Building a Website for a Dating Agency

Whether you already run a successful dating agency in real life and would like to bring it online, or if you are just about to start your matrimonial business, you are going to need several things.

1. Domain name

Best of all make it easy to read and easy to memorize. Usually dating websites include words like ‘date’, ‘dating’, ‘singles’, niche keywords. If you own an agency, you will likely use its name or closely related notion as a domain name.

2. Web hosting

We advise that you find hosting server in the country where your target audience live, because signal will run faster than when you host your website overseas.

3. Relevant keywords

Make a list of words and phrases that you want your website to be found by in the search engines and add them to your site.
