Why most companies own multiple websites offering the same essay service?

Can someone give a light to my question: why the same company creates different websites that offer the same service?

Too Many Essay ServicesFor example, one foreign company owns: BestEssays and SuperiorEssays. Almost all companies own more than one site and they use the same writers anyway?

What is the point? Is it to trick clients into thinking they are dealing with different company?

Like, when you got burned on one site, there are more chances this client will still order from your company?

And some owners have more than 20 websites offering exactly THE SAME SERVICE.

Isn't it better for them to try to build a brand and manage everything from one website?

Do you imagine Google to try to promote both google and searchengine at the same time?

I just don't understand it.

The only possible reason, as I mentioned above, is that they may count on the same student to order from them even if this student was scammed by that company in the past.

Your thoughts?

Scalability and good user experience is more possible with two websites than one.

I guess I have an answer. p)

It'd be nice to have a list, like:

Company X owns: ... ... ... ,
Company Y owns: ... ... .. ... .. etc.

It would help students tremendously *

The multiple websites for the same company using different names is part of the scam game. Yes, the whole idea behind it is to not only corner the market as best as they can, but to also make sure that they can get repeat clients for themselves using different con names. The client sees a different website each time but then, it feeds into the same server and is seen by the same pool of writers. So the burn game is still on, regardless of the site name. The services cannot change because the writer pool remains the same. Their target clients are also never changing. Since they are con artists, they cannot build a brand or an image using the same name. Their bad reputation will continue to haunt them long after they have pretended to improve their services. Since Google no longer promotes these types of sites, we can't say that the multiple website names are based on an image problem that exists within their Google listing. I believe that you have hit the bulls-eye with your observation. I could not have said it better myself.

Actually, owning multiple companies is just sound business. It allows the company to offer more services at more affordable prices. The academic writing company can create a premium, affordable, or budget arm of their writing company by creating a new company name that runs on a different business policy than the other. By doing that, the company can corner a larger slice of the market by having students consider the writing services of the writers, at a lower price, all because the company carries a different name. The company owners can also claim a tax loss for an affiliate company which is not doing good business. This then allows the company to pay lower taxes in relation to their business. The multiple websites that represent the different companies must offer the same services because the writers belong to the same writing pool.

Some companies maintain dozens of different essay-writing websites. There might be some legitimate marketing reasons for this, but when I was doing a lot of writing for essay companies, I noticed quite a few assignments where the customer's assignment description said something along the lines of this: "Hey, I hope you guys at ABC Essays* do better work than XYZ Essays* because the work I received from a writer at XYZ was horribly bad and useless to me. This is now the second time that I'm paying for the same essay, so I hope you guys are a lot better than XYZ!!" Meanwhile, the customer had no idea that both sites were owned by the same parent company and, much more importantly, that all of the projects from both of those websites simply get posted on the same assignment board for all of the exact same writers, because we were all employed by the parent company, not by any of the individual websites through which they take orders. The only difference ordering from one site instead of the other was the name of the merchant displayed on the credit card statement. I only became aware of how many different websites I was writing for gradually, when customers who ordered from totally different websites uploaded all of their payment-confirmation info as the cover page of the resource materials they provided for their projects.

Agreed. In the very beginning of my academic writing path, I was quite skeptical when I began to realize that a lot of the companies held onto different domain sites that offer the same services. I soon realized that it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. It was merely just the companies attempting to expand their client reach through maximizing their total coverage in the field. It isn't necessarily a red flag, especially if the company is a legitimate one.

Creating multiple companies that provide the same service is all about cornering the market. It is better to let people think that different companies do not fall under the same ownership so that they will not have any questions about signing up for the service. The more companies under the umbrella, the better chances of snagging more clients. Don't think of this as a scam the company is running. Rather, think of it as a way by which a company can extend its services to more potential clients, under various service offerings, even if they all belong to the same niche market. It's bad for the client, but beneficial to the company.
