Premium domain name redirects

Hi, I run a tree surgery business - woodfeldertreecare.co.uk
We're based in Manchester, UK. A few days ago I was called by Premium Domain Names who convinced me that buying treesurgeonsmanchester.com and treesurgerymanchester.com and redirecting them to our main site would be amazing for organic traffic.
My designer and an SEO friend both reckon this was a waste of money and reckon I've been scammed.
Any thoughts? Please help.

Any thoughts? Please help.Hello,
It's not uncommon for businesses to consider buying premium domain names to potentially boost organic traffic. However, the efficacy of this strategy depends on various factors, and it's crucial to evaluate the potential benefits before making such purchases.
In your case, acquiring domains like treesurgeonsmanchester.com and treesurgerymanchester.com could potentially help capture search traffic specifically looking for tree surgery services in Manchester. However, there are important considerations:
SEO Impact:
While having keyword-rich domains can be beneficial for SEO, it's not a guarantee for improved rankings. Google's algorithms are sophisticated and prioritize content quality and relevance over domain names.
Duplicate Content:Redirecting these domains to your main site might lead to duplicate content issues if the content is identical. Search engines may penalize websites for duplicate content, affecting your overall SEO.
Relevance:Ensure that the redirected domains are relevant to your business and not misleading. Users should find the content they expect when clicking on the domain.
Scam Alerts:Be cautious about unsolicited calls or offers, especially if they pressure you into making quick decisions. Scammers often use high-pressure tactics. Verify the legitimacy of the service provider and the value they bring to your business.
Consult with SEO Experts:If your SEO friend is skeptical, it's worth seeking additional opinions from reputable SEO experts. They can provide insights into the potential impact on your website's performance and whether the investment aligns with your business goals.
Cost-Benefit Analysis:Evaluate the cost of purchasing and maintaining these domains against the potential benefits in terms of increased organic traffic and business visibility.
In conclusion, while premium domains can have their merits, it's essential to approach such decisions cautiously. Verify the legitimacy of the service you've engaged with, assess the potential SEO impact, and consider consulting with SEO professionals for a comprehensive analysis. Additionally, if you feel you've been scammed, it's advisable to report the incident and take appropriate action to protect your business interests.

Hello @LeoTrees, I am also thinking to buy an expired domain for my current new website Web Care Point. I want to buy a high DR domain and make a redirection to Web Care Point. Will it be good for my website?

Is it Ok to have multiple domains (separate website different content) rank for similar keywords?
Is it 'OK' to have multiple domains in the following instance? Does Google actively discourage multiple (but completely different sites) domains from the same company appearing in the search results for the same and or similar keywords if the content is slightly different? This is where the 'main site' has the details, and you can purchase product, and the second site is a blog site only. We are creating a separate content blogsite; which would be on a second domain that will be related to one portion of content on main site. They would be linking back and forth, or maybe the blog site would just link over to the main site so they can purchase said product. This would be a similar scenario to give you an idea of how it would be structured: MAIN SITE: describes a few products, and you can purchase from this site SECOND SITE, different domain: a blog site that contains personal experiences with one of the products. BOTH sites will be linked back and forth....or as mentioned maybe the blog site could just link over to the 'main site' Logo would be a modified version of the main logo and look and feel of the sight would be similar but not exactly the same. MORE INFO: the main site has existed for way over 10 years, starting to gain some traction in an extremely competitive market, but does not rank super high, is gaining traction due to improvements in speed, content, onpage SEO, etc... So in addition to my main question of is this 'ok' to have this second domain, also will it hurt the rankings or negatively affect the 'main' site? Wondering about duplicate content issues, except it will be slightly different...

Odd one - dropping positions but traffic improving
Seem to have a bit of an odd one. For the last few months been running a backlink campaign for a 2/3 year old site, got good positions for some keywords/pages but seems to have plateaued the last 60 days or so with some keywords dropping in position.
Link Building | | seoman10
The odd thing is traffic seems to be still improving (according to GA and GSC). I am wondering if - have hit a niche ceiling
or rankbrain type thing i.e. google trying to work out what the site should be ranking for and messing with positions.
or because it is just a newish site. Any ideas?2 -

How to Incorporate Awkward Keyword Phrases
Certain keywords are good choices for my website (high CTR, low difficulty, high volume), but they would be very awkward to use in my website content. For example, "therapist near me" is a popular search term, but it would be very strange for me to use those words in that order in my content (I am a therapist). Any thoughts about this are welcome.
