Submit a High Quality Profile
- Tutorial #1-
BrandYourself is the first DIY online reputation management tool that takes you through the
process of improving Google results for your name.
So you can put your best foot forward online
TURN THIS INTO THIS
By boosting positive links & profiles about you, like:
A PERSONAL WEBSITE
NEWS ARTICLES
SOCIAL MEDIA PROFILES
(And other types of web content!)
BUT…
Not all links are created equal
Submit a positive profile or link about you that you want people to find when they Google your name in the My Links tab.Links rank differently in search results for a number of reasons
• How credible the domain/site it’s associated with
• how recent it was posted/updated
• Popularity - Views, likes, shares, comments, etc.
• Keywords - Where does your name appear & how many times !!
Social media profiles rank well because they are a credible site about you that can be
constantly updated
News initially ranks well b/c search engines view them as credible & relevant but may drop in
rankings once no longer relevant
