Naming strategy

Choose between a keyword domain and a brandable name

A clear, memorable name usually creates more long-term value than forcing search phrases into the address. Keywords can explain a topic, but they provide little direct ranking advantage on their own.

Memorable winsEasy to recall and share.

Keep it readableAvoid awkward phrases.

Build real signalsContent earns visibility.

Brandable names

Distinctive names can grow with the organisation

A brandable domain is easier to protect, mention and extend into new products. It should be simple to spell, pronounce and recognise without explanation.

Keyword names

Descriptive wording can clarify purpose

A natural keyword can help visitors understand an unfamiliar service, especially in advertising. Avoid long exact-match phrases, repeated hyphens and names that sound generic or misleading.

Choose well

Test the name as a URL, email address and spoken phrase

Check trademarks and confusingly similar businesses, then read the address aloud. Choose a suitable extension and let helpful pages, links and reputation do the SEO work.
