Benefits of Including Location in a Business Name
If you’re planning to stay in a particular area when forming a company, incorporating a specific location into your brand name can hold advantages.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
If you own a local business, chances are you will want to attract customers who live in the area. These potential customers will probably be searching for businesses specific to their city and state; if your name includes these keywords, it’s more likely that your company will show up at the top of their search results.
Google My Business Listings
The Google My Business platform is free and it comes with several benefits. Once you go through the verification process and your company is listed on the platform, you’ll be able to reach more customers in your area. Not to mention, once your company is part of Google My Business, when users conduct a local search for businesses on Google Maps, your business will pop up as one nearby! All in all, the platform will allow you to boost visibility and credibility.
Customer Connection
Including a location in your brand name will help to build closer connections with local clients and customers. For instance, if a potential customer has lived in a town for quite some time, they’ve most likely formed a loyalty to that town and strongly believe in the value of local businesses. This makes it more likely that the customer will be willing to support your company.
