Why Register a .KE Domain Name?
1. Strong Local Trust in Kenya
Kenyan customers trust businesses that use .co.ke domains because they represent local presence and legitimacy.
2. Better SEO Ranking in Kenya
Search engines like Google prioritize country-specific domains in local search results. A .ke domain helps your website rank higher for searches within Kenya.
3. Brand Protection
Even if you already own a .com domain, registering your .co.ke brand name prevents competitors or malicious actors from impersonating your business.
4. Professional Identity
Emails using your domain (e.g. [email protected]) look more professional and improve brand recognition.
