Questionnaire

Your knowledge profile

Sixteen questions in five short parts. Answer what you can, skip what you cannot, and come back to it later if you want: this page remembers what you have typed on this device.

Finding the sources is my job, not yours

Nothing gets invented about you. Where an answer can be matched to something already published, it goes into the part search engines and assistants read. Where it cannot, it still appears on your page as your own statement, clearly marked as such.

Tracking down where each fact already appears is the work you are paying for, so this form does not ask you to do it. Answer in your own words, as briefly as you like. You approve the finished page before anything goes live.

    Part A of EYou

    A. You

    The settled version of the basics. These are what every other source gets checked against.

    Including whether there is a middle name or an initial. Once this is settled it goes on every source and stops changing.

    So the answers can be sent back to you, and so I can ask about anything unclear.

    The one that should appear everywhere from now on. If two are genuinely current, say which comes first.

    The number is the strongest identifier there is. It joins you to the company in a way a matching name never can.

    Plain words. This becomes the line that appears under your name.

    B. Your background

    Rough is fine. Dates to the year, not the month.

    A regulator number is a public identifier and one of the few things that cannot be confused with somebody else of your name.

    Optional, and the single most useful thing for telling you apart from a namesake. The year only, never the full date.

    C. What is already out there

    Links, pasted in, however untidy. I will do the rest.

    LinkedIn, X, Instagram, a company bio page, an old personal site. One per line. These are what get pointed at each other so they stop looking like different people.

    Coverage about you, things you wrote, talks, podcasts, awards, directory entries, books or papers. All in one list, and a rough description is fine where you cannot find the link.

    An old title, a former company, a photograph of somebody else, a namesake being taken for you. This is the only place I will hear about it.

    D. A photograph

    One question, and one tick that has to be there for a picture to be used at all.

    Head and shoulders works best. It gets cropped square for link previews and a wide one loses the chin.

    The largest version you have, straight off your phone is fine. It is resized and re-saved on arrival, which strips the hidden data a phone attaches to a picture, including where it was taken. JPEG or PNG, up to 12MB. An iPhone HEIC file cannot be read here, so set Formats to Most Compatible first. This is the one answer the page cannot remember for you, so it needs choosing again if you come back later.

    Whoever pressed the shutter owns the copyright unless they signed it over in writing, and paying for the shoot is not enough on its own. Without this tick the page still publishes, just without the picture.

    A much bigger permission and not needed for your page. It lets anybody reuse the picture, including commercially, and it cannot be withdrawn. Leave it alone if you are unsure. Your page is identical either way.

    E. Limits, and what you want

    The last three, and they change what gets built.

    Name the subject, not the detail. "A health matter", "a case from 2019", "a former business". That is enough to keep it out, and you do not have to write the thing itself down.

    Some people want more results under their name. Others want fewer. Both are real jobs and they pull in opposite directions. Not sure is a fine answer.

    The thing you would like to come up first when somebody searches your name.
