What would you say are the most important geo domains to own?

[Leading Names]

So you own CityName.com

What CityName*.com domains would you register/buy, if available?

Where * = builders, business etc.

Or would you simply not bother, as you own the CityName.com already?

Would be interested to hear your thoughts.

i'd probably register the city name of the where i live

it would seem to be the logical choice, as i'd probably know more about it than other city names.

the second choice would probably be someplace where i've been and enjoyed the time spent there or a place i've longed to go to

imo...

I would go after any industry that maks money online first like

citynamelimo
citynameflorist

and so on, they will see the value first.

I already own the city name Don, just wondering whether I should take citynamejobs, citynamehealth etc, and if so, which ones, in order of importance? Or should I simply not bother registering any?

Kind Regards,

must have missed that part

but to give better answer and examples, here's what i have...

chicagofleamarket.com

chicagoescort.com

chicagodrivingschool.com

chicagopublictransportation.com

they all get some traffic and rev

and if i could get citynamejobs or citynamehealthdepartment, i'd snatch'em up....depending on the city

imo...

I don't think it's important for you to have those names at all. Just develop the one you already have.

Why? It would add up in reg fees.

Say you owned London.com now, yes, you could get londonrealestate.com, londoninsurance.com, londonminicabs.com and so on but in the grand scheme of things. this would be better:

London.com (root site)
London.com/realestate/
London.com/insurance/
London.com/minicabs/

And so on for two huge reasons.

1) Only one renewal fee with the second setup as opposed to several with different sites.
2) Your search engine results will bring everyone to London.com (and the relevant directory) thus boosting the value of that single domain.

I'm just using London.com because I see the UK flag by the op (and yes, I'd grab the example domains, too but with most smaller cities they may not be worth it).

If you do go with the keywords make sure it is relevant. For example:

DetroitArt.com wouldn't be worth as much as DetroitAutos.com since Detroit is known to be the auto capital of the US. MiamiSeafood.com vs. MiamiBeer.com - same thing. Miami is known for seafood, not beer.

Some keywords are usually a win-win,though: insurance, real estate, maybe even auto sales, lawyers, rentals, and if it's a touristy city, shopping and hotels.
