Building LGBT Business Online Trust Authority
OutBüro should be a part of your business online trust authority strategy. Your profile provides the opportunity to tout your skills in a description. Additionally as described below it provides a place to link your profile from 30 high-ranking domain authority websites and an open text area to associate an unlimited number of other social media and industry-specific profiles. As OutBüro continues to grow in size and business-related content your profile and business listing on OutBüro will continue to grow in value to your overall online marketing presence, trust, and website ranking.
When building online trust Google, Bing, and Yahoo want to see more than a profile listing. To supercharge your online trust rating you must choose the platforms that are meaningful for you and your brand. Then take the time to really engage with other users of the sites. This means connecting with others via “friending”, following, getting followers, and commenting in a meaningful manner on what others post. This activity creates content-rich link juice that drips to your site. I recommend scheduling time on your work calendar at least weekly to visit each site, post, like, connect, and comment.
Completing an OutBüro profile requires only a Free level site membership. However, a Premium Member level will provide even more features and capabilities.
When backlinking from OutBüro or any other site, be sure to mix it up. Don’t only point to your main site’s URL home page. Also, link to your inner pages. Those inner pages might be your about us page, a contact us page, an FAQ page, a services page, and your cornerstone key content. Cornerstone pages are those pages and blog postings that really get to the heart of what your business is about, the ones you are most proud of, and the ones you internally link to most often from other pages or postings.
To further juice it up, consider stacking your linking. From your LinkedIn profile provide links to your Behance and OutBüro profiles in addition to your primary website. From YouTube link to your LinkedIn and OutBüro profiles and so forth. This stacking supercharges your interconnected whole internet presence taking increasing your authority. As the saying goes, a rising tide raises all boats.
