Hello Guys

I am about to register the local tld for one of these keywords.

I run a freelancer SEO business and wanted to get a good local domain to rank locally, build a brand but also have a domain that sounds good and has good keywords.

Have been asking around for opinions and votes.

So far, these are the keywords and votes, the number next to the keyword is the number of votes thus far. First one to 10 wins!
  • localbusinessseo 5
  • seotraffic 5
  • seoaudit 2
  • seolocal 1
  • seopackages 4
  • seorank 4
Let me know your opinion with the reason for your choice.

Looking forward to your responses. I know everything differs on opinions and I am very open minded and love to hear what others think!

    If I get you very well, you're talking about getting a good local domain for your SEO services.
    The keywords you listed above doesn't include the name of the locality you're trying to rank for.

    Although it's gonna have a local TLD, but it'd have been nicer if you add the name of the locality to it.

    Thanks for your reply, I was trying to avoid a specific locality to my domain, plus the ones of my country & city is already taken.

    Would have preferred a more general SEO domain and create some SEO services by region with pages for each region and target them individually.

      I got your idea, but it would be hard to rank them individually... Not sure, but do people search for:

      seo services new york

      For example??? Looks strange, but Good luck!

    Yeah, people do search for keywords like that.

    Anyways, still looking for the first vote.

    seorank is out, even though its avalaible. Just saw it's link profile, baaaad stuff. Really liked the domain though.

    So now I am leaning between these 2:

    To be honest, both are horrible since only people in the SEO community knows what true SEO is. It gets worse than that though, because there are millions of scam artists out there that advertise "SEO services" and they don't do a thing but give you a few spammy backlinks or register you in indexes. So the general population thinks of SEO almost like a cuss word....it's not something to build a brand around.

    If you want to optimize locally, then do one of two things-

    1) Make your domain a local keyword (like New York) with an industry title <like Marketing or Search Optimization)

    2) Make the domain your brand name, preferably one or two words (like Web Warriors)

    Hopefully that helps. I know it's not what you wanted to hear, but I think you're wasting your time with the two domains that you're considering.
