So You’re Naming a Service

Let’s zero-in on this for you…
Focus on these four ways that service names should enable success. Target what matters.
1. Sharpen Your Relationships
A service is fundamentally about an ongoing relationship and the confidence that it instills. A service name should reflect trust and connection and resonate with customers.
2. Clarify Your Vision
Ensure immediate understanding. This does not mean all service names need to be long, descriptive, 3-word names. A shorter, evocative name can work well with a descriptive trailer. And this will satisfy IP attorneys who will advise you that a name needs to be used as an adjective.
3. Aim for the Bullseye
A too narrowly defined service name can constrain expansion later on. But one that’s too broad may confuse customers without some explanation. Find the right balance.
4. Hone Your Digital Presence
How will customers find your service? If possible, secure the shortest, distinctive part of your service name as your domain name. If not, register your full service name with the trailer as your domain name. Set up your profile on relevant social media platforms and optimize your website content for SEO and local search to effectively drive traffic.
A Smattering of Service Name Successes
We named our own service: NameStorming®
See what we did there? We spun our service name from our company name and refer to it as our NameStorming Service (service is the trailer). It makes you think of a “brainstorming” process which was what we were going for.
