Who does google think you are?
Inspired by Marketing magazine’s regular piece ‘who does google think you are?’, I googled myself.
A bit narcissistic, yes, but also very enlightening. I must have a pretty unusual surname as I appear to be unique on google – and my earlyish adoption of social media seems to have paid off too as page one of my google results features my blog, linkedin, facebook, twitter and flickr. “Dream results” as the lovely Lisa (LW on our twitter feed) put it.
Try it yourself – and not just for your own name but your business or brand too. Like what comes up? Or is the stuff you’d really like people to find, like your website and great customer reviews stuck on page five?
One of the great things about working with an online PR specialist like OnVisible is that they can help you be more visible (geddit?) on the web by creating and seeding compelling content. And of course, visibility on the web really means starting with getting your google results pointing in the right direction.

Really I feel that Google Buzz’s release was a little premature, especially with the privacy issues. I also think that Google’s possibly going down the same path that Windows experienced around the time of Windows 98. There releases and products seem to be less and less thought through and I feel that rushed to attempt to be a first to market, and or compete with a competitors release. The privacy issue was was a problem that didn’t require a computer science degree to figure out, a very basic idea session would have shown these issues. Do you think Google may have received too much credit last year?
