Professionals adopt .pro internet domain for branding and search engine optimization. "There is no better way of communicating that you are a pro.”

Showcase.Pro (www.showcase.pro) this month highlights .pro websites owned by Professionals. Professionals are using .pro for distinctive branding and search engine marketing, providing them a competitive edge over other professionals.

“A .pro address is perfect for branding a Professional service firm or consultancy,” 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. There is no better way on the internet of communicating to your customers that you are a pro.”

Professionals can choose from a professional-branded address, such as law.pro, cpa.pro, eng.pro or cpa.pro or from the generic .pro address, ideal for search engine marketing to specific markets or customers, such as www.investmentfraud.pro.
