Maybe one out of a hundred are longer, and there\u2019s a reason for that. Consumers have a very short attention span: they might remember a word\u2026 but they won\u2019t bother trying to remember a phrase, especially if it\u2019s a business name!<\/p>\n<p>If you choose to shorten your dog grooming business name by turning it into an acronym, make sure it\u2019s 2-3 letters, max. <\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;40&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;8449&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;40&#8243;]<div class=\"iwithtext\"><div class=\"iwt-icon\"> <i class=\"icon-default-style steadysets-icon-phone-landscape accent-color\"><\/i> <\/div><div class=\"iwt-text\"> \n<h3>Make it Internet Friendly<\/h3>\n<p>Next, you\u2019ll want to make sure that the business name can be registered online.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, your website will be \u201cwww.YourBusinessName.com\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Write it out in front of you before you register it as your website domain.

Just consider that you\u2019ll forever be in an online competition for visitors with that first website.

If you have other top contenders on your business name list where you CAN register that very website\u2026 that might be a better choice.<\/p>\n<h4>If the .com is unavailable:<\/h4>\n<p>When looking into registering a website, you might find that \u201c.com\u201d is taken, but \u201c.info\u201d or \u201c.net\u201d or \u201c.au\u201d or some other extension is available. Again, you can choose to go down this road, but make it an informed decision.<\/p>\n<p>Customers will typically look for a \u201c.com\u201d first.
