Multiple websites with contracting themes
- SEO |
Go easy on me, I am a noob plus it is my birthday.
My father and I have an electrical contracting business. He holds the state license for 40 years and I am attempting to get my own. It is a family business, so every day is a struggle. Nevertheless, nearly all his previous customers in the commercial and industrial field are dead, out of business, or retired. I have drug him into the Internet age so to speak.
I had a very half assed web page that was worth virtually nothing. I drug my feet and tried to save money and do it myself for years. I paid for that with my ambivalence and procrastination.
During that time, I went crazy grabbing up domain names that I thought were good for electrical contracting and other trades. Most were specialized versions of electrical contracting like industrial, fire code violations, etc....
I figured that I could do some type of specialty site for parking lot lighting, etc... My thinking was that people look for a specialist instead of a generalist. So it would be best to hit them with an arrow instead of a shotgun blast, establish a relationship, and then inform them I could also do x, y, and z for them.
This is before I did any reading of how IM really works. I paid to have a main site done and am happy with it for my electrical business. But I have dozens of specialty domain names all parked on host gator with a hello world from Pagelines on it.
What do I do with them? Make them specialty sites? Make them squeeze pages? Convert them to mobile sites for the specialty themes? My customers are different, I rarely do residential but don't care to ignore that market. I do tenant fit outs like Gamestop or Dunkin Donuts. I do parking lot lighting for supermarkets like Shop Rite and Bottom Dollar. I do electric machine repair for plants as well as insurance safety issue compliance.
My main page that I paid for is doing well with seo for my area and rises frequently with my blog entries and facebook and google plus intertwined together.
I actually am attempting to do all my marketing in my own company and use it to pay my benefits, etc...
So will the fickle hand of google punish my main site with any other with my name or offer on it? or it is how it is set up to make it work to my advantage?
Thanks for your help again in advance.
