The decision
A service name should help a customer recognize the work and decide whether to investigate further. A distinctive label can support the brand, but it still needs a clear explanation. Avoid making people decode internal terminology before they understand the offer.
In practice
A package called Growth Engine could mean advertising, websites, or sales operations. Add a specific description of what is included and who it serves. Test names alongside the actual buying decision rather than judging them only in isolation.
- List candidate names, describe the scope beneath each, and ask representative customers what they expect.
- Check consistency across navigation, proposals, and delivery documents.
- Review relevant naming and ownership considerations before committing to a public name.
When to take the next step
Review names before publishing new packages or reorganizing navigation. Ask buyers to explain what they would expect to receive from each name and description.
Questions clients ask
