Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Upon a basic inspection using Google and keywords, neither site appears to be ranking, except for Google local business page. And that is so far for only one specific keyword. Where one website shows and the others Google+ page does. From looking at the replies and doing more reading on this I have 2 options. 1. Make 1 site the only site and redirect the others to it. Create landing pages for each suburb serviced with unique content 2. Recreate each site with unique content with a link to the other sites. Essentially remove most if not all duplicate content (words and images) Am I correct? And if the group wishes to keep the individual business names option 2 would be best ? Cheers

Thanks Rick. When you say unless links are involved what do you mean?

Ok thank you. That's what I have been doing, examining the returned results. And it appears to me that Google does indeed treat the wording differently, it doesn't change the result much though. Where keywords used by people finding this business lack the connector words the content of the site needs to use them for text to make sense and flow. I was looking for a way to at least link the phrasing to help keep the page ranking. Any suggestions ?
