Your business domain name is your unique website address that helps you build up your online brand and identity. For this reason, selecting the best business domain for your company can be an important marketing tool. Customers typically find a business by searching for a particular name or product on the internet, so having a recognizable domain name can help you attract future customers and expand your client base.
Set yourself apart from your competitors:
The majority of your customers will most likely discover your business by conducting an online search. For this reason, it’s important to have an easy-to-find URL that reflects the high-quality, professional services that you offer. By purchasing a professional domain name, you can increase the chances that potential customers will click on your website instead of the website of one of your competitors.
Help your customers find your website:
Creating a domain name that is memorable will help your customers find or rediscover your website when they are searching for the types of services you offer. A great way to ensure that customers will find your company is to use a domain name that contains a relevant keyword to your business. To better enhance your search engine results, it’s a good idea to purchase both the hyphened and un-hyphened versions of your company’s name. This will help you steer customers toward your main website and prevent a competitor from purchasing a similar domain name that could be easily confused with yours.
Create a more professional appearance:
When creating a domain name for your business, you should try to avoid using cute or overly clever phrases to highlight your services. Instead, focus on creating a business domain that reflects the services you offer in a professional, memorable manner. If your company’s name is quite long, you may want to purchase a domain name that uses your company’s initials.

The trademark process gives you exclusive rights to use the creative, unique name that you have created to identify your business. One of the most important parts of the trademark process is to ensure that another company does not currently have a trademark for the name that you have chosen.
If you need some help getting started with trademarking your name, slogan, or logo, you should visit the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s official website. There, you can familiarize yourself with some of the important trademark terms you need to know. This video explains how to successfully navigate this website and where you can seek additional help.

If you’re looking to gain exclusive rights to your company’s name, slogan, or logo, you will need to register these trademarks with the USPTO. By registering your trademarks, you are protecting your valuable intellectual property from being copied by another similar organization. You will have access to some important advantages when you entrust TradeMark Express to handle this complex process.
Free check for name at the USPTO
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is the U.S. federal agency that is responsible for registering new trademarks. If a name or slogan that you have chosen is already registered with the agency, you will be unable to use that name for your product or business. TradeMark Express will conduct a free check with USPTO to see if there is a conflict with the name or logo that you have chosen.
Same-day results
TradeMark Express will also search for any variations of your desired name or logo to discover any existing slogans that are similar in sound, appearance, or meaning. This comprehensive research will help us quickly determine whether or not you need to use your second choice for name or logo. At no additional cost, your research results will be available on either the same day or by the next business day. Other companies typically require a 75% surcharge for same-day service.
Step-by-step approach
A number of our competitors combine trademark research with common-law research, charging a combined fee for both services. By identifying whether or not your desired logo is available in the first place through trademark research, we will then conduct common-law research only on available slogans or logos. This means that you won’t be charged for common-law research of slogans that turn out to be unavailable in the first place.
If you would like to schedule a meeting with TradeMark Express, contact our office at (888) 703-2990. We have 15 years of experience helping clients register their trademarks. Once we determine that your slogan or logo is available, we will prepare and submit your USPTO trademark application.
