Is there a lot of competition for the keyword, or existing negative content that may be mistakenly associated with the brand? On the flip side, are there few substantial existing results for the keyword that will make it easier to establish the name once it is launched? These are all things that should be considered when starting a brand.
2. Identify and choose proper keywords: The name of a brand is not the only thing that will be searched says Internet reputation management company Reputation Maxx.
