Your brand is how customers, investors and future employees tell you apart, and it starts with your name and your web address. ## 1. A name people can remember after hearing it once The best AI brands are short and easy to say: one or two syllables, no unusual spelling. If people hear your name in a podcast or a meeting, they should be able to find you without asking how it is spelled. ## 2. A domain that matches the name exactly When your domain is your name, every mention of the brand sends people to the right place. Names like *getyourbrand-app.com* leak visitors and look temporary. A .ai address that matches your brand exactly, like **yourbrand.ai**, tells people you are an AI company before they read a word. Read [.ai vs .com](https://4ai.ai/ai-vs-com/) to compare. ## 3. Meaning or a blank canvas A descriptive word (code, quantum, health) explains what you do but can box you in later. A brandable word gives you room to grow and is easier to protect as a trademark. Both work, as long as the name is easy to say. Browse [brandable .ai domains](https://4ai.ai/ai-domains-for-sale/brands/) for ideas, or use our [.ai name generator](https://4ai.ai/ai-domain-name-generator/). ## 4. Check that you can own it Before you fall in love with a name, check trademark databases in your market and the social handles you need. A great name you cannot protect is not a brand. ## 5. Secure the domain early The right .ai domain gets harder to buy once your company is known: owners can see who is interested. Buying early is usually cheaper. Our [analysis of .ai sales](https://4ai.ai/news/what-43-public-ai-domain-sales-tell-us-about-which-names-sell/) shows how much the best names now cost. Ready to give your AI brand a name?
