For the record, oneononemeeting.com is still available, and probably only another $10.98 on namecheap. Forget SEO, try word of mouth.

I’d also suggest buying similar names like 1on1meeting.com, etc. I have no idea if that specific url is available. But buying related urls is helpful for people that forget how to spell the original (especially if they hear the name from a friend orally)
