Custom Domains Overview

Using a custom domain with Lead Fuel CRM gives your funnels, websites, and emails a professional, branded appearance. Instead of using a default URL, your content is served from your own domain name, building trust and brand recognition with your audience.

Why Use Custom Domains

Custom domains provide several important benefits:

• Professional Branding: Your funnels and websites display your own domain (e.g., www.yourbusiness.com) instead of a generic platform URL.
• Trust and Credibility: Visitors are more likely to trust and engage with content on a branded domain.
• Email Deliverability: Sending emails from your own domain with proper authentication improves inbox placement rates.
• SEO Benefits: Search engines associate content with your domain, building your site's authority over time.
• Brand Consistency: Maintain a unified brand experience across your website, funnels, and email communications.

Types of Domains You Can Configure

Lead Fuel CRM allows you to set up custom domains for several purposes:

• Website Domain: The primary domain for your Lead Fuel CRM-built website (e.g., www.yourbusiness.com).
• Funnel Domain: A domain or subdomain for your sales funnels and landing pages (e.g., offers.yourbusiness.com).
• Email Sending Domain: The domain used for sending emails to improve deliverability (e.g., mail.yourbusiness.com).
• Tracking Domain: A custom domain for link tracking in your email campaigns.
• Client Portal Domain: A branded domain for your client-facing portal (e.g., portal.yourbusiness.com).

Domain Requirements

Before setting up a custom domain, you need:

• A registered domain name from any domain registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, Google Domains, etc.).
• Access to your domain's DNS settings at your registrar.
• Basic understanding of DNS record types (CNAME, A records). This guide will walk you through the process.

Tip: If you do not already have a domain, purchase one that matches your business name or brand. Keep it short, memorable, and easy to spell. A good domain name is an investment in your brand's online presence.
