Which domain name to choose?
Posted by on February 24, 2021 at 5:21 pmHi all,
I have a question I’m wondering if someone could answer.
So I currently own 3 domains, let’s call them happytree DOT ca, happytrees DOT ca, and happytrees DOT com.
I need to do a 301 redirect from 2 of the domains into the one I decide to be the main one.For SEO purposes, which .ca address should I choose as my main domain? I’m wondering if choosing happytrees DOT ca will work better because the .com equivalent is also registered, or does that not matter at all?
​
Thanks for you time.

Use either of the .ca’s if your are targeting local, or .com if you are targeting global traffic.
Overall, domains have no weight in SEO so it doesn’t really matter which domain name you choice to use. Whichever one you are happy with the most, go with it.

The only effect domain tld’s have is (maybe) a user from Canada might be more inclined to click on a .ca domain rather than .com.
Like the previous user said, 0 SEO impact. Our .com domain is beating .ca competitors in our niche.
