Domain Rebranding Worth It?

Hi everyone,

I have an question about keywords and URLs. Although I work in marketing, I'm not very knowledgeable about SEO. Right now, I'm assisting a friend with her website.

The company is a local, service-based business that provides facility cleaning services (Gebäudereinigung) in Berlin, Germany. The current domain is "brandname - cleaning TLD" . However, compared to "facility cleaning", the term "cleaning" is rather broad and might be used to describe anything from laundry services to automobile detailing to house cleaning. It doesn't seem to be directly related to facility cleaning as a service.

So, the domain seems a little ambiguous to me.

If the keyword "facility cleaning services" were prominently displayed in the domain and aligned with the H1/H2, I think the SEO may be enhanced. I'm thinking of registering a more specialized domain, such as "brandname - facilitycleaningservice TLD," because of this.

The current domain is active since 2017, the website receives very little traffic. In Google Search Console, the website is ranked approximately at position 44. Since I started improving the site, it has improved by four positions.

Whats the take on this from a professional SEO?

Should I purchase a new domain such as " brandname - facilitycleaningservice TLD " to more accurately reflect the service?

What would be the best practice if I do proceed with a new domain?

Do I simply replace the domain in WordPress?

Or would it be wiser to install a fresh WordPress on the new domain, migrate the old site onto it, and redirect from the old domain?
My thinking is, a fresh install cloud give the site a algorithmic boost, as it would be seen as "new."

Any tips, best practices, or insights from experienced SEO managers would be wonderful!

Thanks in advance for your help!?

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
