For months now, a lot of the conversation that I’ve seen on Twitter has been around using exact match domains for simple websites that are just tools.

Think a site that does grams to ounces conversions.

I know that some of the talk on the Niche Pursuits podcast has been about sites like this as well.

On Twitter today, I saw that someone is going all in on this.

Before we jump in, I’ve got two sponsors today. First one is …

Double Your Referral Revenue in One Chat

Hey there! I’m a referral marketing nerd obsessed with building programs that unlock real value.

  • I’ve studied all the best cases (like Harry’s) + worked with 300+ Shopify plus brands

  • Helped companies build “referral armies” driving 10% of revenue (most only get 2%)

  • This year alone, I’ve generated over $5M in referral transactions.

Give me 15 minutes, and I’ll show you how to tap into your customers’ networks. Plus, I’ll buy you lunch ($20 UberEats voucher)!

And Also Programmatic SEO

Another easy peasy thing you can do with a site like that is use programmatic SEO to scale the number of pages of the site.

That’s what I’d do if I was building sites like this.

You can view his progress, as well as all the site’s he’s building out at https://mattmerrick.com/

I noticed that he’s also got a Build In Public thread on Twitter with more details about how he’s building the sites and stuff.

I love the hustle.

And I also love that he’s doing this in public cause we’ll able able to see what’s actually working and what’s not.

Should be something interesting to follow along with this year.

Have you built anything like this with exact match domains?
