WEBSITE NAME

choosIng website name

The very first step in going online is making a name and the problem is that with more and more Australian businesses going online, it can be hard to find a suitable name. When setting up a website for a client, I have noticed that getting the right name takes a lot of time.

If you want some ideas, then write down your company name and your main products, then look up a thesaurus and try to get a few more ideas.

Now if you see yourself as a local business, I would suggest that you consider adding the main suburbs near you because that is what people will search on, e.g. if I am looking for a chemist in Blackland, I might search "Blackland chemist". Try to avoid street names if you can they do not help online. If there is a prominent site nearby you may be able to connect to that item. While if you see yourself as a national business, then you will be looking to connect your domain name to your major product and/or service.

The idea is that you are trying to make a name that people will find in a search. So it is worth doing some research as a good name will increase your credibility and improve your rankings in Google.

Then here is a website that can help you look for ideas.
