Should I combine my businesses?

A question I’ve gotten a couple times in the past is whether or not my clients should combine their businesses on their website. It just happened in fact.

To make it simple I’ve put some examples below. The Examples with an X should use two separate websites, and the examples with YES, can combine the businesses in their marketing/brand.

Examples:

x Barbecue and home design

x Jewelery and Chinese Food Recipes

x Furniture and Dental Tips Blog

x Fashion and Real Estate

yes – Makeup and hair

yes – Event and catering (food)

yes – Blog/author/speaker/influencer/public figure

yes – eCommerce store that is relevant to your service (Merch)

yes – blog that is relevant to your service
