Descriptive domain vs business name domain

[JPRichardson]

I originally set up my domain as "overlandparkphotographer.com" and then have my "jpshots.com" pointing to it. What I recently discovered is that even though the pages of my I set Yost SEO Title to be "JPShots Senior Pictures | Wedding Photographer" When you search "overland park photographer" the snippet tile is just "overland park photographer" which sounds super sketchy.

I don't know if this is something to do with yost, or if my sneaky Domain isn't worth much, and I should simply use my regular jpshots.com domain as the primary. I know it works like a charm with yahoo, but I'm not sure how much the domain name factors google these days.

Sounds like something left behind in your meta tags somewhere or possibly page headings (H1, H2 etc).

Out of preference I would utilise a shorter domain name.

Domain name will have a small impact, but it is very small, hardly detectable.

I would look at it from a branding perspective, JP Shots is much more brand friendly.
