I don’t know who you are.I don’t know your company.I don’t know your company’s product.I don’t know what your company stands for.I don’t know your company’s customers.I don’t know your company’s record.I don’t know your company’s reputation.
Now – what was it you wanted to sell me?Moral: Sales start before your salesman calls…

Google Quotient
• Findability: Can your brand name, product or service be found easily?
• Linkability: Are you linking out and being linked by others?
• Relevance: Are the search results relevant to your potential customers?
• Differentiation: Are the generic searches for your product or service rated higher than your competitor’s?
![Page 7: 02.Branding and identity](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052504/554b4acab4c905ff268b5365/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Search engine results are key
• 68% click a search result in the 1st page of results • 92% will go up to (at most) 3rd page before
changing query (half will switch after 1st page)• 39% believe that the companies whose websites
are in top search results are the leaders in their field.
Key lesson: If you're not ranking well for your desired search terms, brand names and other important key words and phrases, you're missing out on significant, highly qualified traffic.

Google search tips1. Capitalization and quotation marks: Google searches
are NOT case sensitive. Searches for najib razak, Najib Razak, and naJIb rAZak will all return the same results.
Use “quotes” to include all words. Eg: “a b” “c”
2. Limit to .my sites
Example 1: killinghall site:com.my
Example 2: “najib razak” site: gov.my
3. Either OR. If you want to include either this or that in result list, use the OR operator (must be upper-case):
Example: "siti nurhaliza" OR "datuk khalid” site:my
(Leave out the OR, Google returns pages that include both terms)
