Hello!

I have another new video for everyone this week. This one outlines how new, unused domain endings such as .inc (another domain ending I represent) and also something like .dealer can help your company rank better! While it is true that the same word with a different ending won't necessarily give a ranking advantage (for example: trucks.com vs trucks.dealer), it is also true that having a more relevant domain is made possible through using a domain ending like .inc or .dealer (for example: trucks.com would not be available but trucks.inc and trucks.dealer both are) and this will help you rank better.



To search for your .dealer domain please visit: .dealer Domains
To search for your .inc domain please visit: .inc Domain: Buy & Register Your New .inc Extension | .inc

You can also reach me at 647-880-0728 or [email protected]

Cheers,
Will

Google sold off their domain registration business.

Let's see.
Ask someone to fill in the blank.

Muscle memory is going to act before coming up with .biz, .org, .net, .poptarts

I don't even know if it is worth trying but up all these TLDs because the more search authority site will win.
With browser URL bars now offering in-line search engine results and autocomplete suggestions, only a small percentage of users nowadays even type in a full URL address.
 

✨ AI Highlights

Will Stewart promotes .dealer and .inc domains as tools to help dealerships rank better by securing more relevant domain names when .com alternatives aren't available, though he acknowledges that the domain extension itself doesn't provide an inherent ranking advantage. Skeptical replies from Carsten and Steve Stauning question the practical value of non-traditional TLDs, citing user muscle memory favoring .com/.org/.net and the rarity of alternative extensions appearing in search results, while Ryan Everson adds that modern browser autocomplete has diminished the importance of memorable URLs altogether.
