Naming Ecommerce Stores

SEO vs brand: balancing keywords with memorable brand names.

Trademark Lens Team

Name your store "CheapJeans.co.uk" and you're locked into one product category forever. Brand names like Gymshark can expand into any category and maintain premium positioning.

Brand > Keywords

Glossier, Gymshark, ASOS. None are keyword-stuffed. All dominate search.

If You Sell One Product Category

"MensSuits.co.uk" gives slight SEO edge. Works for niche stores.

If You Plan to Expand

Choose brand name. "BooHoo" can sell anything. "CheapJeans.co.uk" is locked in.

Amazon/eBay Store Names

Different rules. Descriptive names perform better on marketplaces. Brand names work for standalone sites.

Trust Signals

Avoid "Cheap," "Discount," "Wholesale" in name unless you're actually discount-only.

International Shipping

Don't include "UK" in name if you ship globally. Limits perceived market.
