The Web Identity Quotient (WIQ)™,
developed by Web-Tech Online Magazines helps determine at a
glance how well your business is positioned on the internet.
If you have an existing site, let us improve your Web
Identity! |
|
|
|
The lower the score, the better the quotient |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Checking your WIQ™ consists of checking 3 main categories
and totaling results:: |
|
|
|
|
|
1. How well do you show up with a
simple search of just your business name? (If your name is
common, a low score is hard to achieve) |
|
2. How well do you show up with a
simple search of your business name, city, state. You
should show up well here. |
|
|
3. How well do you show up with a
generic search of your main business category, city,
state. In this category, you are |
|
competing against every other local business selling the
same product or service. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many businesses will be trying to achieve a low WIQ™
for several or many business categories - for several or
many cities. |
|
|
Success is highly dependent on how relevant your page(s) are
perceived for the desired result. For example, a business
showing |
|
|
up well for a product search without any city or state
entered will obviously do well in that category. |
