Company name advice please!

This seems hard to remember MCB E-Marketing LTD

I might go look for some keywords and incorporate that in a new catchy name.

Alberto

I agree with Alberto.
Marketing is good, easy to spell, type and remember. Combine marketing with another keyword that ranks well on Google AdWords. Try some longtail keywords that include marketing if you want to stick to that.

I definitely think you should consider changing it to something easier to remember, read, say - especially if you think you might sell it in the future.

You don't necessarily have to use keywords in your name since it could sound artificial or awkward. You're building a brand. For SEO, you'd put the keywords in your tags anyway. Remember that you're naming it for people, not search engines.

Think about a name that conveys the benefits and doesn't have words that offline business people won't understand. For example, I wouldn't use the word SEO in the name unless you're marketing to people who know what that is.

Benefits could be things like "profit" or "strategic" or "growth" etc

A name that conveys a little of what you do would be great too. Eg, a quick search just came up with a company called Strategic Web Marketing (obviously taken). You'll have to think about what offline businesses are using as search terms.

Hope that helps. Wish I could think of a name for you!

Thanks for your replies guys but im not really doing it for keywords or SEO as such.

Sharyn your answer was what i was looking for and has just confirmed what i already suspected that it does matter enough to go through the hassle.
and funnily enough im looking at synonyms for growth and startegy right now trying to brainstorm something up before i go out for dinner.
so far the best iv come up with is PIVOTAL WISDOM LTD?
Feed back apreciated,

Thanks

I think you should keep it simple. Your website : www.mcb.org ( com and net already taken)
The M can be from "marketing" etc.

Use your imagination !

Another direction might be "helping you get online" or alike.

Perhaps something related to plugging in or other synonyms for going online.

Something connected to a basic operation that offline people understand, like turning on the lights or something business focused like getting a new neon sign, relating billboard advertising to the huge potential available online

I agree with Sharyn though, do some offline brainstorming with some friends

Hi, I suggest you pick a short name and easy to remember. Something like mcb consulting, mcb corp, mcb partner etc

Company name is not that much important for people to remember it...
Make something shorter for your service name & introduce yourself with that.

Like I'm MCB E-Marketing LTD& I offer E-marketing solutions. so your company name goes behind your service name.

Thanks for the input everyone and i think i have decided on.

PIVOTAL WISDOM LTD


I really like it as it conveys what my company will be about, not just selling services but applying my marketing, business building and online knoledge together (wisdom) in customised integrated packages with the power to turn struggling businesses around (pivotal) towards growth and profits.

Now i have gotta go figure out the companies house name change procedure!
