HTTP or HTTPs for competitor URLs?

[Erik_Holm]

When setting up my competitors, should I use their http or https URLs?

Thank you!

If they have an SSL, I would use their https site, or you can just visit their website and copy and past whatever version displays.

Hey Erik, Dave from the help team here,

HTTP is best, adding the protocol isn't even necessary, we will auto default it.

example.com will end up http://example.com

Hope that helps!

[Erik_Holm]

Great. Thanks.

What about "example.com" versus "www.example.com"? Is the "www" needed?

IF the webmaster has everything set correctly, you should use http. If you use https and it's not secure it's broken, they should have http and www. all pointing to the secured version
