What does Vizibility Inc do?

Vizibility offers the world’s first SearchMe™ button for Google, delivering the search results you want others to see first. Through a simple wizard, the Vizibility service makes it a snap for career professionals to quickly create and share the optimal Google search for themselves based on their name, employment history, and relevant keywords. This PreSearch™ can be added easily to online profiles such as LinkedIn, personal websites, resumes, email signatures, business cards and anywhere else they need to be visible.

Optionally, users can choose to be notified through Facebook, Twitter, email and text message when they are searched and when their search results have changed. Facebook and Twitter notifications are free to all users. Email and text message notifications require a small subscription fee.

How are they different?

As an innovative approach to people search, there are no direct competitors to Vizibility in the market as yet. We do track two categories of potential competition, which include 1. Search Engines, and; 2. Personal Branding services offering search engine optimization for people.

Search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo offer advanced search features which can be used to create similar search strings delivered highly customized results. Vizibility masks the complexity of using advanced search making it accessible to a wider audience.

Companies offering SEO for individuals, such as ReputationDefender, should embrace and integrate Vizibility into their offerings. SEO is about trying to influence one’s search results whereas with a Vizibility PreSearch a customer can own their search results.

Vizibility’s two primary advantages over search engines and SEO firms are ease of use and cost. Vizibility makes it easy for a customer to build a complex search query for themselves that brings up just the results they want. With the basic service being free, Vizibility is a must-have alternative to SEO for the vast majority of career professionals who cannot afford it.

Why could Vizibility Inc be BIG?

Today 20 million people are trying to manage their brands online and do not have a cost effective solution to do that. Vizibility provides a simple, affordable, repeatable way to control what people see about you in major search engines.

By notifying users through Facebook and Twitter when they are searched and when their search results have changed, the system is naturally viral and should expand the reach exponentially over time.

How they plan to make money:

Creating a SearchMe button is free. This includes using the PreSearch Wizard, the SearchMe button for Google, and updating a PreSearch anytime. Monthly and annual subscriptions are available for customers who want to receive alerts when their search results change and when they have been “Googled.” The monthly subscription is $2.95 and the annual subscription is $29.95.
