Hi,
I work for one club chain, trouble is, their flag clubs have own websites with own www domain which is I don't think good for SEO and google results. I want to also put all those locations under one company in Google My Business.
What is the best way to merge all of those websites and roof them under one domain?
I was thinking to make url i.e. like:
Do you think is this a good idea?
Thank you.

I would recommend having a look at brewery websites as an example, most will have separate websites for the pubs that have loose branding connected to the brewery and subtle links back to the brewery. example : http://www.staustellbrewery.co.uk/pubs-inns-and-hotels
