.agency — should you use it?
Generic TLD · introduced 2014
The short answer
Does what it says. Fine for agencies that want the word in the URL instead of the name.Why it works
- Self-describing
- Cheap entry
Why it might not
- Long
- Faintly SEO-spam flavored from years of lead-gen sites
The longer take
name.agency works best when 'name' is short. Otherwise you've built a 20-character domain that loses the radio test.
