Do you own the top spot on Google for your name? Do you dominate the page?<\/h2>\n

\"digital<\/p>\n

Today I want to talk about how important it is to make sure that you have the right profile links setup to dominate the search engines.<\/p>\n

When you type your business name into Google the first thing you will see, hopefully, is your business name. Unfortunately, many businesses do not see\u00a0that.<\/p>\n

Did you know that 1 billion names are searched in Google every single day.<\/p>\n

What that means really simply is that your customers, your prospects, your staff, your friends<\/a>, even your first date way back when, has probably Google\u2019d you at some\u00a0point.<\/p>\n

Something else to consider is that about 94% of people only look at the first page of search engine results, so if you need to make a good impression you\u00a0better be on the first page otherwise you won\u2019t be found.<\/p>\n

The first problem is that most small businesses don\u2019t have good quality listings on the first page results<\/a>. As a matter of fact only about 2% of businesses\u00a0actually dominate the first page of Google, for instance, with a search for their own business name.<\/p>\n

The next problem is that only about half of businesses own the first result when somebody does a search for their business name, and about 25% of small\u00a0businesses have no positive content at all the first page to help their businesses reputation.<\/p>\n

And even worse, about 15% of all businesses have at least one negative result on the first page.<\/p>\n

Now we can discuss how you\u2019re going to fix that problem.<\/p>\n

Creating social profiles that rank well<\/h2>\n

The number one social media profile that your business needs to create is a LinkedIn<\/a> profile.<\/p>\n

LinkedIn ranks higher than any other social profile for small businesses. It\u2019s also great for networking, which is the true purpose of LinkedIn, but more\u00a0importantly for you its going to rank your business in a top position.<\/p>\n

Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> follow behind that, but you want to make sure that you create a very positive LinkedIn profile first.<\/p>\n

Make sure that you don\u2019t leave out the the hottest social media platform out there, Google+<\/a>. Google+ is growing rapidly and is much more relevant than\u00a0Facebook and Twitter for businesses.<\/p>\n

Create a Google+ profile today and then set up authorship for your website. This will enable you to not only rank well but also to add a picture of\u00a0yourself or your business next to your listings. This is huge for click through ratios.<\/p>\n

Once we are done with the big three in social media, we can start talking about WordPress<\/a>. You\u2019ve probably heard about WordPress somewhere before and know\u00a0that it is a blogging platform.<\/p>\n

There are multiple blogging platforms out there to choose from like Tumblr<\/a> and Blogger<\/a>, but WordPress is the best. WordPress outranks Tumbler and blogger\u00a0blogs much more often. So setup your wordpress blog now, and start blogging!<\/p>\n

Also important to create is video channels. YouTube<\/a> is by far the most popular video platform out there. You may know already that Google owns YouTube. And\u00a0traditionally YouTube ranks very well.<\/p>\n

Another great video platform is called Vimeo<\/a>. You don\u2019t need to create special content just for Vimeo, you can use the exact same content used on your\u00a0YouTube profile.<\/p>\n

Video is one of the best ways to rank well in search engines!<\/h2>\n

Finally let\u2019s discuss photo sites. If you want to put your photos online in an effort to draw traffic there are a lot of different options to choose from.<\/p>\n

However, one site stands out by far. Flickr<\/a> is the only site that ranks anywhere near the first two pages in the research done.<\/p>\n

Other recommended profiles to help you get more rankings include Meetup<\/a>, Foursquare<\/a>, Digg<\/a>, StumbleUpon<\/a>, Squidoo<\/a>, About.me<\/a>, and Delicious<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Get to work!<\/h2>\n

The best way to own page 1 is to have a ton of profile links. The more you create, the better the chance that they will show up.<\/p>\n

Obviously, you want all\u00a0these profiles to have a link back to your website.<\/p>\n

Get started now and you will be dominating page 1 in no time. \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
