      Hello,

      A client wants us to create a page on two different sites (www.brandA.com/content and www.brandB.com/content) with similar content and serve up specific content to users based on their IP addresses.

      The idea is that once a user gets to the page, the content would slightly change (mainly contact information and headers) based on their location. The problem I am seeing with this is that both brandA and brandB would be different Urls so there is a chance if their both optimized for the similar terms then they would both rank and crowd up the search results (duplicate content).

      Have you seen something similar? What are your thoughts and/or potential solutions?

      Also, do you know of any sites that are currently doing something similar?

        I would kill the weaker site, redirect it to the stronger, and attack with all my energy and effort going into a single site.

        Your current situation sounds like one guy trying to drive two cars at same time.

          Are you asking rather than having two site brandA.com & brandB.com is there a way to create brand.com and on that site display the content relevant to the visitors location? If not then I agree with EGOL
