Why Would You Want .africa Domains?
If you're doing business in Africa, a .africa domain extension tells everyone you're local. It's a bit like having a local accent. It tells Africa 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 .africa domain stands out. It's like wearing a bright shirt in a crowd of greys. It catches the eye, and attention, of Africa customers. Plus, it helps protect your brand in Africa.
The search engine mafia of Google, Bing and all the rest understand that people see local country-code top level domains (ccTLDs, aka .africa)
as more trustworthy and eye-catching, and they factor that into their searches . So, a .africa 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 Africa search for what you offer, your .africa 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 .africa domain name is the way to go.
