What's your online visibility strategy?

Sooner or later, customers go online to find out more about your

business and your reputation. What do they find when they search for

your name, or your company? How visible are you?

It’s no secret that successful business owners and professionals can

now have a strong Internet presence with little cost and without hiring

tech staff.

So what do your potential clients find when they "Google" you? Have you checked lately?

Hopefully they find more than a static brochure-style website full of industry jargon, company kudos, and marketing hype.

Think about it in terms of what prospects really want to find out when

they research you and your company... Here’s a big clue: what they want

to know is: can they trust you?

No hype, no fluff, no dry lists of achievements. Your prospects want

to learn more about you, and the people who are part of your

organization. And yes, it would be nice if you put a little personality

into your web presence. How else do you think they will begin to trust

you?

People do business with people, not with companies. On the Internet,

all you’ve got are words, design, and your brand. Your brand is more

than your logo. It communicates your core message and implies your

values.

For us, a business blog is the best platform for communicating to

build trust. But are you using your business blog with this goal in

mind?

Is your business blog consistent with your brand, your core message,

or are you "all over the map?" Are you using the same name, same tag

line, and your brand on your blog, on Facebook and other sites? It all

goes towards creating the kind of trust you need for effective online

visibility.

The Internet is easy, user-friendly, cheap, and effective for

getting your business found by the people who need your products and

services. But not everyone is smart about building the trust they need

with the people searching for their services on the Web.

You and your business needs to be seen everywhere: on your website,

your blog, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn. These sites and your branded

presence (photo, bio, logo, name) will create massive visibility to get

you found by the people who are your ideal clients.
