How many domain names do I need? The skies the limit. Not the answer you expected? We get it. Maybe this will help clear up a few of your questions. When you are first starting your business, we recommend you just get 3 domain names: Your personal name, your business name, your industry. This should be a good start. However, as you start adding courses, freebies, webinars, new services, etc. You could buy a domain for each one. Remember, you want to be found easily and this is a key way to do that. There are many hosting companies out there that sell domains in bulk or for very little cost. Such as GoDaddy, Site Hosting, Gator Host, Blue Host, etc. Most domains can cost anywhere from $8.00 - $30.00 annually. Not a bad deal when you think of the return on investment, especially if you are being found online.

Okay so now you’ve bought several domains, but which one do you use on your business card or social media channels? You always want to point them to your main website domain address, your business name. This should always be your main domain where all the others you purchase simply point to. You want to look at this as your business address. Just like with any big company, they always have a main headquarter. This is the same with your main domain. One main domain where everything else points to. Then why is it so important to buy so many different domains? Because each domain has keywords that will be brought up when your key audience does their search online to find you. If you have as many keywords noted in various domains, you come up much faster than most. This is an SEO trick to get your website found above the rest of the crowd. https://www.kgwebsitedesigns.com

So how do I get a domain for my industry if I’m in a highly competitive one? Good question. This is where you get creative. Let’s say you are a realtor, but there has to be something that makes you unique. For example www.TheRealtorWithTheWinningSmile.com or www.ARealtorThatCares.com or www.TheRealtorThatCanGetYourHomeSold.com. Can you see what we are doing here? In each domain you see Realtor and some other keywords such as Home, Sold, Cares, Smile, Winning these are all keywords that many of your audience may be looking up based on what they want in a realtor. This simple process can help you get ahead of the competition and be found. Before you buy a domain name, go to Google Keywords and find out what words people are using to look up realtors. Write down as many as you can that ring true for you. Now write down all the words that make you unique. Now start to pull together some winning combinations. Once you have your list look up the domains to see if they are available for purchase on www.DomanLookUp.com. https://www.kgwebsitedesigns.com/

Before you start the build or refresh of your website, have you looked into your domain name? This is another key part of your website. Why? Because this is how your clients will find you when looking online for you and your services. Here are the key things you want to remember when looking for a domain name: 1- It should encompass words of exactly what you do. 2- We always recommend you buy several domain names as it will help your audience find you faster. 3- It’s wise to have a domain name with your personal name noted as well. Why? Because most will look you up in one of 3 ways – Your name/Your business name/Your industry. You definitely want to capitalize on all of these to make it that much easier to be found. Remember, your domain name is essentially the address of your business online. Just like when you buy a house or rent an apartment, you have an address to send your mail, to receive packages, etc. This is the same thing regarding your domain. It’s your online address. So, picking many domains can help point your clients in the right direction in order to find you fast.
