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 They'll also promote you to people in your industry, helping you build your personal brand online and overshadow any outdated, irrelevant or unwanted Google results.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?

Not a thing, very unprofessional................... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrandYourself?

Lack of professionalism and integrity as to their core capabilities, which clearly are not true. They are merely a company that post social media. The concept of marketing and branding to target a specific industry are not in their core capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BrandYourself:

This company is merely a company that post to social media. After going through this long detailed process and them telling me that they would help to expand and target my geographic market to increase my medical practice with the later shift in moving toward brand myself in the northeast was completely untrue. When approached them about the poor services and lack of followers or marketing prowess, they told me to give my website they built out to my already existing patients. After blocking the auto charge from my credit for misrepresentation of their company and services not rendered, they harassed me to say they would let me out of the contract if I paid an few months of service. They openly admitted their only capability is to post content on the internet and not draw in followers or corner a market for branding purposes. If we can not make arrangements terms to let me out, I do plan to force the issue to avoid others from falling for their sales team feeding mis truths. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was looking to brand myself in the medical community to draw a specific subgroups to my practice.

What do you like best about BrandYourself?

it allows you to scan results. Premium plan will allow you to boost some social links. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrandYourself?

Links on your profile arent actually boosted as Brand Yourself tags the links with a no-follow. No follow programming keeps Google from following or boosting the links. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BrandYourself:

Do not pay for the premium service.

It will not actually boost any of your results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BrandYourself?

With recruiters, hiring managers, colleagues and competitors want to gather information quickly about you, they turn to google. BrandYourself offers three levels of service. I lbegan with the free account and they showed me how to boost positive results, bury negative ones and remove ones that weren't me. This is great for those who have a common name. Since I am also very active in Social Media, I can tie my BrandYourself Profile to LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and 100s of other sites, giving me control of what people see. Their tutorials walk you step by step through each process and there is a tab for Live Help to answer any questions you have. I upgraded to the premium account (about $34 for three months) and it's more than worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrandYourself?

Common names are a lot more work than individual ones. I'd suggest implementing a middle initial throughout all your sites in order for you to be properly found.

Google results can take up to 2 weeks to properly reflect your changes and "boosts." Beyond that, I am thrilled with this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BrandYourself:

Make sure your LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook accounts properly reflect who you are. If you keep Facebook for family and friends, leave it out of the BrandYourself or create a separate email address.

I have a friend who had a mugshot attached to his name that was not him and BrandYourself is the first to allow her to separate herself from it. Also, read Pete's story. The product was created because a similar situation happened to him, only much worse. I wholeheartedly endorse this product and the partners behind it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Proper identification and branding of my personal and professional value.

My recent press releases can be posted and show up on the first page of google quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
