Google your name

The modern world means your name is going to get searched when people meet you, when employers review your CV and when you apply for speaking opportunities.

Over the past couple of years we've started doubling down on the importance of this in the MoTaverse. We recognise that people show up and contribute in different ways in our community and that they don't always want to or have capacity to maintain a blog.

The MoTaverse is the perfect middle ground, where you can have an online bio page, write a Moment, share links, join an event and all these things contribute to your online. They create instant visibility of the credibility you bring to the tech space. And increasingly your profile appears in search and AI results.

This is not by accident. Where and how you appear depends on your contributions, but the great things is we can do this together.

For a while, LinkedIn has always featured top of search results, but even that has started to change. For the first time, I searched on a profile for a speaker at our upcoming MoTaCon conference and they were placed top of the results. You can imagine, I jumped for rosie joy! It's these, seemingly, little things, that matter.

A big part of our value add is to help people get found and shine through. Our platform is designed for this, as you participate, we trust you'll notice the difference. And the beauty is that it doesn't have to be writing. As you show up and contribute, your name will naturally start appearing in places. Others will start to mention you. It's community, as it's meant to be.
