Will This Affect My Website Brand Keyword Ranking?

mystique_blue · Jun 15, 2023

Need advice:

I have 1 main site and 9 more affiliate sites for my brand, I came out with 10 sites with same wordpress template and same design but all NEW & UNIQUE content.
The reason I do so is to rank all the 10 website under the brand keyword on 1st page in Google.
Will this make any sense on the ranking with all unique content but same template & design?

I wouldn't call all 10 websites having the same template and design optimal - but if you have unique content maybe you'll be ok. I know working with just one theme across all websites is great for reusability and maintenance. I would probably try using different hosting for the websites tho.

Same theme/design would appear suspicious especially if you were able to achieve your aim of dominating the top 10 with your sites.

You comp going to burn all your sites at once, if you got any.

I think having unique content but the same template and design across multiple sites may not significantly improve ranking, as search engines prioritize diverse and high-quality content along with other ranking factors.

Yeah that works, that's what ive seen brands do to get massive traffic for their brands.
It's very fun to see the top 10 sites look the same, promoting the same brand

As per my understanding, if you have unique content it is fine but, the website uses the same server and the theme has bugs, is not well structured, and is not optimized which causes potential issues using the same theme on multiple websites can slow page load times and poor mobile optimization, and it will affect the user experience which will lead to a low ranking of the website.

Using same template and design on 10 different sites is a footprint. If google find anything suspicious, it will affect your site for sure. Also, don't put your main site under risk. Sometimes it will affect your main site and brand keywords. So, use unique templates and designs for all the sites.

Same template and design will make your main site in risk. So, just use different template and design for all 10 if possible.
