When the user wants to optimize brand search for a company with multiple domains (e.g. parent company.com vs product.ai). Ensure the parent/company domain ranks first for brand queries. Also use when the user mentions "brand search," "multi-domain SEO," "company domain first," "parent vs product domain," "hub-spoke domain," "brand SERP control," or "differentiate company and product domains." For domain structure, use domain-architecture.
When a company has multiple domains (e.g., company.com and product.ai), ensure the company/main site ranks first for brand queries. Product sites focus on product keywords and do not compete for brand position. See domain-architecture for structure decisions; rebranding-strategy for domain change and migration.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
| Scenario | Description |
|---|---|
| Multiple domains | Company main site (company.com), product site (product.ai / product.io) |
| Brand query competition | Product site or third-party (Crunchbase, LinkedIn, reviews) may outrank main site for brand |

| Role | Domain | Responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Hub | company.com | Brand #1; About, Research, ecosystem, product matrix |
| Spoke | product.ai | Product keywords, features, pricing; visible "by [Company]" and link back to company.com |
| Dimension | Hub (company.com) | Spoke (product.ai) |
|---|---|---|
| Audience | Investors, partners, media, developers | Product users, prospects |
| Keywords | Brand name, company name, industry | Product features, use cases |
| Content | Mission, About, Research, Events, product matrix | Features, Use Cases, Pricing, Sign up |

"@type": "Organization",
"name": "[Company Name]",
"url": "https://www.company.com",
"description": "[Company description]",
"sameAs": ["https://linkedin.com/company/...", "https://github.com/..."],
"subOrganization": [
{
"@type": "SoftwareApplication",
"name": "[Product Name]",
"url": "https://product.ai",
"applicationCategory": "[Category]"
}
