Working for a digital agency, you get a lot of interesting requests! :)
I have a client who has asked a rather strange question:
Is it possible to submit the same app to the App Store under multiple, different accounts/identities?
So if you search for Company A in the App Store, you would get this app as a result, and if you also searched for Company B, you would also get this app as a result.
Thanks!

No, the name of your app as it appears in the App Store must be unique. When creating your app, you will receive the following error if you try to use a name that is already taken: The Application Name that you provided has already been used. Please provide a unique Application Name.
Creating a duplicate copy of an app icon is easy. Find the app in the App Library, then drag a new copy of it onto your Home Screen: Swipe to the App Library at the right edge of all your Home Screens. Look through the various folders or use the Search bar to find the app you want to duplicate.
Switch accounts on the Google Play websiteIn the top right, choose your profile icon. Choose Switch account. Select a different account. If you can't find another account, tap Use another account.
Read the AppStore Review Guidelines Apple recently published.
2.20 Developers "spamming" the App Store with many versions of similar apps will be removed from the iOS Developer Program
Additionally, I think it'd be wise to advise your client against such a move, as it will only cause fragmentation for the app. Apps have keywords, so perhaps you should focus there to increase search results. I think you'd run into some issues submitting the same app to the store under different developer accounts--not to mention that you have to have individual developer accounts to even attempt such submissions. It'd really be a headache.
