Seven Steps to Choosing a Domain Name for Your Dental Practice
Aug 2nd, 2010 | Category: Ideas to Market Your Dental Practice
- Select a name that is short but makes sense. Short names tend to be more search-engine friendly.
- Avoid spam terms in your Web site address, such as “cheap” or “free.”
- Try to make your name as memorable as possible. Obscure domain names are difficult to remember. Make it easy for your patients and referring dentists and physicians to remember.
- Avoid hyphens in your domain. They don’t look good, and some search engines may not handle them well.
- Use .com extensions only. Avoid .biz, .us and .info domains. They don’t look professional.
- Once you choose a domain name with a .com extension, register all available extensions. This will minimize the risk of a cybersquatter trying to register your domain with a different extension, which could confuse your current and prospective dental patients.
- Even if you do not intend to build a Web site immediately, register your domain as quickly as possible. A domain name available today may be gone when you are ready to use it. There is no need to take that risk.
