A “CEO Coach” recently reached out to me on LinkedIn.
We had mutual connections and his pitch was quite enticing, so I googled him.
And – his digital footprint was lacking, so I quickly moved on.
This reminded me of our own Digital Audits for our Agent Partners and how extremely important they are in this day and age.
I used to do Digital Marketing presentations, during which I would discuss the importance of enhancing one’s digital footprint.
I would point out that studies show that 93% of all potential clients will google you before engaging your services.
Those studies, however, are several years old and I suspect that percentage is approaching 100% now.
I for one google every single person or firm I plan to work with.
SUPERSTAR AGENT HAS PRISTINE GOOGLE PRESENCE
I’ve blogged several times about an agent we work with who closes over 150 transactions per year.
A major reason why is her “Google presence,” as it is practically perfect.
When people google just her name, she dominates “page one” of the search results – with five-star reviews, Yelp, Zillow, Reach150, Facebook, website, brokerage, and LinkedIn info all showing as the top-listed results.
To obtain similar results, agents need to engage in both a Digital Audit and Digital Clean Up. Neither is difficult, but there is an art to the process.
JVM offers assistance with both audits and clean-ups, as I have mentioned many times.
I am bringing it up again, however, as we have started almost 700 of them now, and we’ve completed almost 500 – with tremendously positive results.
We are happy to assist our Agent Partners with these audits and clean-ups b/c more business for our referring agents means more business for us.
Our assistance is 100% compliant b/c it involves labor only, and more importantly, our know-how and expertise.
My final point is this – if you don’t have an optimized digital footprint, you are probably losing business and you don’t even know it (just like the CEO coach I referenced above – who will never know why I didn’t follow up).
