If i separate my website into two different websites to sell two different types of items, (so that i can include keywords in the domain name to help with organic placement) Do i need two different credit cards for PPC? Or can i use the same credit card information for both websites?

Thread follow-up for — short, practical guidance and things to test before you launch two domains with PPC. Replies from and point in the right direction; below are the tradeoffs, setup steps, and pitfalls that matter for search ads today.

If both websites are the same business, a single PPC account with two separate campaigns (one per site) is usually simpler: shared audiences, easier remarketing, unified reporting, and straightforward conversion comparison. Separate accounts make sense when the sites are legally separate, require distinct invoices/currencies, or need wholly different admin access. For campaigns in one account, create distinct conversion actions for each site and tag each landing page so conversions attribute to the correct domain.

Billing and invoicing options vary by platform and by country. For accounting and audit reasons many advertisers use separate billing profiles or a manager (MCC) account to get consolidated invoices while keeping child accounts organized. Check the advertising platform’s billing settings before you finalize structure so invoices, tax info, and payment methods match how you need to report costs.

Location targeting and extensions are driven by campaign settings plus any Google Business Profile (GBP) data you link. If the two sites share one phone/address but represent different services or brands, avoid confusing users by:

  • setting call extensions at the campaign level and using unique call-tracking numbers per site,
  • creating separate GBP entries only when there are real, separate storefronts,
  • using campaign-level location targeting and exclusions, then testing with the ad preview/location simulation tools.

Quick checklist before going live: verify each domain in analytics/Search Console, set up cross-domain or gclid-compatible tracking for accurate attribution, create distinct conversion actions and reporting views, test geotargeting and call routing, and confirm landing pages meet ad network policies and quality standards.
