Case Study · Landscaping · Evansville, IN
Your Website Links to Three Different Domains. Customers Don't Know Which One Is Real — and Neither Does Google.
Bean's Landscape Plus — Evansville, IN · beanslandscapeplus.com
Internal links scatter to beanslandscapeplus.com, beans-lawn-care-plus.com, and beanslawncareplus.wordpress.com — three separate domains. WordPress login links are live in the footer.

The Evidence
Links on the current site point to three separate domains: beanslandscapeplus.com, beans-lawn-care-plus.com, and beanslawncareplus.wordpress.com. The footer still contains raw WordPress.com platform UI: login, sign up, and report content links.
Bean's Landscape Plus migrated from a WordPress.com site to a new domain at some point — but the migration was never finished. The current site still contains links pointing to the old domain and the original WordPress.com subdomain. The footer still displays WordPress platform UI that was never stripped out. Every visitor who clicks an internal link might end up somewhere unexpected, and Google sees three signals where there should be one.
The Business
Bean's Landscape Plus serves residential and commercial customers in the Evansville, Indiana area. The business is established with real customers and a real service history. But the website tells a confusing story — three different domains, platform UI that was never cleaned up, and a link structure that was never consolidated after a domain migration.
This is the kind of issue that compounds quietly over time. Every new backlink and citation might be going to the wrong domain. Every customer clicking “Services” might end up on an old WordPress URL with no context about what happened to the site.
What We Found
Internal Links Scatter to Three Separate Domains
beanslandscapeplus.com (current), beans-lawn-care-plus.com (an old domain), and beanslawncareplus.wordpress.com (the original WordPress site) all appear as link destinations on the current site. A customer clicking around may end up on a completely different URL — or a 404 with no explanation of where the business went.
WordPress Platform UI Is Exposed in the Footer
The footer still contains raw WordPress.com platform elements: login, sign up, and “report this content” links. These are platform artifacts from the original WordPress.com host that were never removed during migration. They make the site look unfinished at best — and suspicious at worst, since a customer who doesn't recognize them may wonder why a landscaping company is asking them to log in.
Three Domains Means a Split SEO Footprint
Every backlink, directory citation, and external reference pointing to any of the three domains is building authority for that domain — not the canonical current site. Google sees a fragmented signal instead of one clear authority. Years of accumulated backlinks and citations are being split across three properties that should have been consolidated long ago.
What We'd Fix
A clean, consolidated web presence on a single domain — no confusion for customers, no split authority for Google.
Audit and Consolidate All Internal Links to One Canonical Domain
Every link on the site points to beanslandscapeplus.com — no redirects to old URLs, no WordPress.com destinations, no broken paths. One domain, consistently, across every page and every link.
Strip All WordPress.com Platform UI From the Footer
Remove login, sign up, and “report content” links entirely. No platform fingerprints on a client-facing landscaping site. The footer should contain contact information and links to services — not a website builder's administrative UI.
Redirect and Consolidate the Domain Footprint
301 redirects from both old domains to the canonical URL. Every backlink, citation, and referral pointing to the old domains starts building authority for the right site instead of splitting it across three.

The Opportunity
Bean's Landscape Plus has been building a customer base and reputation in Evansville. The fragmented domain situation is quietly diluting all of that work — every backlink split across three properties, every customer potentially clicking to the wrong site. Consolidating to a single domain with clean internal links and stripped platform UI is a one-time fix that compounds over time.
Three domains, one confused customer. Google isn't impressed either.
