> [@EmilyG](#): > > Just so you guys know - I like all the suggestions so far, but I’m likely to lean more towards a professional-sounding name. > > This store is still somewhat far in the future for now - I have some sheet music for sale now, but probably not enough to have a whole store yet. This is smart. Please do some research on SEO - Search Engine Optimization - which is the term used to describe what Google and other search engines do to rank your page vs. others as a search result. There are a bazillion of online primers, courses, webinars, seminars, consultants, etc. whose entire focus is SEO as an evolving battle to rise to the top of online searches. Unless you have a LOT of money to take a made-up word and market the heck out of it to get it associated with your service, that can be a hard way to go. Your instinct is correct - “Emily’s Clarinet and Other Winds Sheet Music” - would be MUCH more likely to be identified by Google as - wait for it - a website focused on sheet music for clarinet and other winds. Okay - that example is a bit boring, but you get the idea. And if you feature they key words - likely to be “clarinet” “winds” and “sheet music” - prominently on every page and in all of the internal, website page descriptors - it will be much more likely that you are playing the SEO the best you can and will have a chance to picked up as a search result. Hope this helps. ---

trebleclefmusic or treblemusic I say treble since you seem to be targeting instruments in this range. PS - Used to play clarinet in middle/high school. Actually went to NC Governor’s school on Alto! ---
