Combining sites. But what domain to use?

[blitzna10]

So we currently have two websites:

www.thephotoboothguys.co.uk and www.thephotoboothguys.com.au

We're redeveloping our sites, and combining them to have just a singular website (and then sub sections for each country / location).

Unfortunately we can not get the .com of our domain, nor the _.net _And I really can't find a .com that i think will work (for lack of availability, or just because the domain name would not be succinct enough).

So, I also have registered - www.photobooth.gy and www.thephotoboothguys.co
My question ultimately is - is it a bad idea to use a .gy or .co as my main domain - especially when we dont operate in either Guyana or Columbia - but, assuming that the content and structure of the website make it clear what countries and locations we do operate in.

Is this something Google et al will figure out over time? Or is it likely to make a huge impact? Or should I be searching harder to find a .com that will work for me?

Cheers!

If it were me, I'd keep looking.

Nothing wrong, from a SEO perspective, with going with .gy or .co. I just think you'd be explaining "it's not a .com" and spelling the extension for years. It's less memorable. You'll get a lot of questions. You'll frustrate people with fat fingers.

How about "thepbguys.com". It's a funky (in a positive way) name for a funky (in a positive way) site and also still available.

I would also keep looking or stick with www.thephotoboothguys.com.au

the .gy or .co are not worth a switch, imo.
