As James says, i can see the case where we should hide the address, the self-unimployers usually works at home, and sometimes we don´t want to put our own home, but we must find a solution and put some address to get the most of Google Business

Preserve domain on 301 redirect?
Hi Jazee, I'm afraid that is not possible. What you can do is "play" with the Page title of the www.repairshop.com/bmwrepairs. Something like this BMW - Repairs That way you will be calling the attention on what you truly wish. On the other hand, it seems to have more sense to redirect the other way. A 301 carries the rank, either good or a bad one. Mª Verónica B.

One website with multiple advertising domains?
The domains in question are brand new and have no website associated with them. As I described, they are just being used for advertising to certain audiences. Essentially instead of using subdomains (department.domain.com) or sub folders domain.com/department, I want to use domaindepartment.com so I can print domaindepartment.com on business cards and those recipients when they go to domaindepartment.com they will be redirect to the department section of domain.com

Set Placeholder Page ASAP or Wait For Full Website?
I don't believe that it "hurts" to put up a temporary site. However, if it subtracts from your time of getting your real site up then that is a sacrifice. I would rather put up the first few pages of my real site a day or two early than get a temporary site up a week before. The only exception is that I would want something up ASAP if I knew that important people were looking for me.

One domain or two for one company with two lines of business?
Hi Jazee, At the end of the day, this ultimately comes down to what you think is best for the company. I do agree with the other answers that building these out as two separate sites could be a better option. And I am going to add on a few more factors that I think you should consider before making this decision. Because the services are so different, you will be able to get target the website (think: backlink outreach) if the website is on one specific topic rather than focusing on multiple services. However, if these are on one website, you should be able to grow the domain authority more quickly because in theory you could have double the amount of backlinks (link from websites for each service) linking to the one domain.

Embedding Video for SEO? YouTube, Vimeo, or Wistia?
That's a great article but although he breaks the goals into three nice little categories, the reality is that many businesses may want equal emphasis on all three goals (brand awareness, consideration & advocacy, conversion) so it still leaves things pretty 'gray' in my opinion. So let me give a specific example to focus this thread a bit more narrowly. Let's say the business is brand new so there's no brand recognition and the website has just been launched. And let's say its a photography business where the business' work portfolio is KEY in really all three areas at this point (branding, consideration, and conversion). It seems the article is recommending that if you're new, and your video content is important for consideration & conversion, then you should FIRST privately embed it on your website (via Wistia). After your site starts to rank well (which could take a LONG time), THEN create a Business YouTube Channel. Although YouTube has such high domain authority, I would think you would still risk having your YouTube videos rank higher than your website. But can you not embed lots of branding into your Youtube videos, right? Like links to your website within the video. So if your business is based around producing images (photography and video) maybe it would be the best strategy to do both approaches simultaneously and not delay the YouTube Channel building.
