First, a reminder… Don’t forget to organize all your “G” files today (as described in the Alphabet Strategy post a few days ago).   Now on to our next letter…

 

Dec 7.  “G” is for Google Alerts…

Google Alerts is an amazing Free Tool that uses the power of the Google search engine to watch 24/7 for information that is of value and importance to you.

 

How much would it cost to have an employee search the Internet continuously for new information related to your business? Google Alerts will do it for free and never whines or asks for a personal day off… 

 

 

 

Here are some uses where you can setup Google Alerts:

  • your competitors company names

  • your own company to see if anything is being written about you

  • your own name

  • keyword searches on things related to your business (ie: “solar energy tips” or “municipal waste”, etc)

  • keyword searches on things you are researching (ie: “numerology” or “sales leadership”, etc.)

Here is a link to a simple two-page step-by-step instructions I put together on how to setup Google Alerts so you can put the power of the Google Spiders to work for your business…

Google Alerts Action Instructions…

Everyone go there now and setup a Google Alert on the term “Kevin Hogan” and also on your own name, and one keyword topic of interest to you. Do it now and you’ll see how this amazing tool can help you…

Next, we will move to “H” and we will be discussing the how you can use “Habits” are vital to your business and personal success…

    I’ve been running a couple of Google alerts, but I know I need to get my SEO sorted out to enjoy them more.
