The domain names your business chooses are a crucial part of protecting your brand and products.
Start your domain name research as soon as possible. In a perfect world, your company name is finalized after your domain name search has been complete, so that you get 100% of your business traffic, and you are properly brand-protected.
Choosing good domain names
Here are a few important factors we consider in our selection;
- Length. Short domain names are important- especially since half of all your customers are typing them on a mobile phone.
- Geographically relevant. If your customers are primarily in one country, use that country's top-level-domain, e.g. .nz or .com.au. Not only is this easier for your users, but Google cares as well.
- Avoid hyphens, like my-awesome-site.com. They are difficult to type, and may be difficult to see in certain printed fonts.
- Avoid doubled letters, like bobssandwichesstore.com. It's too easy to misstype, and difficult to read.
- Make it easy to spell upon hearing it.
- Make it easy to remember upon seeing it.
- Unique & distinct, not easily confused with another brand, especially a competitor's. This is especially important as a large percentage of your customers access your site through Google search, and Google auto-corrects spellings. The wrong name, and you could be investing in someone else's business.
- Space-complete. We identify and recommend the full range of names you should consider to protect your brand, in your market.
