@hanisha celebrated her MoT profile appearing on the first page with a Google search of her name and it got me wondering not only where I listed, but where is everyone else?
On Google my MoT profile is second after LinkedIn.
On Bing Iâm nowhere unless I add MoT then it is number 1.
On DuckDuckGo results quickly switch to Andy Stokes with MoT nowhere in sight.
After a bit of testing I found that for other search engines adding âwho isâ before my name made MoT appear in the top 5 results.
Letâs hear about your visibility and where you are ranked and what if anything can we do to improve the situation?
If I type âKristof Van Kriekingenâ in google: It actually doesnât show up for me. It doesnât even show on the 2nd page of google
I do see other MoT Content from me, but not the profile. For me the first MoT hit, is the last post on the first page of google (8th), which is a TestSphere Roulette podcast
I literally have to type âProfileâ behind my name for it to come up âkristof van kriekingen profileâ
It comes up for me as a 3rd record. Behind 2 linkedins.
Adding âwho isâ gets the MoT Profile page to the first page on the 5th slot.
My MOT profile doesnât show up until I hit page 4 using Google and using quotes around my name. There are quite a few Judy Mosleyâs out there in the world.
Thatâs the benefit of having a unique name
In my case there are already many people with same name and more popular than me
So Iâm facing tough competition but still somehow I managed to find place at 5th/6th position on first page of google search result.
This is an interesting topic that can be painful in some cases like mine . My full name is pretty common and so, it doesnât appears in Google. If i searched my full name together with MoT and only my LinkedIn profile appeared. I donât know why.
So, let me extend this topic by asking: How can i improved my MoT profile?
There are a lot of famous and more search engine optimized Stuart Thomasâ out there, but was surprised to see my LinkedIn profile crack the top 5.
If I add Quality to the search then I own the whole the first page With my MoT profile coming in 5th in the text links, but 3 of my 404 talks are highlighted as video links after the 2nd text link.
