Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don't like any of the generated names?

Refine your [TRANSFORMATION] variable to be more specific or emotional, or change the [TONE] setting. You can also ask the AI to 'create variations mixing elements from suggestions #3 and #7' to iterate on partial wins.

How do I know if a course name is trademarked?

Always search the USPTO database (or your country's equivalent) and do a Google search with quotes around the exact title before finalizing. The AI generates original combinations, but common phrases may have existing trademarks.

Should I prioritize creativity or SEO keywords in the title?

Lead with emotional resonance and clarity for humans first—SEO second. Put primary keywords in the subtitle if they make the main title clunky. Platform algorithms prioritize click-through rate over exact-match keywords anyway.

Can this work for non-English course names?

Yes, but specify the target language in the [TOPIC] or add a variable [LANGUAGE]. Note that cultural nuances in power words and phrasing vary significantly by region.
