"Batteries.com is indeed a rarity. With the emerging competition and explosive growth in batteries, this domain's inherent value proposition for a buyer is clear: an Internet address as distinct and easily located as the Louvre in Paris." — SEO Expert Karine Kugler
Batteries.com stands alone, defining an industry, by being highly memorable, credible and searchable, which can lead to large increases in site traffic and conversions into sales from strong consumer trust.
- There are 50,000,000 searches in the US alone each year that include batteries. Google’s algorithms reward shorter domains whose names include a keyword being searched.
- “Batteries” holds a Keyword Difficulty of 84%, reinforced by a Competitive Index of “1.00,” the toughest level, meaning it is very difficult or costly to achieve first-page search results.
- One-word "category-killer" domains dominate online searches in industries ranging from insurance (insure.com) and cars (cars.com), to hotels (hotels.com).
Batteries.com's new owner gains a significant competitive advantage for their brand and sales, with potential marketing cost savings in the tens of millions in an industry set to triple in size to $300 billion by 2027.
Powering Life — and the World Towards Positive Change
They ground us and they raise our eyes towards the heavens.
They are woven into our lives, often in amazing ways that most people can't even imagine. Their importance is only growing.
Batteries have become a life-force, sustaining and entertaining us, powering everything from our phones, pacemakers and hearing aids, to our cars, cities and spacecraft. At their simplest, they store energy until we need to use it. At their most complex, they hold the potential to avert wars, defeat global warming and enable our exploration of distant planets.
With our collective fate intricately tied to the best new battery technologies, the current owner of batteries.com is thrilled to be transferring this domain to an existing industry competitor, or to a new entrant, as a vital platform for promoting the future we all deserve.
