Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the replies guys! Some really good answers. I know that it will be harder, but I'm going to give it a go! As they are already getting a company.com domain and will retain the company.co.uk page the only reason for the CLIENT-NAME.co.uk page is as a personal landing page / portfolio page. It is worth seeing if I can rank their name in the USA. The domain is set up to rank for this already and is already ranking close to page one. I have seen other name based domains rank in both countries. I think it is worth the risk as I doubt my clients UK rankings (for their name) will be altered. They have scores of links and the content is well targeted. Once more, thanks for the advice! Net66

Hi Net66, Thanks for the further information. So - like an SEO or design firm, your client will basically have to make efforts to get as far as she can with organic. If she was actually an SEO, Google doesn't show those in Local anyway, but if she is competing with local businesses with physical addresses, no matter what she does, she is unlikely to be able to outrank them, but hopefully the work you do with her will enable her to come up below them. Half a loaf is better than none! Good luck. Miriam
