All businesses should take advantage of the tools available to
them online. Wikipedia can be an enormous asset, encouraging knowledge of your
brand. However, creating a page can be difficult and tedious. Centel Media™ can
create content on Wikipedia that will improve public awareness of your
business.
Wikipedia gains half its traffic from search engines, and appears
on the first page of results in 95% of all Google searches. It’s a great
opportunity to increase traffic to your site, but remember, not all businesses
end up on Wikipedia’s pages. Take the time to assess the state of your business
and the market you're after, because it makes all the difference to the success
of your Wikipedia page.
First, it’s important to understand why people visit Wikipedia.
Nearly all Wikipedia users go to the site with a desired topic already in mind.
If they’re looking up your business, then they’re already familiar with your
brand name and are simply looking to find more information about who you are
and what you do. Wikipedia is a good way to raise awareness of your business,
but it shouldn’t be used by companies with low visibility. Now, that doesn’t
mean you have to be a celebrity or big-time corporation to use Wikipedia, it
just means that your market needs to be accessible, something within the public
eye, or else it won’t be noticed.
It may seem that Wikipedia favors large businesses, but in reality
it just favors better-known companies. If your online presence is low, your
best course of action is to build up a reputation over the Internet before
committing to a Wikipedia page. Creating a ‘better known’ company or brand can
be taxing, but with the help of a reputation
management company, it’s possible to gain a wider audience. After constructing a
stronger foundation online, a Wikipedia page can then be utilized to its full
potential.
Centel Media™,
the leading online reputation management company, works with individuals and businesses alike to create content for
Wikipedia, along with other social media outlets. Centel Media™ writers create
Wiki pages with legitimate sources and provide links in order to give your
potential customers and clients more information about your company. You may be
hesitant about creating a page in Wikipedia, and feel your other social media
sites are enough, but keep in mind that if you wait, your competitors may beat
you to it. With today’s tough economy, it would be wise to take any opportunity
to get ahead. Centel Media™ team of trained professionals will help you create
an official Wikipedia submission that can draw more attention to your brand.
Wikipedia is a great resource for business development. However, it may be daunting to start a Wiki page on your own. Maximize your online potential by using Centel Media’s Wikipedia Page Submission services.
