I am looking for some inspiration for a business/web site name.....
Basically I will be leading/guiding small groups of young mountain bikers and I am need of a name....
I am struggling to find something simple, but more importantly catchy....any suggestions please....
Well there're Orange bikes, so why not Apple?
from a searchengine perspective as simple as possible and with the place/area in the title
eg.
NortWestMTBGuiding
or whatever.
I am right on the border of Worcestershire & Shropshire, but I would be covering both area's 🙂
Ideally I am looking for something short, simple and catchy, harder than it sounds....
from a searchengine perspective as simple as possible and with the place/area in the titleeg.
NortWestMTBGuiding
or whatever.
I tend to go the opposite route, choose a name, any name, then market the crap out of it.
Do people Google mp3 player or ipod?
Google will find your page through good META tagging and well written text, I believe, so the name isn't that important, IME & O.
Short and memorable names.
Come ride with me.
Ride On
The Pedalers.
Granny Bashers.
44T up. 😉
On the up.
SINGLETRACK, seems quite good,
Mounty's bikes
or Mounty bike tours/guiding
Rideontime
You can get Black Box to do the music for your TV ad once you're huge...
Trailz
We use the name iPod because of market saturation. The market for guiding on the Worcestershire/Shropshire border is so tiny that won't work.
I suggest something short and descriptive.
Anyway, I didn't think there was any riding in Worcestershire? 🙂
EDIT: how about All Around the Wrekin? 🙂
area's
Mountys Bike's
Shropguides,co.uk
Midlandsmtbguides.co.uk
Rideshrops.co.uk
Guidesandrides.co.uk, that should get a lot of unwanted attention, 😳
Luckily enough I work in the field of SEO and have done so for the last 9 years.....so promoting online is not an issue 🙂
The name is the most important for me....
Thanks, chaps, keep them coming....

Molgrips, you are right, there is no biking to be found in Worcestershire, its all flat and boring.... 😀
All Downhill From Here.
StiperStoned.

No idea why, I just always thought it sounded great.
Another vote for using your name: Mounty Biking
Don't use the s or it'll sound like Sbiking
Guidesonbikes.co.uk
guideandbike.co.uk
Keep them coming....I will provide some 'beer tokens' for the chosen & winning name.... 😀
Hill Top mountain biking - we don't have any mountains
I have always want a business name with 'superleggera' in it. Although I think Touring having something to say about it.
Beacon Biking if you're anywhere near Worcs/Malvern?
Not really close to Beacon, more like Wyre Forest.
Basically I will be leading/guiding small groups of young mountain bikers
Pedalphiles
I like the idea of getting the area in. Maybe Severn Valley MTB or Severn Valley Riders
Leading groups of youngsters, got to be the Pied Piper of Bewdley 🙂
Garry's Glittering Gang
Pied piper of Bewdley, funny 🙂
Someone had already make the pedalphiles joke, gross!

Or a sensible one: Highwyre Guiding?
from the brief above it sounds like you'll be working with young people but presumably paid by adults for it? So you'll want something catchy but not gimmicky, so they trust you.
also not sure if you'll be based where you are for the forseeable future, so i'd possibly only use the location in your name if you think it will help market the business and your not likely to move / branch out.
i was thinking of synonyms of guide:
pathfinders
Pathfinder MTB
trailfinder
trail minders
ps. all this is from someone with no marketing background so may all be pish.
Wyred Rides or Ridez for the kids innit.
Are you independent?
IndieRides
Trail Speed
Trailtastic
Yo, follow my line

might be better for a dog walking service right enough.
Could shorten it to FML for the facebook generation
simple and obvious. location and what you do.
Shrop, drop & roll. SDR for short.
You're welcome.

Wrekin Bikin'
was my initial thought - but looking up through the posts, I think bobfromkansas has it with
"Wrekin crew"
The kids will like it. - you might just need to add a strapline "guided mountain biking" or similar on your marketing materials just to make it obvious what you actually do.
Some really good ideas, but I want to avoid geographical names/labels if possible....
chasemeboys.com
you're bound to get plenty of, erm, hits
[i]avoid geographical names[/i]
