I NEED HELP Picking A Website Name! (the only thing I ever ask on here)

14 replies
Look... I've been trying not to do this a second time.
Cause I hate asking these types of questions.

But there are some creative geniuses on here who saved me A LOT of time last time I asked this question.

Once again, I'm stuck in a 3 week OCD / name cycle for my new website.

The last site you guys helped me with was a mold site. I believe it was steve the copywriter who's name I decided to run with (I really hope I'm not wrong about that but it was a while ago). Well I've grown to LOVE the name, the site is #1 in google now, and we do really well with it selling jobs locally.

Its been about 6-7 months and I'm ready to make a new site, this time in basement waterproofing. So once again I've gone through the long boring phase of scraping names in scrapebox, trying to rearrange words, using the thesaurus, but I SUCK AT NAMES. Its just not my thing.

I'm going to paste some of the names I've came up with, but you may not want to read them all because most of them suck.

Last time, the person who I got the name from, said they weren't crazy about it when they posted it. But here are the reasons I loved it so much.

1) When all of our competitors were trying to brag and sound elitist / big / corporate, our name was super friendly... nothing boastful at all about it. Which made it stick out.

2) It had an ALLITERATION to it which gave it rhythm.

3) It had our main keyword in the name (mold removal).

4) It had a subtle command like anchor in it, like the name told you to choose us, without telling you to choose us.

5) The abbreviated form of the name was smooth to pronounce.

---------

Now, you guys may not love it, but I do, the name was
(edited out name on second thought =])

I'm now looking for a name for "basement waterproofing". Its not a huge deal if both keywords are in the name this time, considering how many letters there are. But I do think it helped us with our rankings for our last site. EITHER WAY, if you guys can think of something friendly, with an alliteration, I'd be forever indebted to you all.


IF you need incentive this time, to get your brain juices going, let me know how important it is. I have no idea how much $$ would motivate you folks, but you helped me out for free last time, so I have no problem paying back some of that debt now lol.

Thanks - Rob

ps. The "brothers" names are because me and my brother do the selling / running of the company (encase anyone was confused).

    Couldn't you just use the same structure?

    mywaterproofingguys.com

    The double g isn't great to read, but it sounds alright and helps build your brand.

      +1 for MyWaterProofingGuys.com

      waterproofingworld.com also has a nice ring to it.

    Who cares what us idiots think.

    Run Adwords traffic and change Ppc headline to see which headline gets the most Ctr.

    A guy named Tim ferris used this method to name his book "4 hour work week"

    Another guy created a workout system called " just 4 minutes"

    They didn't guess.

    They tested.

    So stop reading this thread and start funneling traffic to see which headline wins.

    Then get that domain.

    Ps. I'm drunk and writing thus on an iPhone. So, buyer be aware.

    A waterproof barrier is like a skin, right?

    And Adam's post seems to indicate people like the number 4.

    That'll get the clicks.

      Who would be your market? Be specific. You have to have learned something by now who is attracted to your services.

        100% correct & thank you for setting the record straight. You gave us a name that has now turned into a successful family business for me & my brother.

        I'm sure you didn't think much of it at the time, but I have to show the ripple effect thats been triggered ever since you helped us out. I've had other sites before that I haven't invested this much time and money into, merely because I didn't like the name.

        This site has been the total opposite.

        Our last week, has been the best week we've ever seen in our lives. Together, me and my brother sold 4 jobs 4 days in a row, totaling $35,900. Although I only keep 12% of that, I've never seen that type of money my entire life.

        And I can't help but wonder what I'd be making if we had a name I wasn't so crazy about. I also can't help but wonder what the result would be if a copywriter did our homepage too. Nevermind just the name.

        Also, as far as this thread goes, I won't be needing help anymore. This is the first time I've picked a name on my own that I really like, so I'm gonna stick with it. It has an alliteration, its positive/friendly, nothing elitist about it etc etc. I also need to stop sharing so many details in a public forum, for my own sake.

        But thanks for all your help guys.
        And thanks x100 to Rick D.

          I'm happy for you, Rob! That's quite an achievement.

          When you and your brother are ready to ratchet up, let me know. No copy required.

    whatever you pick make sure it's easy to spell and type out.

    You're doing it wrong if you have to say "Drenched2Dry.com... with the number '2' not the word."

    Same goes for dashes.

    OK. The ones I like the best are:
    5starfixers.com
    5starwaterproofing.com

    these 2 are ok BUT can be confusing as it can read as west op instead of we stop.

    westopthewater.com
    westopthewet.com

    I hope that makes sense.
    Good luck.
