In your opinion and experience, which is the best type of listing to use for your domains submitted to SquadHelp and why?
They have 3 options, namely:
- Option 1: Basic Listing
- Option 2: Basic Plus Listing
- Option 3: Premium Listing
I'm fairly new to Squadhelp (I just joined last week, but so far I have a 50% approval rate). I will say that it sort of depends on what your intentions are.
Option 3, Premium Listings are by far the best in terms of exposure and showing up when a user searches. SH also does quite a bit of remarketing on these names, from what I hear, so if someone visits the listings, they may see the name show up in ads later. With Premium, you also get a logo designed.
The drawback, of course, is that it takes longer for names to get approved, and there's a higher commission.
I'm not sure what the appeal of
Basic Plus is, to be honest. It seems like kind of a high commission when you're much less than you'd get at the Premium level.
Basic listings are just that — basic. But there's no approval process, so you can register and list names very quickly, and Squadhelp will automatically generate a sales page with your description. You can also add Lifestyle images to Basic listings now.
Most of mine are Premium, but I have one Basic listing right now because I wanted to submit it for a contest, and regged it just in case the contest holder wanted to use it. I'm not sure how much traffic the Basic listings get aside from type-in traffic (it's too soon for me to tell).
If you have great names, i.e. one-word .io or .co or solid .com brandables or two-word combos, it makes the most sense to list them as Premium. If your names aren't the highest quality, a lot will probably get declined. You can always add the rest as Basic listings to test out the platform; just keep in mind the commissions at each level.
