Lock your handles. Before squatters take them.

Squatters and trademark trolls register your brand handles on Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube before you do. Recovering them later costs time, money, and PR risk. We reserve handles across 10 major platforms at the moment you form your brand, locking them in your name. Use them when ready; squatters cannot.

How it works

How we handle Social Handle Reservation, end-to-end.

Squatters and trademark trolls register your brand handles on Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube before you do.

1

Handle availability check

We check availability of your desired handle (@yourbrand) across major platforms: Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Threads, Pinterest, Discord, Reddit.

2

Alternative suggestions

If a handle is taken on some platforms, we suggest alternatives that maintain consistency (yourbrand vs. yourbrand_official vs. yourbrandhq). Aim for the same handle on all platforms when possible.

3

Account creation

We create accounts on each platform using consistent branding: profile picture (your logo), bio (placeholder or initial), website link. Accounts active but not posting until you take over.

4

Handoff

You receive credentials and full account access. Activate when ready. Use immediately or hold for product launch. Either way, the handles are yours.

FAQ

About the Social Media Handle Reservation Service.

What if my desired handle is taken?
We suggest alternatives that maintain consistency across platforms. Common: add 'official', 'hq', or similar suffix. Aim for the same handle across all platforms even if it requires some compromise.
Will I lose the handle if I do not use it?
Most platforms have inactivity policies but rarely enforce them aggressively. Twitter/X technically reclaims inactive accounts; in practice, posting once every 6-12 months keeps the account active. We help maintain the handles if you are not ready to launch.
Can I recover a handle a squatter took?
Sometimes. Trademark-based takedown via platform's IP team can work if you have trademark rights and the squatter is using your trademark. Not always successful. Easier to reserve before launch than to recover later.
Do you post for me?
No. We reserve and set up the handles. You operate the accounts. For content strategy and posting, we refer to social media marketing services.
What if I have multiple brands?
Reserve each separately. Common: parent brand plus product or sub-brand. Each gets its own handle reservation. Multi-brand pricing $299.
Should I reserve before or after trademark?
Either works; ideally simultaneously. Trademark takes 6-12 months for federal registration; meanwhile, you should hold the handles. Reserve handles when you settle on the brand name; trademark in parallel.
