Domain Tips

Tips for Choosing a Catchy, Brandable Domain Name

A great domain is short, memorable, easy to spell and available as .com. These tips help you narrow hundreds of AI suggestions to the one.

01

Keep It Under 15 Characters

Shorter domains are easier to type, remember and fit on business cards. Every extra character increases typo risk.

02

Avoid Hyphens and Numbers

hyphens and numbers cause confusion when spoken aloud. “is that dash or underscore?” kills word-of-mouth referrals.

03

Include a Keyword If Possible

A keyword in the domain helps users and search engines understand what your site does. “fitmeals.com” beats “xyz123.com” for a meal prep business.

04

Default to .com

.com has the highest trust and recall. If your ideal .com is taken, try .co, .io or a vertical extension before using hyphens to force .com.

05

Check Social Media Handles

Your domain and social handles should match. Search Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok and LinkedIn before committing. Mismatched handles confuse customers.

06

Say It Out Loud

If you cannot tell someone your domain over the phone without spelling it letter by letter, pick a simpler name. The “radio test” catches bad names fast.
