Treasurers know DebtBook. "Monetary" is a word that fills the news with central banks and the IMF, so someone who hears the new name at a conference and searches for it may not land on monetaryhq.com.

Why it works
Put "Monetary (formerly DebtBook)" in the title and first line of the homepage, product, pricing and story pages for the next year; rename the 21 story URLs with redirects; update every directory listing (G2, Capterra, GFOA and state association vendor lists, LinkedIn, Google Business Profile); and buy brand-plus-category search terms like "Monetary treasury software".
A rebrand is the one moment a company can lose its own name in search. Keeping the old name attached costs nothing and protects every inbound lead the SDR team works.
Risks and how to handle them
Keeping the old name slows the new brand
Drop the "formerly" line after 12 months or when brand clicks recover.
