Jonas Sickler talks with Jason Barnard about where do branded searches on Google come from?

Large and small companies have different perceptions of their brand’s online presence, although both are focused on attracting more customers. The way they treat their online presence still matters a lot. Large companies tend to approach online branding this way: they are well-known in the offline world and have a huge customer base, so why should they worry about managing their online presence when they are already well established? Smaller companies often fail to see the return on investment of digital branding.
Online branding is vital to every business, big or small. Who is googling your brand name? It’s not only customers, but also prospects, investors, partners, future employees and so many more people who are super-important to your business. You’d be a fool to miss all those opportunities 😉 Controlling what Google displays in your Brand SERP is definitely crucial.
A groovy and insightful episode with Jason Barnard and this week’s guest, Jonas Sickler, who shares incredible insights into how important it is for companies to invest in their brand’s digital presence, why people search for someone or a company on Google and even how a company can handle a bad-news crisis. Incredibly fascinating!
As always, the show ends with passing the baton… Jonas Sickler awesomely turned over the virtual baton to next week’s pretty incredible guest, Daniel Alfon.
