      Hello,

      I have two Google accounts.

      Account1 is XYZ@gmail.com -  This account is used for Gmail, Blogger, Google Photo etc...

      Account2 is YXZ@companyname.com -  This account is where Adword, Google Analytics, Webmaster etc..

      I'd like to know the SEO best practice and how to use these two accounts.  I know that Google currently don't have account consolidation feature.  What are my options to merge these two account?   I already have the blogger site in GA and webmaster.

        Google Analytics can share or get the account itself to another user. You can use this process for have access to your stats in both accounts, or move the stats to the gmail one. But this is only valid if you have only this property on the account. You cannot get a property to another user, you need to give the entire account. Also, a google account can have multiple analytics account (The first number, for example, GA-XXXXXX), and a analytics account can have multiple properties (The second number, for example, GA-XXXXXX-1). You can give access to another user to any property or a complete account, but you can only give the entire account to another user (For changing owner).

        Webmaster tools, also, allows multiple users to have access to their stats. You only need to authorize the another account, or validate as a separate one.

        There's no difference at SEO level for using one or two google accounts. If you like to get all your services in only one account, you can only do it with your gmail account, because you cannot move or authorize gmail for other users. Also, you can mantain the two accounts, and access to all services with gmail one, because services as adwords, analytics, adsense, webmaster and others leave you the option to authorize more users.
