How do I choose a SEO friendly domain name?

Including keywords in domain names is a good SEO practice. Here are things to consider before purchasing a domain:
  • Avoid numbers and hyphens. Hyphens are associated with spam websites.
  • Have keywords placed as prefixes or suffixes to grab attention, preferably 2-3 words on your domain (i.e. DistilleryCalifornia.com)
  • Use the .com domain extension. The .com is still the most trusted. If you are an organization, use .org.
  • Keep it short so there?s less risk of typos.
  • Make it unique.
