FAQ
How do I come up with a name for a local service business?
Decide how literal to go: a city or trade in the name (Austin Drywall) helps neighbors place you fast, but it pins you to one place and one service if you expand. Brandable names travel better. Say each finalist aloud and have someone spell it back, since these names spread by word of mouth and over the phone.
How do I make sure a local business name isn't already taken or trademarked?
An open domain is not legal clearance. Search your state business registry, run a free USPTO trademark knockout search for your service class, and check Google Maps for a nearby business using the name. The availability badge here only means the domain is free to register, not that the name is yours to own.
Is a .com necessary for a local service business, or will a cheaper extension do?
A .com is the most trusted and the one customers guess, so we rank it first, but it is not required. A clean .co or .services works too, and a matching Google Business Profile and review-site listing often does more for getting found than the domain. Avoid extensions people misread when you say the address aloud.
