I have the option of using the domain names:
editingproofreadingservices.net
or
editingservices.net
or
proofreadingservices.net
Both of these search phrases—“editing services” and “proofreading services” have a search volume that is equal—9900 global monthly searches. Both terms mean roughly the same thing, but target slightly different markets. For the purposes of SEO, and only taking into account the benefit and component of SEO that is contributed by having your keyword in the domain name, do you think it is better to cover both bases (“proofreading” and “editing”) with a domain name that combines the two keywords (editingproofreadingservices.net), or one that targets just one or the other specific keywords? In other words, if someone were to type in just the keyword phrase “editing services” would my site be equally effective for SEO if it is named “editingservices.net” or “editingproofreadingservices.net”—all other things being equal? So is it better to have an exact match of the keyword phrase to the domain name or just to have the keyword in the domain name?
Thank you very much.
