Stop
Treating domains as "IT line items": Stop delegating domain strategy to IT support. A domain is a frontline marketing asset and a core component of your brand’s intellectual property valuation.
Fragmenting your brand: Stop using confusing subdomains or "close-match" URLs for key campaigns. Inconsistencies cause your clients to lose trust and provide easy entry points for phishing and brand impersonation.
Start
Making proactive defensive registration: Strategic defensive acquisition ensures your brand remains the most authentic voice in your industry. The proliferation of LLMs like ChatGPT mean this has never been more important.
Claiming category-defining terms. Owning the definitive URL for your niche doesn’t just defend your space, it positions your brand as the undisputed authority and the default choice in the mind of the consumer.
