choice. Basically the goal is to get a URL that is
immediately identified as yours.

the various fields and they provide helpful
suggestions along the way.

videos/presentations/publications that qualify
your expertise.

and Interact

visibility in the search results by expanding
your network.

isn't as beneficial to your search ranking as
actively engaging with it. Make yourself
prominent. Building a great profile and then
abandoning it is just plain mistake. Don't do
that!

email signature, your Facebook, Twitter

network. Endorsements help add to the
overall value of your professional profile. You
can simply reach out to past and present
colleagues for reviews it will make them happy
that you sought out their input.

can see your face.

one of 450 Priya without a picture isn’t going
to help anyone find you.

to interact with your connections and most
importantly, drive traffic to your latest
blogpost, web content, project, etc. You can
