GHL brand domain protection made easy 

Brand domain protection in GHL now covers more than just your main address. When you search for or buy a domain, GHL will also show you other extensions that are available, such as .net, .org, and .co. This gives you a chance to secure them before someone else does.

Here’s what you can do with the new feature:

• Choose up to three extra domains during the purchase process
• See the total cost right away, so there are no surprises
• Add or remove domains with one click
• Buy everything in one step without repeating the process

If you already own a domain, you may see a “Protect your brand” banner in the domain settings. Click it, and you will get the same list of suggestions and the option to buy. This keeps your domain management in one place and makes brand protection easier to handle.

Having your main domain is important, but it is not the whole story. If you leave other extensions open, someone else can register them and use them in ways that could hurt your brand.

Brand domain protection in GHL helps you prevent problems such as:

• Competitors or copycats creating lookalike sites
• Losing visitors who type in the wrong extension
• Mixed branding across your online platforms
• Time and cost spent fixing issues after they happen

When you secure the extra domains, you make it easier for people to find you and harder for others to misuse your name. It also shows customers that you care about your business and its reputation.

Setting up brand domain protection in GHL is not complicated, but it is important. The feature is built to work right inside your account, so you do not have to move between different services or learn a new system. Everything you need is in one place.

The process is the same whether you are buying a new domain or protecting one you already own. GHL will show you which extra extensions are available, and you can choose the ones that make the most sense for your business. This helps you secure the domains you need before someone else claims them.

By taking a few minutes to configure this update, you can keep your online identity safe and your brand consistent. Once the setup is done, your domains will be managed together, making it easier to stay on top of renewals and changes.

Not every domain extension is worth the money. Picking the right ones will give you solid brand domain protection in GHL without paying for addresses you will never use.

• Start with the common choices. Extensions like .net, .org, and .co are the ones most people will try if the .com is taken. Securing these first helps block the most likely copycats.
• Think about your audience. If your business focuses on a certain country or region, look at local extensions such as .us, .ca, or .uk. These can help you connect better with the people you serve.
• Avoid low-value options. Some extensions are rarely used and add little to your brand protection. Focus on the ones your customers are more likely to recognise.
• Plan ahead. If you expect to grow into new products, services, or markets, grab the related extensions now. It is easier and cheaper to get them before someone else does.

Being selective will help you keep your brand secure without cluttering your domain list with names you do not need.

Brand domain protection in GHL is not just about locking down web addresses. For agencies, it is a simple way to add value for clients who may not realize how important this is. Helping them choose and secure the right extensions can protect their brand and show that you are looking out for their long-term success.

For businesses, this update is a chance to prevent problems before they start. It keeps your brand consistent, makes it easier for people to find you, and lowers the risk of someone using a similar domain to confuse customers. Having everything in one GHL dashboard also makes it easier to keep track of renewals and changes.

For both agencies and businesses, brand domain protection becomes a regular part of managing your online presence instead of something you scramble to fix later.

Brand domain protection in GHL gives you a straightforward way to guard your online identity. Adding extra extensions helps prevent copycats, keeps your branding consistent, and makes it easier for customers to reach you.

If you already have a domain in GHL, open your domain settings and look for the “Protect your brand” banner. If you are buying a new domain, check the suggested extensions before you finish your purchase.

Spending a few minutes on this now can save you trouble later. Log in to GHL, review your domains, and choose the extensions that make the most sense for your business.
