Social Media and branding consultant, Boston, NECN TV, on Google rankings, (617)-PATRICK, Feb 2013, w/ Steve Aveson
What happens when Google results for your name aren’t accurate?
My interview with Steve Aveson, rock star anchor at NECN…
- Do a Google search for your name
- Look for the things employers might look for, like
- “Patrick O’Malley” arrested
- because they want to see if you’ve been arrested
- Look for the things employers might look for, like
- Get "Google alerts" by email, for free, if anyone adds a page to the Internet that has your name in it
- See if there is a person with your name who has a checkered past
- Tell potential employers, dates, etc.
- Fixing an inaccurate page can be very difficult and time consuming, but here are a few tips
- Buy your domain name, ex: youname.com for $10 a year
- Do a Google search for "online reputation management"; Google has a free tool that shows up in the results, such as how to remove a webpage from Google searches
- Create a Facebook page and LinkedIn profile, since they will rank highly
