Your domain name is a powerful asset that you must protect and use to your advantage. Using your full name as your domain name can be problematic for many reasons. It’s not usually beneficial to have your full name in the primary URL because there could be hundreds of people with the same name. If they already own the domain, it could make it hard to differentiate yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A better solution would be to buy a domain name with your full name as well as certain key words related to the services you provide. These are real estate, realtor or the region you serve. When someone searches for those terms, having your fullname alongside them, will help distinguish you from others who may share your name by allowing potential customers to associate you with a specific service and location. Most names cost around $10 or less per year; owning domains pertinent to your names and services can only stand to increase your online visibility while protecting you from others who may try to capitalize on having the same last name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
