Domain upgrade
Upgrade your domain to the .com your brand deserves
Started on a 'get' prefix, a hyphen or a different extension? Most growing companies eventually upgrade to their exact-match .com. Westmore makes that upgrade quietly and at the right price.
30+ years · $600M+ acquired

Why it matters
Customers type the .com, email leaks to it and investors notice it. An upgrade is often the last brand fix a company needs, and the earlier it is done quietly, the less it costs.

Frequently asked questions
Why upgrade to the .com?+
It is the default customers type and trust, it stops email and traffic leaking to someone else's site and it removes a brand compromise as the company grows.
Will changing domains hurt my SEO?+
Not if you migrate properly with 301 redirects, updated canonical tags and a Search Console change of address. Most sites recover rankings quickly.
What if the owner won't sell?+
Westmore tests interest without revealing you and, if the exact match is unavailable, scores the best alternatives so you still move forward.
How much does a domain upgrade cost?+
It depends on the name. We give you a valuation range from comparable sales before any approach.
