SEO is a huge part of a business’s overall online reputation, and every startup needs to go through it as well.
If you are a startup, you cannot simply ignore the crucial factors of your business i.e. the domain name of your website and its SEO strategy. So, what does your startup need to know about SEO and domain names? Let’s find out.
Choose the right domain name that reflects your brand
To begin with, always appropriately name your startup business. It is important to consider the foundation of your startup and what it stands for, bearing in mind that this name will be your startup’s first and sometimes only impression, especially when it comes to funding.
Once you have arrived at a business name for your startup, your next big challenge would be to decide on the domain name. A domain name carries a lot of value in terms of your website’s digital marketing aspect as well as the first impression of your business. So, choosing the domain name can just be as challenging as choosing the niche of your startup.
A short and simple domain name that preferably carries the name of your brand is highly recommended. A long domain number or the one with numbers is a strict no-no. A unique domain name with sensible extension based on the nature of your business operations can do better for you. A “.com” extension is still preferred by many and it has its own SEO benefits. Including your keywords can help you rank better in search engines.
If you are having a difficult time arriving upon your ideal domain name, you can seek help from several tools available such as DomainIt, Domainsbot, NameStation etc.
