Canadian company doing business in the US - Quick thoughts on this TLD question?
We're a Canadian marketing company but plan on expanding down to the US (initially through warm leads but eventually through cold outreach, and on track to open a branch)
We can't get the .com for our URL because someone is squatting on it and wants an outrageous amount of money for it.
We have the following TDLs: CompanyName.ca, CompanyNameInc.com, CompanyName.net
Question: Given that we want to do the majority of our work with US clients (though keep Canadian ones and grow in Canada too, but equally as much in the US if not more) is a .ca a bad move? Does it seem like spam to American's, especially via cold outreach?
We like how much cleaner .ca looks. I've searched how ccTDLs effects Google rankings and we're not too worried about it.
The main issue is should we go with the longer URL that's a .com because .ca will look off to American small business owners? We figured .net was the most spammy looking of the three, but I could be way off on that?
Thank you in advance for your insight!
