| 1. Use the shortest portion of the name that will help identify it. The text you search on doesn’t have to be unique to your business. Typing a shorter portion will bring up a list of names that you can scan through to find your business. This may give you more success than searching for the entire name, and not finding any exact match. |

(&, ‘n, -).
