While social profiles are a great way to build up your rankings and listings in the search engines, what are some of the best ways for you to monitor every time your name or brand is mentioned on the internet? You could visit Google and search for you specific terms to see if there are any new movements, but this will take a lot of time. Instead you can use Google tools such as Google Alerts and “Me on the Web” to automate the process.
Other Quick Tips for Increasing Main Page Rankings
There are many other ways that you can rank on the first page of Google for your desired keywords and names as well, such as building out new web sites and blogs focused on your name, profile or business. The success rate using this method will vary depending on how complex of a name you are going after. Obviously if you have a generic name like “Joe Smith”, this will be quite tough. The more unique your name, the better chances you will have to own the complete first page of Google results. Also don’t be afraid to build out some long tail sites and posts to redirect traffic and links back to your main sites, further increasing their rankings.
If you’ve never take the time to see what other sites are ranking on the first page of Google of your personal or business name, now is the time to look. You are likely already ranking number one, but now you need to focus on owning the other nine locations as well!
