People look for you by what you do. Be where they look.

The address a customer types when all they have is what you do and where.
We keep .com names that say, in ordinary words, what a business does, sells or serves. Each one goes to the company whose customers would reach for it first, at one figure stated in writing, and moves into your own registrar account before we are paid.

Said out loud, then typed
Somebody tells a friend about a good roofer, a bakery, a clinic, a supplier. The friend remembers the kind of business and the town, not the clever name on the van. Later they type what they remember. If that address belongs to you, the recommendation arrives. If it belongs to nobody, or to someone else, it goes wherever the search sends it.
A plain .com that names your trade closes that gap. It is easy to say on the phone, easy to print on a sign, and hard to mistype.
The names we hold, by district
We do not publish a list of names. We write to the business a name fits, and if you already have one in mind, you can ask whether we hold it.
Trades
Names made of a service in its everyday word: the job a customer needs done.
Local
A trade joined to a town or a region, for businesses that serve one area well.
Goods
A product category as shoppers say it, for makers and shops that sell it.
Services
Plain phrases for what a firm offers, for practices whose clients search by need.
From a short note to a name in your account
It starts with an email from Renata, or with yours. If the name interests you, you get one figure. If the figure works, a written agreement names the escrow service and who pays its fee. You pay into escrow, the name moves to your registrar account, and escrow releases the funds only once you can see it there.
The transfer itself takes days, not weeks. The slowest part is usually the time a company needs to agree internally, and that time is yours to take.
One person on SW Broadway
Maps Advisory is Renata Olivares, working from a ninth-floor office in downtown Portland. She writes every note herself, answers every reply herself, and will tell you plainly if a name is not a good fit for you.
