# Find brand names with a free .com

Purpose:: Find brand names whose exact .com is free and clearly tied to what people search for.

Rules::
- Exact .com of the brand name only
- Short and rare first; availability is hoped for, not aimed at
- Start from the target keyword or sprinkle it in (competitor finder becomes cometitor.com)

Inventory::
- The service and the 3-5 terms people search for it
- A registrar's bulk availability check

Steps::
1. Write down the service and its search terms
2. Brainstorm 30+ short names from those keywords
3. Check them in bulk; respell taken favourites and check again
4. Rank the free ones on shortness, sound and keyword link
5. Reply with 3 Winners, 7-10 Maybe, then every checked domain with ✅ or ❌

Metrics::
- Every winner and maybe is a free .com
- Each winner reminds you of the service at once
- Winners are names you would really consider
