Avoid Keyword Stuffing

Choose a domain name based on your business.
Ex: www.ghanawebdesigns.com has the keyword “webdesign” telling people that this website is all about web design services.
Such inclusions helps a lot in SEO process. Search Engines crawl yours better than your peers.

The keyword should only be a part of your Domain Name and not be stuffed.
Ex: www.best web design company in accra .com, www.bestwebdevelopmentservices.com
Here keyword “best web design company” is being stuffed which is obviously a bad practice.

 

Make a list

When you start naming do not check for Domain Name and purchase in the first go. Make a list. You may get better ideas when you think for longer time. There are some tools to generate Domain Names. You can use these tools and get more combination & new ideas.
Be creative and think out of the box. You can even look for similar terms using thesaurus or even translate from different language.
Ex: www.ghanawebdesigns.com is a web design & development company in Ghana.

 

Availability Check

Once you make a list, check for its availability. There is less chance for short & easy domains. Even if your Domain Name is available, you need to confirm its space in social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.
You can use tool like “knowem” to check social media account availability.
