Hi Moz Community,
I am quite new to the community and first I'd like to thank you for the great quality content I found here in the hundreds of threads that i browsed recently, thanks for sharing your experience !
Context
We are a high quality small boat builder based in France and shipping worldwide, selling direct to consumer through our website.
we have a domain : reversoproject.com written in french
That domain has a** DA of 30**, almost 6 years age and very serious backlinks from major (french) news sites
However, we never worked our SEO and we only rank for our product name or brand name
1 year ago, I launched **sailreverso.com ** : a different domain but same content, written in english
But I realized that we would struggle in getting close to our reversoproject.com DA
Also, we plan on both french and english content a total restructuration of nav, UX, architecture and onsite SEO
️ I am considering hosting back both english and french site on reversoproject.com for domain authority purpose** **
**
️ I am considering switching languages : reversoproject.com would be the global site, in english and reversoproject.com/fr would be the french site **
can we expect to keep our DA ( regarding domain age and strong backlinks)
Do you see other options that we might consider ?
Many thanks in advance for your insights !
greetings from France
Antoine
