Why Would You Want .id.au Domains?
If you're doing business in Australia, a .id.au domain extension tells everyone you're local. It's a bit like having a local accent. It tells Australian customers you're part of the local community, or have built with them in mind, and that helps establish the trust you need to make genuine connections.
Then there's the crowd factor. In a sea of .com and .net domain names (which are most of them) a .id.au domain stands out. It's like wearing a bright shirt in a crowd of greys. It catches the eye, and attention, of Australian customers. Plus, it helps protect your brand in Australia.
The search engine mafia of Google, Bing and all the rest understand that people see local country-code top level domains (ccTLDs, aka .id.au)
as more trustworthy and eye-catching, and they factor that into their searches . So, a .id.au domain extension should help boost your local SEO. Search engines often favour local domains in search results for the same reasons users do:
- They know the results are more likely to be what people need.
- When people in Australia search for what you offer, your .id.au domain could give you a leg up.
So, if you're looking to connect with local customers, boost your SEO, stand out from the crowd, and protect your brand, a .id.au domain name is the way to go.
