First timer needs help picking a domain name

I am building my first website for my business in Long Beach, California. I'm a loan officer, and I originate purchase loans, and refinances. I've researched the topic and have heard several schools of thought that seem to conflict. Obviously all the good names are taken, as I only want to use a .com domain. I'm torn between using my name (for branding), including my location (for localization), and using keywords...or a combination. Here is what I'm thinking:

MyLongBeachHomeLoan.com
LBHomeLoans.com
AlissaAlvarez.com
AlissaAlvarezLoans.com

Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks

Hi

I think the best domain is your brand AlissaAlvarez.com ,because the others are very long and hard for someone to remember,and for each one you choose you will need a good SEO ,and it's better to have your brand quite easy to remember.
Some more tips about this you can find here : removed

Thanks so much! I've also been reading that certain keywords have greater difficulty to compete with...such as home, mortgage, and loans in my market. Brand is looking like the way to go. Thanks again!

From the domains above I would say

MyLongBeachHomeLoan.com - good for SEO
LBHomeLoans.com - good for SEO
AlissaAlvarez.com - not good for SEO
AlissaAlvarezLoans.com - not good for SEO

are you local or national.

Find a keyword that you want to rank for that has search volume that you believe would make business for you.

https://adwords.google.com/o/Targeti...AS#search.none

Pick a domain name with that phrase in it that you want to rank for. Hope this helps.

I suppose that you should show all the domains you are thinking to reg because any webmaster can reg it before you will.

As for me, I like BHomeLoans(dot)com better than any mentioned here.
