If a Potential Client Googled You Right Now, Would They Trust You?
Clients Google you before they email you. In a skeptical world, your LinkedIn and online presence must prove you’re real and reliable. Here’s how to make search results do the trust‑building—before the first call.
If a Potential Client Googled You Right Now…
What would they find?
- Your work.
- Your results.
- Your ideas.
Or… nothing?
Why Your Online Presence Matters for Business Owners
When someone searches your name, they’re making two quick decisions:
- Can they trust you?
- Do they want to work with you?
If there’s no visible proof of you or your expertise,
there’s a high probability they’ll move on to someone else.
In the age of digital credibility, LinkedIn branding, and online reputation management,
first impressions often happen on a search results page — not in person.
The Importance of Trust in Today’s Market
Trust is no longer a “nice to have” — it’s a barrier you must clear before a conversation even starts.
Think about it:
In a world full of scammers, fake reviews, and AI-generated content, people are more skeptical than ever.
A clear, easy-to-find online presence — whether it’s your website, LinkedIn profile, or portfolio — removes that skepticism.
It works as a silent sales agent by providing:
- Proof of expertise through published work, articles, and thought leadership posts.
- Evidence of results through case studies, testimonials, and measurable data.
- Clarity of ideas through blogs, videos, and consistent social media content.
How to Build Trust Online (and Make It Easy)
When your presence is clear and credible,
you skip one of the hardest hurdles —
earning trust from scratch.
Most people want to believe you’re the real deal.
The fastest way to build trust online is to make it easy for them to see who you are and what you stand for.
Ask yourself:
What will they see today?
Trust, or doubt?
