Well done - congrats on shipping! Just be aware Landr is a pretty established audio mastering platform. Not that I'm trying to convince you to 'rebrand' (although certainly easier earlier rather than later) - but picking something where you don't compete on a name will make it far easier for you to 'win' in organic searches and if you ever buy ads (I see Landr already bid on their own name).

Good luck with it all!

Thank you :)

You're right. I have got this feedback about the audio company several times after the launch.

I wanted to know if I can keep the same domain but rebrand with a different name? Would having a domain with landr in the domain name be a problem later?

Honestly, if it was me I'd just buy a new domain that is, or is as close to the service name as you can get. For the sake of $10 it's going to make everything easier for you.
