Basic stuff for you to check your online profile

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Working today with a new client we discussed some basic stuff to do with knowing how you are represented online (particularly in places where you do not control the content).

  1. Set up a Google Alert to search weekly on a 'comprehensive' basis for your name.  Set this up in quotes so that it searches for your names concatenated.
  2. Google your own name. 
  3. Google obvious mis-spellings of your name [Rebekah Carrow]
  4. Check out Zoom Info for your name and click the button to say 'this is me' and edit the information to reflect your current contact details.

That's for starters.  Go for it!
