Recent Data Reveals Startups Increasingly Use Memorable, Key-Word Rich Descriptive Domain Names to Stand Out from Competitors
BELLEVUE, Wash., April 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- TrueName, a global leader in descriptive domains, announced that more startups are choosing descriptive domains than in previous years per recent data by Marc Köhlbrugge, founder of startup launch platform BetaList. When a startup uses a memorable, descriptive top-level domain (TLD) like .games or .live, their domain more quickly communicates who they are and what they do with an authentic digital identity that stands out from competitors.
For years, the domain and startup industries assumed that rising startups would opt for exact brand match domain names ending in the legacy TLD .com, even if it meant shelling out serious cash. Today, more forward-thinking startups pick domains that reflect their willingness to think outside the box. They're choosing options like .technology, and .fund, and .io. These descriptive TLDs are affordable, industry-specific, short, and memorable, and feature an authentic digital identity that captures customers' attention.
"We are not surprised by this trend," said Mina Neuberg, TrueName CMO. "Entrepreneurs value innovative solutions, and descriptive domains help them stand out from the competition. They can express what's unique about their business from the very first impression. Domain names that are easy to remember, descriptive, and connected to brand identity are set up for success and SEO impact. And fortunately, descriptive domains are widely available."
Brandable domain names combined with descriptive extensions allow for more clarity to tell a memorable story and are easy to find by potential customers. Many startups effectively leverage keywords in their descriptive domain names that match their brand names, such as modern.energy, starface.world, and armoire.style. Using meaningful keywords on both sides of the dot is central to upping their SEO ranking.
