Why register a .com domain?
-
You have a business, blog, personal website or project.
The .com extension is perfect for online businesses—but it’s not confined to them. Whether you’re creating a blog, personal website, or any other online endeavor, the TLD can help you reach a wide audience, making it a good fit for almost any website under the sun.
-
You want to boost your SEO.
While they may not guarantee top search engine rankings, .com websites tend to attract more clicks from the average searcher, thanks to their familiarity. And this increased click-through rate can boost your site’s search engine ranking.
-
You’re banking on the authority and professionalism of a .com.
You want the reliability and ethos of someone who takes their business seriously and who knows what they’re talking about. Having a .com website can imply stability and professionalism when compared to lesser-known domain extensions.
-
You want to protect your brand (and capture more traffic).
Many website owners register the “.com” version of their primary domain, if it’s available. This strategy can help to safeguard your brand, while redirecting users to your main website.
What if my first choice is already taken?
.com domains are incredibly popular—which means your ideal domain might be spoken for.
That’s when you’ll need to get creative. When your first-choice domain isn’t available, try tweaking your brand name slightly—while keeping it straightforward. Add an industry-related keyword, a local keyword like “nyc,” a short verb like “get,” or an adjective that embodies your brand. Remember, when it comes to domain names:
☑️ Simpler is better (ie: easier to remember and type).
☑️ A relevant keyword can boost your SEO.
☑️ Choose a domain name that can scale with your growth.
If you’re set on a .com domain extension, keep experimenting. Run your ideas by friends and family—and see if they can guess how your domain is spelled (and still remember it later). When you find a name that sticks, make sure to register it before someone else does.
