Goodmorning to all
I'm starting selling with prestashop but i have a question on Seo and i would like to hear some opinion
Now we are selling in a website.it that is 17 years old and we start ten years ago with ecommerce
with a differrent CMS
The domain is .it and the items are presented in italian and in english, but consider that our touraround is 90% from customer outside Italy
I'm thinking to make this change:
1- go on like now in prestashop with two languages in the same domain website.it and use tag hreflang
2- when i switch to prestashop set it like multistore with the italian pages in website.it and english pages on website.com (a domain that we have buy 1 year ago) and make a redirect 301 for the english pages of the old website
3-Go online like the first point and make the change of point 2 after the search engine get all the new changes
My question is how is a problem the domain .it for international sales and how much the history of the domain is important, the pages transfered to the new domain will get the old rank bur the new pages generated in the domain.com which rank will have?
I hope i clear
