    Is it a good idea (for branding) to have your company name in the domain. For instance our compnay is Luxico and we have a couple of businesses. Would www.window-film.co be better than luxicowindowfilm.com? Im thinking having the compaay name will be better for brand recodnition as we have other site luxicowindowtinting.com, (better than windowtinting.co?) luxicosignsanddecals.com (better than signsanddecals.co?)

    In deciding the domain name understand two fact-
    1>>If you are selecting the domain which includes the keywords name then it will be give support in you seo
    2>>But if you added your company name then it will not much seo supportive.

    So if you feel that ranking is important for you then choose first option else if you feel your brand is too much popular and no needed ranking benefit the add company name in domain.

    I totally agree with the opinion mentioned above. keyword reach domain name is much more helpful and important but if for you the brand is more important take 2 domain names: one brand name and the other keyword reach domain and optimize the last one but do not forget to do 301 redirect into brand named domain.

    You should use domain that will be reflecting your company name as for example Amazon.
    It's call branding and that's what you should do in combination with strong keywords in title and description but not in domain itself.
