Identify:
| Type | Description | SEO | Brand | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Branded Domain | Domain = brand; no functional keywords (Notion, Canva, Perplexity) | Long-term; Google favors brands | High | Teams; long-term brand building |
| Partial Match (PMD) | Part of domain relates to function (FlowGPT, Dify, Reportify) | Balance; signals topic | Medium | AI tools; balance SEO + brand |
| Exact Match (EMD) | Domain = search query (png2jpg.com, aiartgenerator.cc) | Fast early traffic; ceiling lower | Low | Solo devs; tool sites; site networks |
Google stance: Keywords in domain no longer directly affect ranking; domain still matters for UX and brand. EMDs work when paired with quality content; branded domains with entity recognition matter more long-term.
Recommendation:
| TLD | Use Case | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| .com | Default choice; highest trust | Most preferred; often expensive |
| .ai | AI products | ccTLD (Anguilla); auto-hyperlinks in Excel/Sheets/Feishu → natural backlinks; signals AI |
| .io | Tech, SaaS | Popular; geopolitical risk (Chagos Islands) |
| .co, .app, .pro | Alternatives | If .com taken |
| .new | Instant-create tools | For bolt.new, claude.new style; see Alignify .new guide |
AI products: Prefer .ai, .com, or .io. Avoid niche TLDs (.im, .xyz, .inc, .art, .dev)—higher risk of resolution issues (e.g., Notion .so outage).
| Rule | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Short & memorable | Easier to type, share, recall |
| Avoid hyphens | Looks unprofessional; can signal low quality |
| Check history | Use Archive.org; avoid previously penalized domains |
| Defensive registration | Register .net, .org, variants; redirect to main; do not deploy on multiple domains |
| Impersonation variants | For AI products: register brand+ai, brand+app, brand+official; see brand-protection for impersonation response |
| Accurate WHOIS; renew on time | Avoid loss or hijacking |
When brand name includes .ai (e.g., Character.ai, Leonardo.Ai), the full string auto-hyperlinks in Excel, Google Sheets, Feishu, and some IM apps. Each mention = potential backlink. Useful for AI products where the generic name alone (e.g., "Character") is a common noun.
