Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks,

I have read the lower article and implemented some fixes to reduce my ttfb.

As per the comments above, do you have a recommendation for a better host, or a good CDN?

Thanks,

Anton

Thanks for the quick response,

I have read an article online that suggested that Cloudflare was bad for seo (it had a negative impact on that individuals rankings). Before reading it, I was planning to use Cloud Flare, but the article scared me off. Have you heard on anything like this.

As a result, I have been searching for an alternate CDN (like MaxCND)

Do you think CloudFlare would fix most of the issues you listed?

Thanks,

Anton

I run an agency called Web3 Marketing Inc. in beautiful Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. We have been very busy over the past few years, but now, with the lower price of oil, there is less work in our province. We are still busy, but are looking for new opportunities in the U.S.

We currently use the domain Web3.ca

The domain performs very well in Edmonton and has exceptional reviews (about 22 with a 5 star rating). Unfortunately, I am aware that a .ca will not rank well on Google.com for U.S. viewers. This leaves us with two options:

1. Re-brand Web3.ca completely (eg. brickwebdesign.com) and 301 redirect the .ca to a .com domain. This should give us a head start in the states.. last time I checked, this should redirect 90% of the authority to the new domain. However, theoretically, we would be risking our organic position for "Edmonton web design."

2. We start with a brand new domain. Considering how competitive the market for "web design," is in cities like Portland, San Fransisco and San Diago, this seems like a fairly daunting task. We will likely have to do a LOT of citation development and supplement it with paid advertising for a couple of years.

Outside of local address and phone number, do you guys have any comments about my options / strategy?

Which domain will perform better on google.com? californiaweb.co or webthreedesign.com ?

Hi,

We have 2 websites built for one client that has 2 companies running from the same physical location. Would having the same address listed on both websites affect their SEO rankings?

The 2 websites mentioned are linked below:
