A domain name is much like a business name or brand name, it has to be original in it's own context, unique, one that stands out from your competitors. This has not change since the beginning of the last century. The domain name has to tell the world what are you selling, yet bring the brand element into play, as simple as that. The emails your company employees send out will also market to your clients as well. All that the domain name is doing is to position the business that will help the online but as well as the offline area of marketing.

That is why you need to research what primary keyword the targeted audience use to search online. For example, if your product or services is in renovation, would your targeted audience be using renovation services or reno services? Or you are looking to have a tooth remove, would you use dentist or dental? This has got to be research, and this has to be part of the domain name.

The domain name can also be use to target geographically. For example if you have a house cleaning service in Sydney, your domain name would look like www.HouseCleaningSydney.com. You see that with the primary keywords and geo targeting in the domain name, you have zoom in to a very targeted and tight niche, and this will greatly help in the SEO part for the website.
