Some Definitions
Before I reveal the perfect audience for my business, I need to first define some terms.
Local domain name. A Local domain name includes a city plus a particular niche or profession. Examples include the following:
- AmarilloAccountants.com
- GlendalePhysicians.com
- LakeForestEngineers.com
Local search. Local search means an online search for a certain product or service in a specific geographic location. Examples include the following:
- Boston Home Depot
- Chicago Pizza
- Denver Landscaping
Functional domain name. A functional domain name applies to real-world products and services that are not specifically based on location and niche/profession like local domain names are. In other words, with a functional domain name, an individual can tell what the domain name is about simply by looking at the name of the domain. Examples include the following:
- SmartphoneConsultants.com
- TinyHouseFurnaces.com
- WirelessRobotMowers.com
