How to run your first brand screening

You can run your first screening in under a minute.
That first report is a free preview: it gives you the score and a high-level read on each area, which is enough to decide whether a name is worth a closer look. To see the full detail — specific conflicts, every domain, handle-by-handle status, and alternative name ideas — unlock the full report with a credit.
Tips for your first run:
- Go to brandscreen.ai and enter the name you're considering in the search box.
- Click Check Availability.
- BrandScreen runs all five checks. Most complete in a few seconds; a couple of the live lookups (like state business registries) can take a little longer.
- When it's done, you'll see your report — the Brand Score up top, and a breakdown of each check below.

Tips for your first run:
- Try a few variations of your name, not just one. Small changes often make a big difference in availability.
- Stuck for ideas? Use the AI Name Generator to get brandable options that are already pre-screened across trademarks, domains, and handles.
