Clear names win local customers

For a service business, a clear name often beats a clever one. When someone searches for a cleaner or a hair salon nearby, a name that includes the service is easy to understand in the results. A name like 'Bright Home Cleaning' tells people what you do before they click.

Trust matters too. Words like care, trusted, pro and family suggest reliable service. For boutiques and studios, a more stylish or personal name fits better, because the shop's look is part of what customers are buying.

• Include the service word for trades and home services.
• Use a stylish or personal name for boutiques and studios.
• Keep it short enough for a van, a shop sign and a map listing.
• Make sure the name is easy to say clearly when you answer the phone to a new customer.

Checks before you register

Search maps and local listings to make sure no nearby business uses the same or a very similar name. Check your local business register and trademark records. Make sure the website address and social handles you want are available.

Then picture the name in real life: on a shop front, a uniform, a business card and a phone greeting. If it works in all of those places and still sounds right when you say it ten times, you have a strong name.

If you plan to grow into more services, avoid a name that locks you into one. A name like 'Smith Window Cleaning' is clear, but 'Smith Home Services' leaves room to add gutters, gardens and more later.
