The Brand: A source of value for the consumerAlthough we are primarily dealing with brands and their optimization, it is important to clarify that brands do not necessarily exist in all markets. Even if brands exist in the legal sense they do not always play a role in the buying decision process of consumers. Other factors may be more important.
Consumers just assume if you're in business that you have a web site. If they don't know your web site address, they type your business name into a search engine.
Or, they add ".com" to the end of your business name to see what comes up.
What Domain Name Should You Use?
For these reasons it's important to not just have a web site, but to also have a domain name or URL (e.g. www.10stepmarketing.com), that matches your business name.
That's why it is so important when selecting a business name, to also check to see if the domain is available.
Don't Make the Mistake I Made
I made the mistake of NOT doing this when I started my marketing consulting business eight years ago. I simply picked a name for my business and off I went.
At the time, I didn't feel it was necessary to have a web site. So I never even considered looking to see if the name of my business was available as a domain name.
Fast-forward a few years. Suddenly the web is taking off. And I realize I need a web site for my marketing consulting business.
Unfortunately, when I checked to see if www.dlcmarketing.com was available, it was not.

Not a great scenario.
There are options if the domain name you want is not available. You just have to get creative. Which is what I had to do.
I registered http://www.dlcmktg.com. Not ideal, but it works. And, since most of my consulting business comes through referrals, my web site isn't a major business driver.
Having said that, if I had it to do over again, I would DEFINITELY make sure the business name I wanted was available as a URL.
Your Marketing Step
Does your business already have name? Do you own the matching domain name? If so, great. You've already taken this week's step.
But what if your current business name and domain name aren't the same? Your step this week is to check to see if your business name is available as a domain. If it is, register it immediately and point it to your existing web site.
If you haven't yet named your business, your step this week is to make sure you don't finalize a business name until you've confirmed you can register the same domain name.
