I think that the issue of online visibility is not only in a correctly chosen name, but in the development of a technical brand and its uniqueness. These are logos, positioning, and colors. Here's a good article to help you figure it out https://jetsoftpro.com/blog/how-...

For my service dinibo.com I wanted something exotic, easy to remember, easy to find online and I don't care you don't understand what my service does by the name, to me is better having a unique name that you can find in the first positions on google search or others search engines

I like using shortform versions of words that relate to your startup's value prop or the problem you solve. Also consider names with alliteration or a nice rhyme/rhythm to them, as those tend to be memorable. But def keep it short and simple, and make sure the .com is available. Oh and puns/plays on words can work well too if done right!
