Tips to increase your Profile Visibility • Content is king. You can't show up in Google's free search display results if Google doesn't have any material to evaluate (technically called "crawl"), so you need to fill your profile page with stuff about yourself. Good content is most productive when you write for yourself, not Google, Bing, Yahoo or any other search engine. • Be unique. Talk about how many years you've played an instrument, your music education, and the instruments you teach. Describe your teaching philosophy and style. • Don't “steal” from other lesson teacher’s content. Search engines frown upon duplicate content. We do too. Refer to the "be unique" rule. • Be geo-‐specific. Include information that is relevant to your geography: the plaza name where you teach, neighborhood name of the plaza, city name, and the local school districts. Use geography in a natural scenario like, "As a youngster, I participated in the John F. Kennedy High School Band back in La Palma, California, right down the street from the famous Yamaha Corporation headquarters…". • Running out of things to talk about? Don't forget to pat yourself on the back. If a student or parent gave you a nice compliment about your teaching, use it as a testimonial or quote on your profile page. Page 7
