Have you noticed people showing up on Google’s search engine results page under their own name? Do you know where you rank for your own name? Of course you do! The team at BrandYourself knew you would say that so they put together this great infographic on the “Breakdown of a Person’s Google Results. How People Look in Google – And How to Look Better”.
Check it out! After all, Google is your first impression.
The most interesting “Google Yourself” statistics:
- 1 Billion names are searched in Google every day

- Use a WordPress blog for better rankings
- Update your LinkedIn profile and verify it’s 100% accurate
