BrandYourself Overview

What is BrandYourself?

BrandYourself is the first Do-It-Yourself online reputation management and personal branding tool. The tool takes you step-by-step through the process of improving your online presence by showing you which web properties/social media profiles you should be on and how to optimize them so that they rank well when people Google your name. BrandYourself also offers custom services for those who need more hands-on help. As part of the service you will receive a dedicated specialist who will execute a custom strategy for improving your online reputation. BrandYourself's three offerings are: 1. DO-IT-YOURSELF PRODUCT (free for limited use, $99/year for unlimited use) The DIY product simplifies the complicated online reputation management process so you can do it yourself. Just submit any webpages you want people to find when they Google you (your LinkedIn, Twitter, personal website, etc.). The software will analyze those links and tell you everything you can do to make them more search engine friendly – and more likely to rank high in Google searches. The DIY product can also tell you who's Googling you. Just create a BrandYourself profile, then when people Google you and click on your profile, you'll get an alert. It can tell you where the visitor is located, what company they work for, and even what they searched for to find you. The DIY product also gives you a weekly progress report that notifies you of any changes to your Google results. 2. HEADSTART SERVICE (two payments of $399, then $20/month) You can have BrandYourself's personal branding specialists build your entire online presence for you, then leave you with a customized action plan to continue improving your results. They'll create state-of-the-art websites and profiles for you, ensuring you look great online and exist in all the right places. 3. CONCIERGE SERVICE (starting at $399/month) This is BrandYourself's white glove service. They'll do all the work for you to look great online. You'll be assigned a dedicated personal branding team who will not only build your entire online presence for you (including custom websites and profiles), but they'll continually update your content over time, strengthening you authority in Google. They'll also promote you to people in your industry, helping you build your personal brand online and overshadow any outdated, irrelevant or unwanted Google results.

What do you like best about BrandYourself?

They have lots of tools and guides that help you improve your branding. Some of this is with a paid subscription. I recommend pay monthly, and down grade after you get things setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrandYourself?

Two essential things are missing from the branded profile page. First, the page includes a personal profile image (picture), but it's a broken image. I have tried for months to get them to fix this. How can you have a personal profile page without a working profile image?! Second, any hyperlink URLs included in your profile are displayed as text. They are not clickable hyperlinks. The search engines will ignore these. Not suitable for SEO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BrandYourself solving and how is that benefiting you?

They have failed to resolve the broken profile image issue. This issue was reported over six months. Seems like a relatively easy thing for them to fix. Not very helpful for SEO optimization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BrandYourself?

Really quickly finds exposed personal info (while you're watching!) and removes it automatically, saving me hours of work and stress. The tool also consistently scans search sites that may recapture my details again, making sure I'm constantly being removed from these sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrandYourself?

I hate that there are so many search sites online that have my personal data and make it available to other people and businesses - it feels so invasive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BrandYourself solving and how is that benefiting you?

Running the US branch of an agency, I was getting a lot of spam, robo and sales calls - this feature not only greatly reduced these calls but from a security perspective, I felt much safer knowing this tool was keeping my personal info off sites I didn't want it showing up on.

What do you dislike about BrandYourself?

Wish it was less expensive but still better deal and better results than anything else I found Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BrandYourself solving and how is that benefiting you?

BrandYourself is helping me solve my and my employees issues with personal information being readily available on the internet. Keeping my employees information is top of mind for me as it in turn keeps our business information safe and less susceptible to any hacks/illegal activity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BrandYourself?

Nothing. The sales guy sold me on absolute crap. Within the first week, my bad article that was supposed to be pushed down has moved higher than it ever was on the first page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrandYourself?

My bad article was 2nd from the bottom on the first page and once they started it is now #4 on google. This is the worst service for hiding your bad press... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Use a different company!!!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about BrandYourself?

While the Internet has been a positive force in the world, it has its downsides. Somebody can say something about you, whether it's true or not. It can be very harmful. If you find yourself in a bad situation like this--fixing it is difficult. Google won't do anything about it. I've learned the process is all about creating a more positive presence that paints a more accurate picture. This can be expensive and time consuming. BrandYourself has expensive services like many of the other companies I spoke to, but they also have a DIY product. It helps you understand how Google works and what you can do about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrandYourself?

Even though they offer an inexpensive DIY product, it requires a big time commitment. They have a service but it's much more expensive. I wish they had something in between Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BrandYourself:

It's a time investment. It's worth it to speak to a rep advisor but know if you don't have the money to pay, you should be using the DIY Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BrandYourself solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm client facing in my role, which means I get looked up before I meet people. Something unfortunate happened and my name was sullied by someone from my past. It was getting in the way of my job Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BrandYourself?

I saw the company on Shark Tank and used them to clean up my facebook page. It found lots of posts from years ago, some I forgot I had posted. It was fun going through them all! I ended up deleting a lot of posts that I didn't want on my page anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrandYourself?

I didn't personally think some of the posts it flagged "risky" were bad but I can see why they were flagged and it was good to see them all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BrandYourself solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm in the finance industry so it's important I don't have anything online that could jeopardize my career. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BrandYourself?

I've been a huge fan since seeing them on Shark Tank a year or so ago. The product comes highly recommended from a couple of colleagues who swear that it's the reason they were able to switch industries and get new jobs. I haven't been using it nearly as long as they have, but so far I'm impressed with how thorough the software is. It's taking me step by step into fixing up my social media for Google and I LOVE the facebook scanner. My son gets a kick out of what kind of old stuff it digs up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrandYourself?

It's not really the fault of the company, but the reality I have to accept is that it takes time to fix Google results. You basically have two choices: either take the time to do it yourself using the product or sign up for their services to do it for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BrandYourself:

Be ready to invest the time to manage the process yourself using their product, otherwise you'll probably want to consider having them do it for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BrandYourself solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm considering starting my own business and I'm learning how to take control of my online reputation. A nice side benefit is that I'm learning a lot about this Google-fixing process along the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BrandYourself?

They really help you get a "second chance" on your search results. If you have something negative online under your name, or if nothing pops up that's actually relevant to you, this is your best bet for taking control and changing that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrandYourself?

It is not a quick fix for your search results, but their staff has been clear and honest with me about the time it takes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BrandYourself solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm trying to get out there as an entrepreneur, so it's nice to have profiles and websites that I can show to people upfront! I also want to plan for the future when I start building my network because people might start Googling my name more often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BrandYourself?

The "social scan" feature. It showed me facebook comments from several years ago that I forgot I posted and helped me to delete them. I don't use Twitter but I imagine it would also be helpful for people who do.

The customer service rep I chatted with on the website was helpful. When I signed up my search score was a C. He gave me links to guides to show me how to improve my search score myself. I've been using them to work with them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrandYourself?

I signed up when I saw them on Shark Tank a few weeks ago and haven't been using it long. Will update when I have more info! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BrandYourself solving and how is that benefiting you?

When I saw them on Shark Tank I was just curious about the tool and they said it was free. I've been using their guides to improve my search score. I also think the social scan is beneficial for people who are interested in what comments they posted in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BrandYourself?

Results. I wished them to get my message out and they did just that. I like the personal touch. There is a project manager assigned to your project. Their project managers have been getting better each year! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrandYourself?

It is not cheap. But, they get results, Their competitor "Reputation.com" got me zero results for $5000. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BrandYourself:

Give them a try and see if you like their results. I recommend them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BrandYourself solving and how is that benefiting you?

They raised the profile I wished to have raised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
