It makes the best case for buying a great domain name and building your business around it as we have ever read.
The owner of CarLoans.com.au says he purchased the domain name in June and has increased the company’s business by $40 million dollars.
“In June (2013), Shaun McGowan’s business, Beep.com.au, was turning over $60 million. Five months later the company has grown by 60%, now exceeding $100 million in turnover, through one simple change – the domain name.”
“McGowan purchased a new, premium domain name CarLoans.com.au in June (2013) and since then the business’s click through’s have increased, its marketing spend has reduced and turnover has increased by $40 million.”
“Speaking to SmartCompany, McGowan says the change has made a “massive” impact.”
“There is a natural assumption the biggest, oldest companies have the premium generic domain names,” he says.
“In terms of the domain name investment, the name paid itself back within four months.
“McGowan says the benefits of the new name have been multi-tiered, but the number one change has been people’s perception of the business.”
“People assume it’s the biggest and the best car loans business now.”
“The benefit of a premium domain name is its very descriptive – people know straight away what your business does.”
“McGowan took almost two years to acquire the name from a gentleman who bought it 15 years ago and says it’s since improved both the front and back-end of the business.”
“We noticed the impact the very next day. The moment we launched CarLoans, we had a 35% drop in our AdWord spending the next day,” he says.
“A lot of our inquiries are driven through AdWords, but we’re now getting the same number of leads for much less. Our click-through rate went up and our conversion rate alone has increased by 30%.”
“McGowan says while premium domain names can be expensive, it’s a worthwhile investment.”
“Our inquiry rate increased massively. The cost-per-click came down and we catapulted through the search engine rankings, and that was just our front-end improvements,” he says.
“We’ve also noticed when the sales consultants are talking to the customers our name now is now seen as the authority in car loans because of its natural association with Car Sales. Our settlements and conversion rates from us speaking to customers increase, customers would give us more information from the outset and they’d speak to us on the phone for longer.”
“McGowan says people should consider building their businesses around domain names.”
“The problem most have in today’s world is they decide on their business and then go looking for a name. They should find the domain name and then build the business around it,” he says.
“When you can, you should invest in the best possible name and spend the most money that you can afford. Relating it back to the retail world, think about it like a store location. Having a premium domain name is the equivalent of buying the best house on the best street with the best foot traffic.”
When business owners purchase great domains and then place their website on it, they save thousands of dollars on keyword cost and generate more business. Build your business around a great domain name.
