In this step-by-step tutorial, get tips on how to get the most out of your BrandYourself profile. BrandYourself helps you improve the type of webpages / profiles that show up in search results when someone Googles your name. Profiles come with a free BrandYourself account and are a professional webpage dedicated to YOU. Learn how to optimize your profile to rank well in search results, show you in the best light as possible and even let you know when someone Googles your name.

-your-

2. That’s Pete,
BrandYourself’s
co-founder!
Submit a positive profile or link about you that you want people to find
when they Google your name in the My Links tab.
With your BrandYourself account, you can set up a BrandYourself profile (it’s free!).
This is a positive webpage about you that you control. It ranks, on average, #5 in search results
for your name AND you can see who views your profile after they’ve looked you up online.

3. There’s a couple things
you can do to get the
MOST out of your
BrandYourself profile

4. ADD A WELCOME TAGLINE1
Introduce yourself in few sentences.
IMPORTANT: Use your full name to help it rank higher in search results for your name

5. ADD YOUR BIO2
Introduce yourself in
the 3rd person, say
what you do, include
accomplishments/
experience, etc. - the
more info, THE BETTER

6. SET YOUR LOCATION3
For example, if someone Googles your name while in New York, setting your location as New York will help it
rank higher for your name AND if people look up YOUR NAME + New York, it will show up higher

7. INCLUDE YOUR PROFESSION4
People typically use an identifying term in addition to the name when looking someone up (like if you’re a real
estate agent, people will probably search for “YOUR NAME real estate”

8. INCLUDE YOUR INDUSTRY5
(This is the same concept as setting your profession )

9. INCLUDE YOUR EXPERIENCE6
(add as much relevant info as possible)

10. INCLUDE YOUR EDUCATION7

11. SHOW OFF YOUR INTERESTS8
This follows the same concept we’ve been using throughout this tutorial, the more info you
include about you the better chance you have of the profile ranking

12. ADD A PROFILE PHOTO9
The image will be automatically tagged with your name, which will help image results for
your name in addition to your other search results. TIP: Use a professional photo

13. APPLY A CUSTOM DOMAIN10
If you’re a free BrandYourself user, your profile domain will be “yourname.brandyourself.com” but if you upgrade
your account to premium, you can apply a custom domain so that it is something like your “yourname.com”.

14. ACTIVATE YOUR SOCIAL STREAM11
Your social stream will stream updates from the social profiles you added to your BrandYourself account.
This is incredibly important because it keeps your profile updated (a huge factor in search rankings)

15. Once your profile is filled out
completely, it can be one of your
best assets in getting positive
content about you to rank in
search results for your name.

16. But, probably the coolest
feature of your
BrandYourself profile is…

17. YOU CAN SEE WHO’S GOOGLING YOU
If someone Googles your name and comes across your BrandYourself
profile, we’ll send you an alert with their information.
