We know many advisers are struggling with the change and uncertainty that the industry is going through, and we want to start the year by investing in you and giving you more value. Having claimed your Adviser Ratings profile, we want to thank-you for supporting us, so to show our appreciation, we're letting you know you have been freely upgraded to “Premium Level” access on your profile effective immediately.
We want you to engage with your profile so you can use it freely for marketing, as a validation tool and as a lead generation service as well. With so much negative news and uncertainty around the industry, it's our small way of trying to give something back, so we've stripped back all obstacles for you so you can use our services full functionality and hopefully reap the rewards!
Being on the Premium level means that you now have free access to all the profile features and functionality that was previously only available to paid subscribers, including the ability to upload video content to your profile (via the "My Profile tab when logged into your profile), access to the “Stats and Reports” tab, the review widget and more. Inside your profile will look a little different – you can check out how many people have viewed your profile in your dashboard by logging into your profile now! Other benefits available to you through your new Premium Access, can help you start using your profile as an effective marketing tool, including how it can enhance your Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) on sites like Google.
The second part of this document explains how you can enhance the use of your profile using some of its Premium features like the review widget.
It also includes ways to enhance the effectiveness of your profile with tips on getting reviews and adding the Review Widget to your own website. It also covers how you can improve your search engine optimisation (SEO) on search engines like Google.
Your profile has free “buttons and badges” that you can download that can help you fulfil the valuable function of disseminating information about yourself to the individual who is actually viewing the material.
There are various sizes to choose from with selected messages or Calls To Action (CTA) like “Find me on Adviser Ratings” or “Adviser Ratings Gold Adviser”.
The only thing you have to do is place them where you want on your website and/or your email signature. They are dynamic (clickable) and “set and forget”. Once added to your website or email signature a consumer may click on them and they will be taken to your profile with no extra work on your part.
This provides a one touch connection to your Adviser Ratings profile on the internet. Each click increases the “strength of connection” between your site and your profile on Adviser Ratings. This ultimately feeds into search engine algorithms and will increase your visibility on search engines such as Google.
This is just one way to improve your search ranking on Google. It’s all about getting eyeballs on your profile page. You can do this simply by sharing a link to your profile with your friends on Facebook or any other social media channel.
But one of the best ways to improve your profile is to get your current clients to review you. We have a template set up to make it simple to invite clients to rate you and keep track of the responses. Once you get just one review on your profile, a star rating will accompany your search return in Google, because Google recognises Adviser Ratings as a bona-fide independent ratings and review site.
