Hi,

One of my client's business name is same as domain name. Let's say his domain is example.com and the same example.com is business name also. So he included the business name or domain name whatever into the content where ever he needed. So I am confused whether it will effect in SEO? Do I need to suggest my client to change the business name? Please suggest. Thanks!

    No, you don't suggest anything of the kind to your client. You just pay attention to how you use words. Use the business name normally and you'll be fine.

    Nothing wrong with:

    Example.com is about increasing website conversions through a special sauce that can be found on this site or by calling xxx-xxx-xxxx.

    Don't do things like:

    Example.com is about increasing website conversions through Example.com special sauce that can be found only on Example Domain or by calling Example.com.

      Adding to the above post. No need to change the business name. Use the name in the most natural way without repeating it. (as shown in the above example)

        I'm not sure what the client is hiring you to do - but I wish him luck.

            You don't need to suggest changes to your client with regards to his business name. In fact, having a similar domain and business name can turn out to be great for ranking his website in SERPs.

    well there is nothing wrong in that, until in content of the website he is not doing keyword stuffing because if density of that keyword is greater than 4% than your website can be affected on search engines.

    There are two choices of selecting a domain
    1. domain = your business name --> protect your brandname
    2. domain = your business product --> promote your product
    Each of these both have advantages and disadvantages.

    Beside, you can choose both of them if you have enough $$
