Want to increase your chances of being at the top of the Google Search Stack for your name? Try this.

Anyone who can create an account on Google and verify their real name through a screening routine can now have a personal profile page on Google.  Google’s been offering this for about a year and just started to get the word out.

The page editor allows you to upload images, link to multiple websites, and create a rich text bio. There’s even a way for people to click on a link to contact you directly.

profile-googleBONUS: Once you’ve been verified your profile it may begin to show up at the bottom of page one, complete with image, when someone Google’s you.

Hands down, Google profile is the fastest way to hit page one for your name.

Thank you to John Jantsch for illuminating me to this yesterday.

Great tip, Jerry. It took just a few minutes to create my profile. It’s incomplete but it’s started.
