Prominence: The Importance of Managing Your Digital Presence
As you know, search engines are constantly changing the algorithms and data sources they use to compile the information they’re serving to their users.
While there are a lot of unknowns, one thing Google has revealed about its compilation process are its local ranking factors, which are
- Distance
- Relevance
- Prominence
This is where your digital presence plays a part. Prominence is based on the information that Google has about your law firm from across the web, including business listings and reviews data.
Local Search: It’s More than Just the Big Sites
Yes, in terms of the classic view of search, it’s most definitely important to show up on big sites like Google, Bing, Yahoo, Apple, and others. But search has changed and that’s no longer enough. Your law firm also needs to be optimized for local search, which means you need to not only be listed on big sites, but you need to be listed everywhere — including smaller sites like Citysearch, WhitePages, and so many more.
This is because all high-quality sites want to make sure the business listing information they have is accurate, so they cross-check for consistency against other high-quality sites. Google will compare its data against smaller sites and vice versa. The more consistently the data they have compares to others, the more confident the site will believe it’s correct and accurate, and the more likely it is to show the data to its users.
If you weren’t thrilled with the results of your listings scan, now is the time to put Essential Listings to work for you!
