negative on your first page. For example:
=
A full page of positive, relevant
results about YOU
A perfect score
(this is what you should aim for!)

In the Report Card tab, scroll down to the section that shows your search results.

9. MARK EACH RESULT2
To get your search score, mark each result by clicking the labels on the right.
Mark it either POSITIVE, NEGATIVE or NOT ME.

10. A PERSONAL
WEBSITE
NEWS ARTICLES
SOCIAL MEDIA
PROFILES
Positive- If it’s about you and you don’t mind people finding it -

11. A RIPOFF REPORT REPORT
OR BAD REVIEW
INCRIMINATING
PHOTOS
A NEGATIVE COMMENT
BY OR ABOUT YOU
Negative- If it’s about you and you don’t want it showing up -

12. NOT ME- If it’s about someone else & it CAN’T be confused for you (and isn’t negative)-
A CELEBRITYA WELL-KNOWN FIGURE
SOMEONE WHO IS CLEARLY
NOT YOUR AGE / PROFESSION

13. There are a few special cases…

14. A directory page- That lists your profile along with other people -
If you can find your profile
quickly when you click on the
link, then mark it POSITIVE
If you’re not easy to find,
mark it NOT ME
Our co-founder, Pete, is easy to
find in this LinkedIn directory so
he’ll mark it as positive.

15. someone Else’s Negative- That people could mistake for you -
Like our co-founder Pete, who was being mistaken for:
INSTEAD OF
A criminal with the same name The REAL Pete Kistler, NOT a criminal
