Our main website is geared toward the city where we are located and includes the city name in content page URLs. We also have separate websites for three surrounding cities; these websites have duplicate content except the city name:
MainWebsite.com
City2-MainWebsite.com
City3-MainWebsite.com
City4-MainWebsite.com
We're restructuring to eliminate the location websites and only use the main website. The new site will have city pages.
We have well established Google business locations for all four cities. We will keep all locations, replacing the location website with the main website.
Should we remove City-IL from all content page URLs in the new site? We don't want to lose traffic/ranking for City2 or City3 because the content pages have City1 in the URL. Page URLs are currently formatted as follows:
www.MainWebsite.com/Service-1-City1-IL.html
www.MainWebsite.com/Service-2-City1-IL.html
www.MainWebsite.com/Service-3-City1-IL.html
www.MainWebsite.com/Service-4-City1-IL.html
Thanks!
