How to Choose the Perfect Domain Name for your Local Business

Choosing the right domain name for your local business is a very important task many business owners get wrong.
Choose wrongly and you will be stuck with a poor name for years. Choose rightly and you will hit the ground running in Google local search results.
In this video, i show you what you need to take into consideration when picking a domain name and the process I go through with my clients to maximise opportunities for their business to be found in Google local search results and Google maps.

Google does a terrible job enforcing their google my business listing policies. I have one competitor who has 3-4 listings all in the top 10 results in one area. 4 different fake addresses all with spam titles for a company that is based 100 miles away. I have reported them to google multiple times and they don't do squat. All their listings are still up. Waste of time even reporting them

This is exactly what I was wondering about when creating my domain. I knew somewhat about this yet I didn't know Google would ban you if they did not match. Question is does it have to match your domain itself or just the name of the business as seen on the website etc.? Very helpful thank you so much .

[@rankingacademy]

Hi matt. No it doen't need to exqctly match

I got a lot of ideas about domains after learning these tips which made me interested in renewing my old domain again. But main question is here? As you know I have a domain, I submitted it to Google search console a year ago, some articles were posted then I didn't do it anymore. If I work with this domain again, what would be a great thing?

[@rankingacademy]

Hi Abu. I am not entirely sure what you mean by "If I work with this domain again, what would be a great thing" . The short answer is It depends on the domain itself and what you are trying to achieve

So far, I haven't seen any example of suspension on adding additional keywords yet.

[@rankingacademy]

I have been contacted by many potential clients who have been suspended so it does happen.
