Why Searchability is the First Step to Thought Leadership

Posted on by Bhavik Sarkhedi

In today’s digital economy, every CEO’s name is effectively a brand. Surveys show a powerful connection between executive profiles and company success, 77% of consumers say a CEO’s reputation affects their willingness to invest, and 70% say visible CEO thought leadership positively shapes their view of the company. 

CEOs and founders are often told to “become the brand” for their business, weaving personal values, achievements, and narrative into a strategy that builds trust and influence. This is especially true in Dubai, where business leaders face fierce global competition; personal branding here is “a vital strategy” to ensure you stand out in a market of boundless opportunity. In short, your name is the brand, make sure it is findable and favorable online.

People will Google you. What comes up on the first page of search results is the first impression of your leadership. If you don’t have a personal website, that first page will be dominated by third-party profiles or outdated mentions you don’t control. Instead, a dedicated executive site lets you own your narrative: to display your bio, publish your insights, and highlight your achievements. As one branding guide notes, a strong personal website and LinkedIn profile together shape what shows up in search. A site also offers long-term control, unlike a company bio, a personal site “stays with you” for the entirety of your career.

Thought Leadership Starts with Searchability

Even the best thought-leadership articles or videos won’t matter if no one sees them. Modern executives understand that discoverability is the foundation of influence. Search engines, above all, determine whether your ideas reach partners, investors, media, and prospects. The good news is that CEOs can use SEO to boost their visibility, credibility, and authority online. The first step is to own your name: buy a domain (e.g., YourName.com) and publish a clear, mobile-friendly site about you. 

Integrate strategic keywords into your content (for instance, your industry plus “leadership” terms) so that your site ranks when people search your name or expertise. Embed links to high-authority outlets (podcasts, articles, or conferences) to earn backlinks; this not only drives traffic but also signals trust to Google.

SEO isn’t a separate initiative; it’s the engine that powers your thought leadership. As CEO Hangout advises, your website should serve as a cornerstone of your online presence, with sections for your insights and professional journey. Even a one-page site can dramatically improve your search presence by pushing down irrelevant content. LinkedIn and other platforms help, too, but they are only one part of your footprint. 

When Forbes, LinkedIn, or industry sites link back to your site or quote you, your Google rankings improve. LinkedIn research confirms that 64% of C-suite decision-makers say high-quality thought leadership directly influences buying decisions. 

CEOs who consistently share insights online reap rewards: companies whose leaders publish regularly enjoy ~2× more brand awareness and lead generation. In practice, executives who “publish insightful articles and engage on social media” see better company visibility, a richer sales pipeline, and stronger investor confidence. In short, thought leadership starts with searchability; make your content discoverable so it can lead the conversation.

What to Include on Your Executive Site

An executive website should act as the definitive hub for your personal brand. In one place, it can list your credentials, showcase your ideas, and make it easy for stakeholders to connect with you. Key elements often include:

  • About/Bio Page: A clear narrative of your career, values, and expertise with a professional headshot. Include your roles, industry focus, and any notable awards or certifications. (As Reputation911 recommends, this is where you publish your “bio, headshot, accomplishments, and a press kit or resume”.)
  • Thought Leadership & Insights: A blog or article section where you post commentary on industry trends, case studies, etc., or interviews. Regularly updated articles (or video/podcasts) let you showcase your point of view and keep fresh content indexed by Google. CEO Hangout notes that personal sites should feature “thought leadership articles, speaking engagements, and professional insights” to build authority.
  • Media & Press: A page highlighting your public presence, links to press interviews, conference talks, award announcements, or guest columns. Provide downloadable assets (e.g., high-res headshots, media kit PDF) so reporters and event organizers can easily feature you. Including these also creates valuable backlinks and context for search engines.
  • Projects & Achievements: If relevant, detail major projects or company milestones you led. This could be case studies, patents, published books, or even civic activities. Concrete evidence of success and expertise reinforces your credibility.
  • Contact/Speaking Requests: A simple contact form or email address for inquiries, especially for keynote or consulting requests. List your social media handles too (or at least link to your professional LinkedIn/X) to make it easy to follow you.

By organizing your site this way, you ensure visitors and search engines see the full picture of who you are. It’s a living portfolio that you control. As one expert puts it, a personal site “controls top search results and builds authority”. 

Even a concise one-page profile can “boost your visibility and push down irrelevant content,” especially when it’s kept updated with your latest role and media mentions. In short, on your site, include everything that conveys your executive story, skills, vision, and proof points, in a coherent package.

Case Examples from Ohh My Brand Clients

The results speak for themselves. Consider these real-world examples from Ohh My Brand clients, illustrating the power of a strategic personal presence:

  • Ajay Thaker – Executive (Technology): Ajay Thaker had 28 years of high-impact Oracle projects under his belt, but his online profiles were underplaying it. We didn’t just revamp his resume online; we translated his career into a narrative. By rewriting his LinkedIn and personal site with SEO-rich headlines and a clear value proposition, his profile now “does what his presence has done for decades: command trust, inspire confidence, [and] attract opportunity”. In short, Ajay’s digital presence finally matches the expert he has always been.
  • BrainerHub – Tech Company (Ahmedabad): Originally a local software powerhouse in India, BrainerHub was virtually invisible online. We built their site from the ground up, including SEO architecture, targeted content, and PR outreach, focusing on European markets (Switzerland, Ireland, Scandinavia). The results in 6 months were dramatic: their website authority jumped (Domain Rating 0→36) and traffic grew 8.5×, driving qualified leads directly to the founders from the exact countries targeted. The offline leader became an online success, with investors and partners in Zurich and Oslo now discovering them.
  • Prime Offshore Accounting – Founder-Led Firm: This specialized finance firm deliberately stayed low-key until they decided to build online authority instead of ad campaigns. We invested in clean technical SEO and a founder-focused strategy. Within nine months, they ranked at the top for key search terms (e.g., “Best Offshore Accounting Companies in India”), and the CEO’s posts and articles generated over 800 warm prospects across the UK, US, UAE, and beyond. The business didn’t grow by shouting louder; it grew by appearing more clearly.

These case studies underline a simple fact: visibility drives opportunity. Each client’s investment in a polished digital presence (personal site + content) led to measurable business impact, more site traffic, higher search rankings, and real-world leads from around the globe. In every instance, the executive’s expertise was amplified by controlling what showed up in search and sharing authentic insights.

In 2025 and beyond, a CEO’s website is no longer optional; it’s a leadership asset. It consolidates your brand, amplifies your thought leadership, and ensures your story is told on your terms. For executives in Dubai’s global marketplace, this means greater trust from investors, clearer recruitment of talent, and an expanded network of partners. Take control of your digital legacy today: build your site, populate it with your best content, and let the world find you first.

If it doesn’t open,it’s not your door !

If it doesn’t open,it’s not your door !

If it doesn’t open,it’s not your door !-Keep knocking and while away, the doors won’t open, because you’re not the one meant to enter them, you don’t belong there!

You have your own skill, your own eccentricity, all you need to do is discovering the same and choosing your own path. The path will lead you to the doors which you’re meant to enter. Life is correctly called a journey and each one of us is on a different journey so how come we go through the same paths and enter the same doors?

The thing that is right for us will eventually fall in our way but we got to push ourselves in the direction of finding the right thing. No efforts go in vain if they are done with zeal and determination. And the efforts done in the direction of finding what we are meant to do, where do we belong and what we are destined for never fail.

Let’s give it an honest try to find the right door, that we’re meant to enter, where we belong. Let’s do the efforts in the right direction. Let’s stop knocking the wrong doors, they’ll never open anyways!

The Courtesy Of The Country. It’s Not What You Think

Posted on by Bhavik Sarkhedi

Respect, manners and obedience are in our blood. We are cultured and incessantly one of the most ancient societies in the world. We don’t brag about our inventions and discoveries. We are a 36 state diversified but dauntless country who believes in prosperity and not in power. We celebrate festivals more than the total festivals in other countries. We don’t tantalize; we tolerate. We don’t manipulate; we create miracles.We are 1.2 billion but we are ONE together.Yes, I am talking about my country, my India.

I just wanted to talk about India’s courtesy and dignity in brief. It is ineffable though. I don’t want to be lousy and loquacious about what other countries are not but I wish to talk about what my country is. Needless to say that Indian people holds the position to attract any possible technological or non-technological fields.

Indian way of thinking has always been a unique contributor to many legendary triumphs. Our values, cultures and ideologies have helped us brainstorm and buck up in any troubles. We know it; the world knows it. We may follow western culture; we don’t forget ours. We adopt; we adapt. Indian is filled with people with different mannerisms but somehow the overall persona has a flavor that unites each of us.

I have some personal memories that I want to share. The instants which protrude from the inside makes me feel majestic for being born in Indian soil. Since Lufthansa’s latest TV Commercial has the same concept, I will compare and connect while I communicate. #MoreIndianThanYouThink is in the trends as Lufthansa have given us the privilege and bestowed an honor for appreciating who we are.

My personal illustration also revolves around their tagline “More Indian than you think” and therefore I want to include a reference to the celebration of India’s growing global influence in Lufthansa’s TVC.

Being a founder of one of the renowned copywriting agencies in Gujarat, I am often invited to speak in the blogging/writing events and conferences. I explore varieties of civilization from across the globe and I feel dumbfounded. Technical Writers, Content Writers, Copywriters, Ghostwriters, Motivational Speakers, Standup Comedians, Bloggers and all the professions which eventually relates to ‘Content’ gathers and addresses their experience and expertise.

Just like in the Olympics where the athlete involve themselves completely to exhibit their country, the individuals here come with their own skillset, accent, attire, and extrinsic elements. There’s no conflict and comparison of the same but one thing is certain that someone is going to be noticed after all, after the event is over. You want to be that someone, don’t you? Is it because of your private personality or courtesy of your country? The question is rhetorical and can jeopardize your forthcoming actions. It’s simple: You have to show Indian-ness.

Let’s come back to the Lufthansa advertisement. Right from the beginning the ad shows a cricket team trained under a rigorous coach to play with the Indian Team. In a nutshell, they are trying to adapt to Indian culture. The ad has a perfect beginning, precise middle part and a thorough end. The ad ends with the team sitting on the plane which has everything INDIAN. Period.

Before standing up on the stage, I had decided to make a British accent and talk about the globalization and urbanization. No sooner had I stepped onto the stage stairs than the mindset changed indifferently. Was it bad? Was it wrong? To fight with my inside storm, I was gobsmacked when my typical ‘Indian’ English accent genuinely turned my speech hilarious and intellectual. I continued for about 30 minutes and from talking about my niche of content writing to generously saying about my country to all the dignitaries, all I could hear was the chant “This Indian Rocks”. PS- The chant wasn’t limited to my colleagues nearby but the foreign personnel. Yes, the originality and be what you are, worked effectively.

To this date, it is imprinted in my mind and no wonder why I am sure it must have made a great impression on the spectators too.

Along with ‘More Indian than you think’, I think it’s also respectable and suitable to say ‘One is a billion because billion is ONE here’

Do You Have Insomnia? Here Is Something For You [edited]

Sleep deprivation can be a here and now or unending condition, yet it generally includes issues with nodding off or staying unconscious. Short-term (transient) a sleeping disorder can be created by sickness, stress, travel, or ecological elements. Long term (ceaseless) a sleeping disorder might be because of hidden mental or physical conditions.

Regardless of whether it’s brought on by stream slack, worry at work, a Netflix fixation, or simply your inner clock, there’s nothing fun about attempting to nod off. Any individual who’s been there knows late evenings spent hurling and swinging lead to caffeine-subordinate mornings, and the cycle can be horrendous.

However, another review by analysts at the University of Colorado, Boulder, says you ought to begin sparing that latte cash and put it towards a greatly improved cure: an end of the week outdoors trip.

The little contextual analysis found that nine individuals who spent an end of the week outdoors in the Rocky Mountains without their cherished electronics–compared to five who remained home–naturally nodded off up to 1.8 hours prior and woke up before, as well.

Rest hormone melatonin is discharged because of dimness, yet all the time we spend stuck to our telephones and PCs, among other unfortunate propensities, can distract its planning. The device free campers appreciated about 10 hours of rest every night, and considerably more essentially, scientists found that their melatonin discharge had moved after the test.

Also, in the event that you have a kind sized container of bug splash lying around and will invest somewhat additional energy out there, far and away superior outcomes were found in five campers who burned through six days in nature. Their melatonin was discharged 2.6 hours sooner than some time recently.

In spite of the fact that this review should be recreated on a bigger scale to grow more believable discoveries, it recommends that even a couple days living without simulated light could reset your circadian cadence and help you remain on a typical rest plan long after you’ve collapsed up your tent.

Be that as it may, imagine a scenario in which you can’t get an outdoors stumble on the date-book at any point in the near future. There’s something characteristically superb, fulfilling and reviving of navigating a traverse nature for a timeframe with only what you can bear on your back. From the strengthening sights to the tranquil snapshots of self-reflection, trekking and exploring the outside give various medical advantages going from physical to mental to profound.

Trekking can be as simple as strolling in your neighbourhood, or as troublesome as a mountain climb contingent upon one’s present physical action level. Dissimilar to the treadmill, trekking offers new view, distinctive landscape, and requires no hardware. Stress can upset your regular daily existence, bringing about medical issues and sorrow. Trekking is an incredible approach to decrease the worry in your life, in light of the arrival of endorphins, which are known to make us cheerful! Taking in the outside air and nature around you while trekking is an awesome approach to help enhance your emotional wellness, and it is accepted to likewise enhance memory and usefulness of the mind. Taking in the natural air, and additionally observing plants and creatures can likewise give you a superior energy about the world and a feeling of smoothness and satisfaction.

“In the event that we will probably have individuals resting at sensible circumstances so they’re not snoozing at work and school, there are things we can do in our day by day lives,” Kenneth Wright, executive of the chronobiology lab at UC Boulder, disclosed to The Guardian. “We would suggest getting more common daylight, and that could begin the day with a stroll outside, or bringing all the more light inside on the off chance that you can, or sitting by a window. As critical, however, is to

The Humble Faith Story/Soup for the Soul

Make others happy but don’t lose that smile!We are human beings, with feelings overloaded in us.We feel! We just feel a lot every day. The feeling can be any but we never fail to feel as long as we’re alive. We laugh, we smile, we cry, we scowl, and what not. But the most common feeling around everywhere is the feeling of affection and love.

Be it anything, if it pleases us, we just love to stay with it for as long as we can. We love it and we show little gestures of affection towards it.

Same is with people around us. We come across many of them in our life and we do whatever it takes, to keep the ones happy with whom we’re closely related and sometimes, we make those smile too whom we barely know.

It’s just the matter of feelings. We’ll do what we feel.

But are we striving too hard to bring a smile on their faces?

Our efforts are golden if we’re drawing forth happy curves on someone’s lips but they must not take more than what it’s required.

Be humble enough!
