The New Currency of Visibility is to be Google-able.
If someone types your name on Google right now, what will they see?
Better question will they see anything at all?
Or will Google behave like it has never heard of you, like you’re a missing person?
In today’s digital world, being Google-able is not luxury; it is survival. It is the difference between doors opening and doors remaining locked. Recruiters check. Clients check. Brands check. Even potential collaborators check.
The market has changed. Nobody believes “trust me” anymore. They believe “Google me.”
Let me tell you a quick story.
THE DAY I REALISED VISIBILITY IS POWER
A friend once introduced me to someone who needed a content designer. Before I could even send my CV, the person said:
“Oh yes, I already checked you on Google.”
That statement shook me.
I didn’t give them a portfolio.
I didn’t talk too much.
I didn’t even defend my skills.
Google did the talking for me.
And guess what?
They said yes instantly — because they already saw my work, my articles, my website, my designs, my reviews.
This is why in 2026 and beyond, your online presence is your real CV, your real interview, your real first impression.
Now let’s break it down.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE GOOGLE-ABLE?
It means when someone searches your name or business:
✔️ Your content shows up
✔️ Your work speaks for you
✔️ You look credible
✔️ Your brand appears consistent
✔️ People instantly understand what you do
Google-ability = Discoverability + Credibility + Visibility
And the beautiful thing?
You can build it yourself.
THE 7 WAYS TO BE GOOGLE-ABLE IN 2026 AND BEYOND
1. Own Your Name Online (Start With a Website)
If you don’t control your name online, the internet will control it for you.
You need:
A simple website
A branded domain (example: ardarrhinspiring.com)
A portfolio page
An “About Me” page with your story
A few photos
Links to all your major platforms
Your website is your digital home.
Google prioritises it.
And it builds authority over time.
Even a one-page website is enough to start.
2. Create Content That Mentions Your Name Consistently
Google pushes names that appear frequently.
If you write posts, articles, or share updates include your name in a natural way.
For example:
“I’m Adanne Udejiofor Chukwudi, and this week I…”
“At Ardarrh Inspiring, we recently…”
“This is a lesson I learned as a creative digital specialist…”
You are training Google to associate your name with your work.
3. Write Long-Form Articles That Google Can Index
Blog posts are your SEO soldiers.
A 1000-word blog like this one can live on Google for years.
Each blog you write is like planting a seed.
Write about:
Your skills
Your journey
Your industry
Your lessons
Your portfolio
How-to guides
Case studies
Before-and-after stories
Google loves long-form.
It feeds on it.
The more you write, the more Google will serve your name on a silver platter.
4. Use LinkedIn as Your Google-Boosting Machine
Google indexes LinkedIn profiles very fast.
If someone searches your name, your LinkedIn is usually the first or second result.
Make sure your LinkedIn:
Has a professional headline
Has keywords in the bio
Has filled experiences
Has media samples
Has recommendations
Has frequent posts
Don’t sleep on LinkedIn, it is the easiest way to rise on Google without lifting too much weight.
5. Create a Unique Style or Signature Online
If people can recognise your content anywhere, that is free SEO.
Think of your:
Writing tone
Design style
Photos
Phrases
Hashtags
Colours
Catchphrases
Visual identity
Logo
For you, Adanne, your Ankara-inspired visuals, your Afro hair, your storytelling voice, your authenticity — this consistency is what makes Google show you and not another person with similar name.
Signature branding equals recognisable digital footprints.
6. Collaborate or Get Featured (Borrow Authority)
One feature = 10 posts.
When you collaborate or appear on:
Podcasts
Blogs
Interviews
Magazines
YouTube channels
Community platforms
Webinars
Google picks it up fast.
Even if the audience is small, the impact is big.
One article with your name on another person’s website increases your Google ranking significantly.
This is how people build authority without shouting.
7. Use Social Media Intentionally, Not Randomly
You don’t need to be everywhere; you just need to show up with clarity.
Pick 2–3 platforms where you want to be visible:
LinkedIn
TikTok
Instagram
YouTube
Pinterest
Be consistent.
Even one viral post can put you permanently on Google’s map.
But the key is this:
Talk about one thing repeatedly until Google associates your name with that topic.
Example:
If you consistently post:
Writing tips
Creative design
Branding
Storytelling
Job search advice
Google will label you as a “writer” or “digital creative specialist.”
THE BIG SECRET: BE INTERESTING
People think SEO is only about keywords.
But in reality, the most Google-able people are those who are interesting.
Google promotes posts that:
Get comments
Get shared
Spark emotions
Teach something
Make people stop scrolling
Have a strong hook
Tell a story
Humans respond first → Google responds after.
If people interact with your content, Google will show more of you.
Simple.
HOW TO KNOW YOU ARE BECOMING GOOGLE-ABLE
You will start noticing things like:
✔️ People say “I saw you online.”
✔️ Recruiters reach out without you applying.
✔️ Opportunities come to you.
✔️ Your name appears in search suggestions.
✔️ Your website traffic increases.
✔️ Your photos appear on image search.
✔️ People trust you faster.
At this point, you stop chasing visibility —
visibility chases you.
FINAL WORD: THE WORLD CAN ONLY GOOGLE WHAT YOU DECIDE TO SHOW
If you want to be Google-able, you must be intentional.
Show up.
Create.
Share your work.
Tell your story.
Build your digital house.
Leave footprints everywhere.
Talk about what you do — proudly.
Don’t hide your brilliance.
Google is the world’s memory.
If you don’t write your own story, the internet will write a blank page for you.
Start today.
Make your name so visible that even if someone types it with mistakes — Google still brings you out.
On the internet, visibility is not luck.
It is strategy.
And now you have the blueprint.
