Just need your opinion.

My email is pcjanae and I just made my Facebook "like" page pcjanae also. Right now my website is janaelynda and wonder if it woul it be better "and easier for customers to remember" if I changed it to also be pcjanae.

I just got back into PC so don't have tons of customers to let know

What is your opinion?
 
I think it would be easier if everything would be the same. Now is the time if you're going to do it.
 
I agree with having some unity with everything....Good Luck!
 
I think you can only have your name now for your web site , I also think it is easy for people to remember ,

I finally looked at the "rules" and your website can only be your name. Thank you chef13doreen for the reminder. Although it would have been nice to have all 3 the same, it's nice to no longer wonder if I shoulld change it or not
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I change my website name if it's not getting traffic?

If your website name is not attracting traffic, it might be worth considering a change. A more relevant or catchy name can help improve your search engine visibility and make it easier for potential customers to remember your site. However, ensure that the new name aligns with your brand and is easy to spell and pronounce.

How will changing my website name affect my SEO?

Changing your website name can impact your SEO, especially if you have built up backlinks and search engine rankings under your current name. To mitigate negative effects, set up proper redirects from the old site to the new one, update your social media profiles, and inform your audience about the change to maintain traffic and rankings.

What factors should I consider before changing my website name?

Before changing your website name, consider factors such as brand recognition, SEO implications, domain availability, and how well the new name reflects your products or services. Additionally, think about your target audience and whether the new name will resonate with them.

Can I keep my existing website and just change the name?

Yes, you can keep your existing website and simply change the name. However, you will need to update the domain name and ensure that all links, branding, and marketing materials reflect the new name. This approach allows you to maintain your existing content and traffic while rebranding.

Will changing my website name confuse my customers?

Changing your website name can potentially confuse customers, especially if they are used to your current branding. To minimize confusion, communicate the change clearly through email newsletters, social media, and on your website. Provide a clear explanation of why you are making the change and how it will benefit them.
