HOW A DOMAIN NAME CAN AFFECT SEO AND YOUR SALES?
When you set out to create an online presence for your business, it involves making decisions, taking actionable steps and much more to achieve this objective. One of the most important decisions to take is to choose an ideal domain name for your business website. Domain names are unique, human-readable web addresses used to access resources or information on a webpage linked to the web address. Your customers can only locate your company online through your company's email address.
A potential customer may come across your postal or promotional commercials and either place a call, click on your link or reach out to you in your physical office. In most cases, however, it would be cheaper and better for your customers to find your business on search engines such as Google and Bing.  This is where search engine optimization (SEO) comes in.
