One content database – multiple domains

    I have a real estate domain SEO optimized for a specific province. We also have listings for neighboring provinces and we also own domain names for those provinces. Those domain names are currently pointed to province1.com.

    Our SEO for real estate searched using the names of those other provinces is really low (we cannot SEO optimize province1.com for all provinces). We want to create SEO optimized websites for each of the other provinces and point them to the same database so that we only have to maintain the single listing database.

    So, province2.com, province3.com, etc. would each point to the listings database of province1.com and the listings which would display would be filtered for just the relevant province.

    province1.com is a wordpress website. We presume other provinces will also be WordPress, but can be whatever works. Province1.com is hosted with GoDaddy.

    What is required to make this happen?

    I think your best best might be to use redirects from the province specific domains to a global domain because you’ll most likely never have enough domain authority for province2.com and province3.com. It’ll be better for you to invest in building SEO strength and optimizing one domain (inbound links, etc) which will help your province specific pages rank higher than having them on fresh province domains. This plugin can help with managing the redirects – https://wordpress.org/plugins/safe-redirect-manager/

    If you want to go forward with having multiple domains, you can use MU Domain Mapping and “Disable the Primary Domain Check” which will allow you to point and serve pages from multiple domains on the same site. https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/
