Linking your business website or LinkedIn profile to Expert by Big Village can help with that.
By linking to your profile on Expert by Big Village, prospective clients know you’ve been vetted and recognized as an expert in your field by a known expert agency — Expert by Big Village. Our website, along with the following SEO optimization tactics, can help drive traffic and business to your profile.
With search engine algorithms built to identify sites linking to one another, Google and other browsers can verify backlinks and use this information to tag a site or profile as trustworthy. Google ranks vetted, topic-relevant sites and directs traffic to them. So, the more sites that backlink to your profile on Expert by Big Village, the easier it will be for prospects and clients to find your profile on Expert by Big Village and request to work with you!
Search engines incorporate a website’s “lifespan’ into its algorithms, positioning older, established sites as more relevant sources. Thus, “newcomer websites” have a harder time ranking in search engine results, especially when competing against 10-year-old websites. Luckily, Expert by Big Village has been live for almost 40 years, which means your expert profile will have history too.
With these strategies in mind, here’s how to link to Expert by Big Village.
Write a short sentence on your own website, or LinkedIn profile, that notes your membership with Expert by Big Village. For example:
I am also a vetted and approved emergency room services thought leader with the longstanding Expert by Big Village network.
Find your Expert by Big Village bio on our public site by pasting your expert ID into this search field and selecting “Find an Expert.”
Then click on your profile and copy your personal URL from the address bar.
Using this URL, return to that short sentence above and highlight relevant information — e.g., “vetted and approved emergency room services thought leader” — and hit ctrl+k.
Paste your Expert by Big Village profile URL into the hyperlink prompt — and voilà! By using backlinks and established history, your own site will rank higher against competitors.
As a bonus, search engines prioritize links within relevant text. Avoid using vague phrases like “click here” or an unrelated word and incorporate keywords into hyperlinks to optimize your profile’s search-ability.
