Mastering Multi-Site SEO with Johnny Hughes

"Multi-site SEO isn’t just about optimizing sites in isolation; it’s about creating a cohesive digital presence that makes each domain work together to elevate rankings and conversions." In his recent SEJ article, Johnny Hughes explores the strategies that help brands leverage multi-site SEO for maximum visibility and engagement.

In a recent article published on Search Engine Journal, our CMO, Johnny Hughes, shared insights on mastering multi-site SEO—a complex but transformative strategy, especially for brands managing multiple domains or subdomains. The piece covers key strategies, including the importance of a cohesive architecture, audience-specific content silos, and rigorous technical SEO.

Key Takeaways for Brands:

  1. Unified Domain Strategy: Hughes emphasizes selecting a domain structure that prevents internal competition while consolidating SEO authority, such as subdomains for targeting distinct audiences.
  2. Audience Segmentation with Content Silos: The article details how targeted content silos enhance relevance and user engagement by aligning each segment with specific audience needs, improving visibility.
  3. Continuous Optimization and Testing: Ongoing A/B testing and cross-domain tracking were essential to measure engagement across subdomains and adjust for maximum impact.
