# Custom Domain

{% hint style="info" %}
Instead of using a default Maker link, your pages can live directly under your website—for example, `pages.yourbrand.com`.
{% endhint %}

### What You Can Do

* **Connect a custom domain** (e.g., `maker.yourbrand.com`)
* **Show Maker-generated pages directly** on your site—no iframe or embed code needed
* **Support full SEO benefits** since the content is hosted under your domain
* **Design microsites, event pages, or landing pages** without touching your website backend

***

### Step-by-step

1. **Publish a Project** in Maker
2. **Go to Domain Settings** → Click “Connect Domain”
3. **Enter your custom domain** (e.g., `pages.yourbrand.com`)
4. **Verify your domain**
5. **Done!** Your Maker content now appears on your domain.

> Example:
>
> * Default: `yourbrand.maker.new/launch-page-2509`
> * Custom Domain:  [**`pages.yourbrand.com/launch-page-2509`**](http://pages.yourbrand.com/launch-page-2509)

***

### Root Domain vs. Project Path

* **Root project**: Appears directly on the homepage of your domain (`pages.yourbrand.com`)
* **Other projects**: Available under slugs like `pages.yourbrand.com/my-story`

***

### Why Use This Instead of Embedding?

* No iframes = faster load times & fewer issues
* Keeps your content under your domain for SEO
* Perfect for microsites or standalone campaigns

<summary><strong>Q:</strong> Will SEO still work?</summary>

Yes—if you connect your own domain. Maker content hosted under your brand's domain will get full SEO visibility.
