Is Google Ruining Your Personal Brand?

Personal Brand and Google Search Results“Hmm, what was her name?” I thought as I opened up Google.

“I think it was Jane Olsen, but is it Olsen with an e, or Olson with an o…?”

I entered the first option into the search bar.

A Facebook link was first, so I clicked that.

“She’s in the right city, but this can’t possibly be the real estate professional my friend told me about. There’s nothing ‘real estate’ here … just cats, tattoos and concerts.”

I click back to the Google search results.

The next link goes to the results of a running race. The next link is for a city petition. There are eight results, but none seem to fit.

This isn’t working, so I try the other version of the name with ‘realtor’ beside it.

Ten minutes later, I haven’t found Jane, but I did find another real estate agent who had some interesting blog posts, so I reached out to him instead.

Jane failed the Google test. Make sure you don’t miss out on business because of your Google test results.

Your ideal client will probably look for you online. Make sure you can be found.

But, it goes further than that.

Can they easily connect with you to do that?

I am not a salesman, I hate sitting across from people thinking I need to sell them something. Now, I feel more confident that I am the prize. I realize the fit is more important and the push back actually pulls people in."

~ Mike Bugg, Saskatoon, Sask, Happy Coaching Client

~ Gillian Irving, Toronto, ON, Happy Coaching Client

"Julie showed me how to gain clarity on my unique strengths and present them so that their value was unmistakeable. I have no problems landing contracts, getting partners on my projects, I even used it to get the case dropped on a recent traffic ticket."

~Janali Davis, Toronto, ON, Happy Coaching Client

"Julie Broad's intense credibility and her willingness to assist others who are also "the real deal" is what sets her apart from the other "elite" coaches and instructors. When Julie Broad is speaking on a subject you better take notice - she's done the research and hardest work so you can do it the easier way."

Jeff Trapp, Regina Real Estate Club Founder & Happy Coaching Client

“We've had Julie out to speak a few of our exclusive member events and she was a hit every time. We continue to hear great feedback on her talks. She is engaging and authentic AND she shares concrete steps to help her audience get from where they are to where they really want to be.”
