The first step to ensuring that you have a respectable web prescience is simply searching for your name. Search for your complete name to bring up the best results. If you are a business owner it is best to do a search of your business as well. You may have to be specific about your business' location to get the best search results. The best possible outcome is finding little to nothing related to you in these initial searches. It is always best to start with a clean slate. Sometimes your name will return hits related to accounts that you set up across the web. Your search may also turn up results for people with similar names. It is important to go through each and every link on at least the first page to see what they contain.
In the worst possible scenario you might come across something less then flattering when you search. Maybe it is something that you posted a few years ago. It might be a picture that you wish you did not upload. If you find something take note of it and save the link for later. While it is difficult to remove material that reflects you in a negative light it is possible.
Search engine optimisation( SEO) (Promotion of your website) so your website can be found in Major Search Engines
Now that you know what is out there you can work on improving your web prescience. The easiest way to do this is by creating a website. Take the time, money, and effort to reserve a domain name for yourself now before people come searching for you even if you are not able to build a complete website right away. Many domain registration companies will set up a placeholder page or provide you with a simple website when you register. You should also set up a profile on several of the popular social media platforms if you have not already.
Continue to search for yourself throughout the optimization process. Ideally, you will want nothing negative on the first page of a relevant search. If you still find discouraging content even after your may need to take steps to personally remove that content. The easiest way to go about it is to edit the posts if you were the ones who posted them, or kindly ask the poster or a moderator on the website to clear the post. Just be sure to be pleasant and respectful about your request.
