Where does your MoT profile rank on search engines?

@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 I’m 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 ‘who is’ before my name made MoT appear in the top 5 results.

Let’s hear about your visibility and where you are ranked and what if anything can we do to improve the situation?

If I type “Kristof Van Kriekingen” in google: It actually doesn’t show up for me. It doesn’t even show on the 2nd page of google :confused:

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 :stuck_out_tongue:

I literally have to type “Profile” behind my name for it to come up “kristof van kriekingen profile”
It comes up for me as a 3rd record. Behind 2 linkedins.

Adding “who is” gets the MoT Profile page to the first page on the 5th slot.

My MOT profile doesn’t show up until I hit page 4 using Google and using quotes around my name. There are quite a few Judy Mosley’s out there in the world.

My profile doesn’t show up at all :sweat_smile:
But more worryingly, my blog despite doing seo (using cursor) my blog doesn’t show up either.

That’s the benefit of having a unique name :smiley:
In my case there are already many people with same name and more popular than me :grin:
So I’m facing tough competition but still somehow I managed to find place at 5th/6th position on first page of google search result.

It might actually help dropping a link to your profiles in the thread to help Google crawl it. Maybe :thinking:

This is an interesting topic that can be painful in some cases like mine :blush:. My full name is pretty common and so, it doesn’t appears in Google. If i searched my full name together with MoT and only my LinkedIn profile appeared. I don’t know why.
So, let me extend this topic by asking: How can i improved my MoT profile?

Some of my ministry of testing posts appear third and fourth when I google my name. My LinkedIn always ranks 1

I use Kagi, and when I type in my own name the MoT profile is at the bottom of the first page!

There are a lot of famous and more search engine optimized Stuart Thomas’ 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 :see_no_evil_monkey: 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.
