How to use Flowdiction step by step: from idea to a verified domain

Step 1 — Generate candidates

Open the business name generator and type two or three words that describe your project. Keep the list of ideas wide at this stage: you will cut it down with data, not with taste alone.

Step 2 — Check availability across extensions

Paste your favourite name into the availability checker or the domain search page. You will see the same name across many extensions with first-year and renewal prices, so you can spot a cheap first year that hides an expensive renewal.

Step 3 — Appraise the strongest names

Run each finalist through the free appraisal. The score combines length, readability, extension strength, keyword demand and comparable sales. Read the explanation under the score, not only the number: it tells you which factor is helping or hurting the name.

• Short and pronounceable beats long and clever.
• .com still carries the most trust; other extensions must fit the audience.
• Avoid hyphens, numbers and trademarks.

Step 4 — Compare side by side

Put two to four candidates in the domain comparison tool. Authority, backlinks, age and history appear in one table so the trade-offs are obvious. For expired domains, check backlink quality before trusting any authority figure.

Step 5 — Audit, save and share

Before you launch, run the SEO audit to catch technical issues. Add names you are still watching to your watchlist, and use the copy or share buttons under any result to send it to a partner in one click.

Frequently asked

Are the tools free?

The core appraisal, availability check, name generator and comparison are free with daily limits. Paid plans raise those limits.

Is the appraisal a guaranteed price?

No. It is an estimate based on public signals and comparable sales. The final price is whatever a buyer and seller agree on.

What if I type an invalid domain?

The search box shows a clear message and asks you to enter a name such as example.com before running the analysis.
