CPAs with .pro Domain in the Spotlight

Throughout August, Showcase.pro is highlighting four web sites owned by Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) and having the .pro domain. The .pro domain was created to give professionals a distinctive means of branding and marketing their services.

"A .pro address is perfect for branding a Professional Service firm,” says Tom Barrett, President of EnCirca, sponsor of Showcase.pro. “Professionals can also use .pro to secure targeted search engine keywords for their Internet marketing and search engine optimization (SEO) programs. For example, a CPA in Indiana might register ‘indiana-accountant.pro’ and ‘indiana-taxes.pro’ to reach their target customers.”

CPAs can also select a CPA-branded address, available only to licensed CPAs.

“Even with an unusual name like Durio, it was hard to find us on search engines like Google,” says Patrick Durio of Durio & Company. “But a Google search for ‘durio cpa’ makes our .pro domain the first hit on the search results.”

The four CPAs web sites featured on the Showcase.pro site are:

• May.cpa.pro - May & Associates, CPAs, P.C., located in the Aurora/Naperville/Fox Valley area, the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois.
  
• Sewell.cpa.pro - Sewell & Sewell, P.C., CPAs, located in Atlanta, Georgia.
  
• 1040.pro - Sinclair Associates, LLC, located in Haddonfield, New Jersey.
  
• Durio.cpa.pro - Durio & Company, P.C., a CPA firm located in the middle of Houston, Texas in the City of Bellaire.

“Registering a .pro address has allowed us to distinguish ourselves from competitors,” says Victoria Sewell, one of the principals of Sewell & Sewell, P.C. “With a cpa.pro domain name, we can instantly communicate our line of business. The address is short and easy to remember.”
