What she does

Fiona handles the buying and placing of exact-match .com names: addresses that spell out a trade, a product or a region. She offers each one to the few companies it actually describes, most of them owner-led firms, professional practices and growing mid-market brands across the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast.

She came to it from some six years spent on brand strategy for online businesses and on managing collections of domains, where the same question kept coming up from the client side: the name a customer would type was held by someone else, and nobody knew how to ask for it without the price doubling. Coadapt is the answer she would have wanted then. A plain note, one figure, and no fuss if the timing is wrong.

How she writes

Briefly, and to one person. A note from Fiona names the address, says in a sentence why it fits your business, and asks whether you would like to hear more. She does not copy your colleagues, follow up every few days, or suggest that the name will be gone tomorrow.

Where she works

From an office on Market Street in Center City West, among law firms and business advisers, a few minutes’ walk from Rittenhouse Square with the Schuylkill just beyond. Calls and meetings are on Philadelphia hours; buyers further afield are usually happy with email.

Why “Coadapt”

Two things that change to fit each other. A good name and the company it describes should fit that way, and so should the deal: shaped around how your firm buys, not around a script.
