In today’s digital landscape, a custom domain is a must-have for establishing trust, professionalism, and a cohesive brand identity. With DealTrail’s Custom Domains feature, you can seamlessly integrate your own branded URL with all your marketing and CRM tools. Whether you’re launching a new landing page, creating a custom funnel, or building an email campaign, custom domains offer the ultimate personalization and consistency for your business.
Key Features of DealTrail’s Custom Domains:
• Brand Consistency Across Channels:
A custom domain ensures your branding remains consistent across all your digital marketing efforts. With DealTrail, you can create custom URLs for your funnels, landing pages, forms, and emails, all under your unique domain name. This consistency helps improve brand recognition and builds trust with your audience.
• Easier-to-Remember URLs:
Forget long and complicated URLs. Custom domains make it easier for your customers to remember your links, which is crucial for improving click-through rates and ensuring your audience can easily find and engage with your content.
• Better Email Deliverability:
When you send emails using your custom domain, they appear more professional and are less likely to be marked as spam. This enhances your email marketing efforts, ensuring better deliverability and higher engagement rates. Plus, you can also set up custom email addresses for a more personalized touch.
• Improved SEO Performance:
A custom domain boosts your SEO ranking. With DealTrail, integrating your custom domain with your funnels and landing pages ensures that search engines recognize your branded URL, increasing visibility and driving organic traffic to your business.
• SSL Encryption for Security:
DealTrail’s custom domains come with built-in SSL encryption, which means all data transferred between you and your visitors is securely encrypted. This is important not only for protecting sensitive information but also for building trust with your audience.
• Full Control Over Subdomains:
You can create subdomains for different campaigns, product offerings, or funnels. For instance, you could have offers.yourdomain.com or bookings.yourdomain.com, allowing you to keep everything organized and targeted for different purposes.
• Seamless Integration with Funnels and Campaigns:
Once you set up your custom domain, it’s easy to integrate with your funnels, landing pages, and email campaigns. DealTrail allows you to quickly assign your custom domain to any funnel or campaign, streamlining your workflow and enhancing your marketing efforts.
How to Set Up a Custom Domain in DealTrail:
1. Add Your Domain:
In your DealTrail dashboard, navigate to the “Settings” section and select “Domains.” You’ll be prompted to enter the domain name you want to use. Make sure you already own the domain through a domain provider, like GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Google Domains.
2. Verify Your Domain:
After entering your domain, DealTrail will provide you with a verification code. You’ll need to add this code to your domain provider’s DNS settings to verify ownership of the domain.
3. Configure DNS Settings:
Once the verification is complete, configure your domain’s DNS settings. This will involve adding specific CNAME or A-records provided by DealTrail. These records ensure your domain points to your DealTrail account, allowing you to use your custom domain with your funnels, landing pages, and emails.
4. Assign Your Domain to Funnels or Pages:
Once your domain is verified and set up, you can assign it to any of your funnels, landing pages, or campaigns in DealTrail. You’ll be able to select your custom domain from a dropdown when creating or editing these elements.
5. Set Up Custom Emails (Optional):
For additional branding, you can also create custom email addresses (e.g., info@yourdomain.com) that work with your custom domain. This helps keep communication professional and ensures all your marketing efforts remain cohesive.
6. SSL Encryption:
DealTrail automatically adds SSL encryption to your custom domain to ensure secure transactions and communication. No additional steps are required on your part—this feature is enabled by default for added security.
