Share your Thoughts about: ‘Does my Internet presence help or hinder my business?’

I googled myself and found that my presence is there but lack luster at best. I need to bolster my presence and identify myself better as a solid force of expertise in my respected area of service.

After Googling myself, I discovered that there is another Realtor named Casey Cross in MO -- and he's placing much higher on Google than I am!  My lack of presence on the Internet is definitely a hindrance to my business, but I know that the longer I'm in this class, the more prepared I will be to increase my presence on the Net!

I think my presnce on the google search is positive and shows myself and my team as someone a person would want to work with. In the past we have gotten calls from people who became clients because they saw our team profile and decided to work with us.

I googled myself and was surprized how many Cynthia Websters there are in the world.  The main one that came up was a doctor, there is even another Cynthia Webster in real estate - I believe in California.  I don't have a good presence at all.  I only came up when I searched Cynthia Webster with Exit Realty of Valley.  Even on Facebook there is another Cynthia Webster.  Key, I have a lot of work to do and hopefully, with your help, I can market myself better.

After googling my self, It has a positive outcome about my reputation in real estate business. My name always come out on the first 5 of the results. However, Some of the links don't have my bio and picture. Once my bio is completed, it will be uploaded to all those links along with my picture. Thank you soo much Key for teching and coaching me how get the most benefit out of the internet, and use it effectively. 

Boy this was an eye opener...

When I did my name, my first hit was on second page. Didn't even know that there were so many people named Mark Geil. The one with the biggest hit was an insurance sales man out in Reno, a doctor in PA, and a photographer in CO (him I don't mind being mixed up with).

When I did my name and profession I came up 1, 3 and 4 on the first page. Doing better...

Name and Company: 9 of 10 hits on the first page were me. Although the one that linked to FaceBook, #5, I was third on the list of results found on FaceBook. Interesting...

Name and Brand: I had 4 of the 10 hits on the first page.

My internet pressents could be better, especialy for real estate. Will visit this again at the end of class to see if there are improvement...

When I googled just my name I found out there is a guy with the same name who is a convicted child molester.  However, when I do the other searches I either see my website or my company website on page 1 on icognito in google chrome browser.

When I googled my name I found there was information for Jamey Barber, but nothing for me. I was in the top 5 page results when I googled for my name & profession. My presence is there but lacking. I am creating my bio today and working on making my presence better.

AFTER GOOGLING MY NAME I FOUND MANY NORA'S BUT NOT "ME", BUT AFTER HAVING DONE WITH EXIT I FOUND MY NAME BUT NOT IN THE PLACE IS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR MY BUSINESS. I HOPE AFTER I FINISHED THE TRAINING MY PRESENCE WILL BE # ONE.

Very interesting.  When I googled myself, my linked in profile was higher than everything else.  I also realized that I did not have a profile on the Realtor website, although my name showed up.  I have some work to do!  Good assignment.

I found the most information about me when I used my brand, Tracey "TV" Vartanian.  Through my search I did notice that sights such as linkin need to be updated.  What I found most interesting was that my listing came up, but when I clicked on it, it was shown on our competitors web-site, so obviously they have created a landing page that pulls from the MLS.
