Let’s change that perception.

Let’s take a look at your current brand.

1When a user types in your name, product or
brand—what do they see?
Unrelated SERPs
or
“Did you mean…” “showing results for…”
![Page 11: Online Reputation Management: Branding for SERP Domination](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816374550346895dd45233/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
You’re Tier 3 and you aren’t considered a brand, yet.
We’ll come back to you in a bit.

You’re Tier 2 and you’re becoming a brand, but aren’t quite
there, yet.*
Hang tight with Tier 3 for a minute.

*Caveats
• You might have something technically wrong that’s preventing site links.
• You might not have enough content or links to your subfolders/pages to have those appear as site links.

Especially Google.

“Google now wants to transform words that appear on a page into entities that mean something and have related attributes.”

Google wants to, “build a huge knowledge graph of
interconnected entities and their attributes.”

Hmm, what does that sound like?

What this entity search looks like in action:
Except, they’re no longer appearing! Even Google’s example from the article for “Monet”

Why does this matter?
If someone is looking for an “oven” you want Google to not just display
your brand because you have content and links about an oven. You want
Google to understand WHO you are, how much you sell them for, how
many people like them, and where they can buy them.

Google is a bot.
It can only process what you tell it.

Not sure of what works?
Check your “competition.”
What’s a natural result that your competitor is doing well with?

SERP domination.

• Think long-term gain vs short-term (e.g. Autcomplete)
• Think local
• Think big brand campaigns
