A consistent handle, everywhere

The social slice of your report shows the handle on each platform that matters — so you don't launch as @brightpath on one app and @getbrightpath on the next.

  • The major platforms checked together.
  • A clear open / taken read for each one.
  • Spot a consistent handle you can own across all of them.

FAQ

Handle search, answered

Which platforms do you check?
The platforms most brands need on day one — Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube and LinkedIn — looked up together so you can find one consistent handle.
Is "open" a guarantee I can register it?
No. Handle availability is a point-in-time check and can change at any moment, and each platform has its own naming and trademark rules. Treat it as a strong signal, then claim the handle directly to be sure. See our Disclaimer.
Does a free handle mean the name is clear?
No — an open handle says nothing about trademarks, domains, or entities. It's one signal of several; BrandScreen rolls all of them into a single report so you see the full picture.
What if the exact handle is taken?
It's worth weighing how much a non-matching handle hurts the brand. Many teams adjust the name slightly to find a variant that's open everywhere — which is exactly why checking early pays off.
