BrandYourself Tutorial Series

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

This tutorial will take you through the steps of boosting high quality

links with BrandYourself
