How do you choose the right Domain name? Well thats up to you. Your Domain name is your number one marketing tool, it should be highlighted in all your marketing efforts. Here are some thoughts to guide you:

  • First and foremost your domain name needs to be memorable. You want it to stick with people.
    (ie. 206lawteam.com vs. jesup-harold-taylor-smith-and-long.com)
  • It should be self explanatory; use service description, name, or firm name.
    (ie. corvallislegal.com vs. jesup-harold-taylor-smith-and-long.com)
  • Search keywords in your Domain name can be very helpful with search rank but don't pollute the clarity of your domain name.
    (ie. seattlelawteam.com vs. jesup-harold-taylor-smith-and-long.com)
  • Short is good, it can make it easier to remember and easier to use in all your marketing efforts.
    (ie. BBros.us vs. jesup-harold-taylor-smith-and-long.com)
  • The age of a domain factors into search ranking, don't abandon an established Domain name on a whim. If you get a new Domain name redirect your old Domain to the new.
  • Variations or Multiple Domain names can be used for a single site. It's important that all Domains redirect to a single URL to avoid damaging a Websites seach rank.
    (ie. corvalliselderlaw.com, corvallisdivorcelaw.com, corvallisrealestatelaw.com, corvallisfamilylaw.com, corvallispropertylaw.com, corvallislawyer.net, corvallislawyer.us)
  • The three original public top level Domains are .com, .org and .net. These have historical precedence and are often preferred over new top level domains like; .us, .info, .co, etc.
