homepage content can be wedding focused. Again, with the current homepage, it's all fashion photography focused and not easy to redo. Or could one implement a 301 redirect from the fashion homepage (name-photographer.com) to the wedding homepage (name-photographer.com/weddings)?

Thanks for your advice!

Why would you redirect? You could simply make the homepage focused on weddings, improve the on page content etc.

Of course, your client could also have a separate website for wedding photography, ensuring all content on the website was focused on that niche.

Thank you! They don't want to change their homepage content but I was leaning towards two domains as well.

Thanks for your input.

No problem.

It's important to ensure that your client doesn't see this as an opportunity to build a PBN (personal blog network) and build backlinks between all of the websites, this is caught very easily by Google etc.
