What is a .report domain?
The .report domain is tailored for research publications, annual reports, market analysis, and compliance documentation. Consulting firms, market research companies, and corporate communications teams use it to host reports in a dedicated, professional namespace. It tells readers they're accessing structured, evidence-based content.

The SEO cost of moving reports to a .report domain
Before the naming argument, the search one, because it decides most cases. Every link your annual report or market study earns is a link to whichever domain it sits on. Publish at yourfirm.co.uk/research and those links strengthen the site that sells your services. Publish at yourfirm.report and they strengthen a separate domain with no history, no existing authority and nothing else on it. You have taken the most linkable thing you produce and pointed it away from the site that needs the help.
Google has been clear that the words in an extension earn nothing by themselves, so ".report" is not buying you relevance for report queries either. The split is a real cost paid for a naming benefit.
There are cases where it still makes sense. A recurring publication with its own identity and its own audience, a joint study across several organisations where no one firm's domain is neutral, or an incident and whistleblowing portal that has to look separate from the corporate site. Outside those, a folder or a subdomain does the same job and keeps the value at home.
Is .report the right choice for you?
We would rather sell you the right extension once than the wrong one twice.
.report works well if
- The publication has a brand of its own and outlives any single sponsor, so tying it to one firm's domain would be wrong.
- Several organisations produce it jointly and none of their domains is a neutral home for the findings.
- You need a reporting or disclosure portal that visibly stands apart from the corporate site, for whistleblowing or incident handling.
Look elsewhere if
- The report is marketing for your services. Moving it off your main domain sends every citation and link somewhere that cannot convert them.
- You publish one report a year. A folder on the existing site costs nothing and keeps the whole thing under one set of analytics.
- You expect the keyword in the address to help you rank for report searches. It will not, and the split domain makes ranking harder.
For most firms, a /reports/ folder on the main site keeps the links and the rankings where they are worth something. See .co.uk pricing.
.report vs .co.uk: which should you register?
The comparison people expect is which ending looks better. The one that matters is where your links accumulate. Research content attracts citations from journalists, trade press and other sites, and every one of those points at a domain. Keeping them on the .co.uk that also carries your service pages compounds over years. Sending them to a .report starts a second, thinner site from nothing.
Where the .report earns its keep is when separation is the point rather than a side effect: a publication with its own name and its own following, a joint venture between organisations, or a disclosure channel that has to look independent. In that case the split is deliberate and the .report says what a subdomain cannot. Otherwise, buy the .co.uk, publish in a folder, and spend the difference on making the report worth citing.
.report domain questions, answered
What people ask us before registering a .report domain.
Can't find what you're looking for?
Ask us directlyUsually not. An annual report is one of the few things a firm publishes that other people link to voluntarily, and those links are worth more pointing at the domain that also holds your service pages. A separate domain collects them somewhere they cannot help you sell anything. Separate it when the publication has its own identity, its own audience and a life independent of your brand, or when it has to look neutral. Otherwise a folder is the better answer.
The extension itself is neutral. Google stated in 2015 that new generic extensions are treated like .com and .org and that keywords in an extension confer no advantage or disadvantage. What can hurt is the decision that usually comes with it: moving content onto a brand new domain that has no links, no history and no other pages, then wondering why it does not rank. If you do go ahead, plan for the fact that you are starting a second site from scratch.
The other common reading is reporting as an action rather than a document. Whistleblowing lines, incident disclosure pages, safeguarding portals and abuse reporting channels all suit an address that looks separate from corporate marketing, because the separation is part of the reassurance. It is short, it says what the page does, and it is easy to print on a poster. That use has a different logic to the publishing one, and it is the case where a standalone domain is easiest to defend.
