Every day, we see hundreds (maybe even thousands) of brand names. We see them so often that we get used to them. These brands may even take on important meaning for our lives. 

Building this type of recognition and relationship with your brand mainly takes three things: time, a good reputation, and, most important of all, consistency.

The key once you pick a business name is to stay consistent. That means using the same business name everywhere.

And we mean the same everything: same spelling, same spacing, same capitalization same amount of words, and (if applicable) the same punctuation.

Exercise: Copy Block 1 — Business Name

✏️ Fill this in once. Copy it everywhere.

My official registered business name (official): ___________________________________ My alternative business name I use everywhere for consistency (alternative): ________________________ (Note: your alternative business name may be the same as your official business name) My business URL (website address): ______________ Paste your alternative business name into: • Elevate Directory → listing title • Google Business Profile → business name • Yelp, Facebook Page, Instagram, LinkedIn → business name Use your official business name on legal documents.
