What does a client see when they Google you?
Every finished public WorkOfficially profile is written to be found: a clean URL, Person structured data, and your verified badge and your reviews on one page. We submit it to Google in our sitemap. When someone searches your name, this is the page you want them to land on.
Someone is going to Google you this week.
A client deciding whether to hire you. A recruiter. An old colleague. Right now they find a mix of other people's sites, a directory listing from years ago and a LinkedIn page that looks like everyone else's.
On WorkOfficially you get a page that is yours: your verified work history, your reviews, what you do best, when you are available and a button to hire you. It is written to be found, so when someone searches your name, this is what you want them to see. Free, with every account.
- You control what people see first.
- Your proof travels with you: verified employment and real reviews on one page.
- A client who finds you here can hire you here, the same minute.
Know who is looking, and make the page entirely yours.
Your name on Google, monthly
Once a month, Pro members get a plain report: how often your page appeared when someone searched your name, and how many people opened it. The numbers come from Search Console data WorkOfficially holds for its own site, so there is nothing to connect, no Google login and no key on your side. They are "at least" numbers, because Google hides searches for rare phrases and a full name is often one of them.
Your own domain
Point a domain you own at your page. Add a TXT record to prove the domain is yours, then set a forward at your registrar. Your WorkOfficially address keeps working alongside it.
No "more talent like this"
On Pro, the module that suggests other freelancers is switched off on your page. A client who arrives on your name sees you, and only you.
IndexNow on every change
When you change your page we ping IndexNow, so the search engines that support it hear about the change straight away. Google does not use IndexNow; it follows our sitemap, which updates when your page does. We say so plainly because the difference matters.
Being found is a choice, not a default you cannot change.
Open
Offered to search engines under your full name, with your employer's name shown. The page most people want when they are free to say where they work.
Discreet
Still offered under your full name, but employer and client names are hidden. People find you without finding out who you work for or who you work with.
Hidden
Not indexed at all. The page is kept out of Google, invisible to viewers from the companies you name, and shows you as a first name and an initial. Own your name still works for the people you send the link to; it just does not advertise.
What we do and do not claim.
Own your name, answered.
Will my WorkOfficially profile show up when someone Googles my name?
Every finished public profile is written to be found: a clean URL, Person structured data, and your verified badge and reviews on one page. We submit it to Google in our sitemap the next time you save. Submitted is not the same as indexed: Google decides when, and whether, to index a page, and it usually takes 3 to 14 days. We never guarantee a position, and a page with little on it may not be indexed at all.
What is in the monthly name report?
How often your page appeared for searches of your name and how many people opened it, from the Search Console data WorkOfficially holds for its own site. There is no Google login and no key on your side. The figures are "at least" numbers because Google hides rare search phrases. The report is part of Pro.
Can I use my own domain for my page?
On Pro, yes. Add a TXT record to prove you own the domain, then set a forward at your registrar so the domain opens your WorkOfficially page.
What if I do not want to be found on Google?
Choose the Hidden privacy mode and your page is never offered to search engines at all: it carries a noindex instruction, it is left out of our sitemap, it is invisible to viewers from the companies you name, and it shows you as a first name and an initial. Discreet still offers the page under your full name with employer and client names hidden.
Your name. Your page.
