Should we switch to a .com?

Hey guys, If we have a DA of 17 with a .studio website and we are about to do a pretty solid organic SEO overhaul, should we switch to a .com domain instead of continuing to use a .studio?

  • Zachary Toto: .com .studio .whatever all the same to the SEs.

  • Beck Graben: Zachary Toto oh wow. Good to know. I read that .com carried far more power

  • Zachary Toto: Beck Graben .com carries more prestige, so it may have a better image to users, but really as long as it`s a TLD you own, you`re good. You could get a .com and point it to your site while keeping your .studio domain.

  • Beck Graben: Zachary Toto right right, but that would hurt us for a bit if we move to a .com and point .studio to the .com right?

  • Zachary Toto: Beck Graben You wouldn`t have to move the .studio to .com. You could keep the .studio and have the .com point to the .studio.

  • Beck Graben: Zachary Toto omg. Your right. So promote .com and use our .com emails and just have and web viewers redirected to .studio

  • Bill Hartzer: Beck Graben where did you read that? It’s untrue. All tlds have an equal chance of ranking.

    I’d be more concerned about migrating to another domain when you already have one established. Migrating could cause ranking issues if not done properly.

  • Cristina Ingram: for ranks all tld can be, for branding tld com recomended

  • Beck Graben: Cristina Ingram thank you

  • Stephen Kaufman: Google doesn’t care about the .extension or DA

  • Beck Graben: Stephen Kaufman oh ok I read that the extension was important

  • Stephen Kaufman: Beck Graben historically it has been easier for user recognition, but unless it’s country specific, I don’t think google cares

  • Beck Graben: Stephen Kaufman Thank you!

  • Bill Hartzer: Beck Graben I would like to see exactly where you read that the extension was more important than others when it comes to SEO.

  • Beck Graben: Bill Hartzer ok, i will try and find it, thanks!

  • Sakib Shadman: However if ur target audience is okay trusting a business w .com then u should. Otherwise no solid effect.

  • Beck Graben: Sakib Shadman good to mow. Thanks. Basically extensions don’t matter. I read that .come carry more power

  • Sakib Shadman: Beck Graben Yes, because a person is more likely to click on a .com than any other extentions w a buying intent.

  • Richard Hearne: Don`t let the tail wag the dog. What`s best for your business? If your entire business is being dictated by what works best for Google then you`re bundling up some serious risk in your business plan.

  • Beck Graben: well put!
