How to get an Updated Logo in Search Results?
-
I'm having trouble getting a new logo in search results. My company, RealSelf, updated our logo over a year ago and both Google and Bing continue to show our old logo in image results. Worst of all, this means that when people look for our logo, they find the wrong one and include that in new, external content.
Here's a list of what we've tried:
- We've modified all the logos on our site with the new one (not including a few PDF whitepapers from before the redesign
- Added schema.org logo and organization markup
- Featured a high resolution image on our "Logos" page (top result for "RealSelf logo")
- Verified wikipedia has the proper image
- Modified all social profile logos: Twitter, Facebook, G+, etc..
- Begun outreach efforts to have high ranking image results update our logo
I'm wondering if there are other ideas besides getting more creative/successful with our outreach tactics?

Thanks for helping Dirk!

Dirk's suggestions are perfect. In addition, I would add a few things.
First just to check, this is your real new logo now? http://fi.realself.com/images/layout/logo.png?1398004321
When you do the image search in Google, just look at where all the old images are located. For example I would go through ALL of the results, not just Dr Ellen - like this one shows up for me: http://www.elitemdspa.com/realself-testimonials/
Contact all websites that are using your old logo and ask them to update to the new one.
-
Point 6 seams to be the most important one - make sure they update all the logo's (most of the results I get seem to be affiliated with your company - so this shouldn't be to difficult to do).
Example: http://drellen.com/realself-reviews/ - the logo is changed in the body - but the bigger logo is still the old one.
On your site - rename your logo to real-self-logo.png & make the alt "Real Self Logo" to make it very obvious that the image = your logo

When Company names confuse search
I am currently perplexed over a client's search results. They are an established company and well known in their field. (Unfortunately, I am not comfortable providing a link or their name.) The company is a consulting firm and let's assume it is an accounting firm, which it is not. When you search on BSC Accounting the results give them the first result but the next 18 results are around education - BSc Accounting. Consider the DA on the site is 34 and the PA for homepage is 39. Is there a chance that when someone is searching on accounting firms that having the BSC in the name skews what they are able to rank for? Forget about searches for their exact name, I am more interested in thoughts as to how the BSC effects general searches for their specialties.

Where Does Google Pull the Photo From When You Search For Your Brand?
Hi All, In doing a search for our brand from our corporate HQ (Learning Tree), I came across a large embedded "ad" so to speak on the right hand side front and center of one of our locations (see attached photo). Clearly this is from Google's Knowledge Graph. We aren't pleased with the photo of a computer screen pulling randomly from our website...we are OK with the map listing though. Anyway to change this? As a note, when you search for "Learning Tree International" (our more official name as the entity as a whole - we have many locations around the world, and also one near our corporate HQ, which is the one that's displaying when you search "Learning Tree" alone), much better imagery of our logo is displayed. That's coming from our corporate G+ page. Any suggestions? Thank you. s0C5ZpT&hXaLhE7 s0C5ZpT&hXaLhE7#1

Spam in search engine results for company brand name
Hi, I'm having a strange problem with a certain comapny. When you Google their brand name the first 8 results or so are related - their site, Google+ page, Twitter etc. The rest of the results are completely unrelated to the site and much of it is in another language and looks really spammy. According to the site owner until recently the first 50-60 results were related - mostly local results, press releases, and franchise companies listing his business. They don't have a great link profile but that shouldn't have them dropping out of the results, especially since they're still ranking in the top 1-8 positions. Here's the strangest part: the company name is Libertana. All the spammy results are not so much spammy, they're related to the syllable "na". Examples: Ivanyukite-Na Mineral Data įt$koka!na's sounds on SoundCloud - Hear the world's sounds Bosiniya na Herizegovina - Wikipedia What on earth is going on? Why would they rank for the last syllable of their name?

How to get Google to link external review sites in Google Places
Hi, I have several company profiles in Google Places and Google Sites, I also have the same profiles for those companies in review sites like Yelp! and so on. I have seen that other sites have links on the bottom where Google points to those external review sites, but that doesn't happen for me yet, is there a way to tell Google that I have profiles on other review sites so they can link them or is it Google whenever they find them that will link them? Here's an example: http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=14126341780178539960&hl=en At the bottom you'll see that it says: Reviews from around the web Now this is one of mine: http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=12168877126282825032&hl=en Now how do I get that line at the bottom provided that I know there are reviews out there in other sites? Is there something I can do? Or is it all about Google doing it whenever they see fit? Thank you!
