Domain extensions
Quick answer
The extension you choose changes how a name is read, not how it ranks — search engines treat the common generic and open country-code extensions the same way. Pick on audience and availability: .com for the broadest recall, .ai for AI-first products, .io and .dev for technical buyers, .org for institutions, and .co or .xyz when the name matters more than the extension.
