KnowEm: Do You Control Your Name?
KnowEm: Check, check, check that name!
People constantly talk about how important a name is to a business. They usually follow that declaration up by emphasizing that a good domain name is just as important. What people often forget is how important it is to register the name of your business on all the major social media sites. Now some of you might be saying, “Whoa, there! I’m not interested in putting in the time to maintain a bunch of social media sites. I have my hands full just running my business.”
Fair enough. One day though you might want to use one of those social media sites for your business. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the name already and not have it occupied by some squatter? Or worse yet, have someone using your business’ name on one of those social media sites in a way that might damage the image of your business? Imagine how damaging it would be if someone was twittering nonsense or, worse yet, hate speech using your business name.
Terrible thought isn’t it? Still, it is daunting thinking about how long it would take to go through all the different social media sites to see if you can register with the name of your business. That’s where KnowEm.com comes in. KnowEm allows you to put in the name that you want to register. It then checks over 350 social media sites and tells you if the name you want to register is available or already taken. If the name is available and you want KnowEm to register the name of your business on a bunch of the sites for you, they offer paid services that can do just that. Sure those aren’t free, but if you want to register on a lot of services, the saved time might be well worth what you pay.
