What They Type Matters — What Auto-Fills Matters More
Control how you're seen before they hit search.
We optimize Google, Bing, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo autocomplete suggestions so your name isn't defined by the worst thing ever written about you.
Search Box Optimization: Reclaim the First Impression
They haven’t even hit enter yet… and the damage is already done.
Google’s autocomplete shows suggestions like:
“John Doe arrest”
“John Doe scam”
“John Doe mugshot”
Sound familiar? You're not alone.
Search engines influence perception before anyone even sees your results. That split-second autocomplete drop-down sets the tone — and when it’s negative, it can cost you a job, a relationship, or your peace of mind. Most importantly—it draws searchers to what they might not otherwise would not tailor the search to: keywords like mugshot, arrest, divorce, investigation.
Why Autocomplete is So Powerful (and Dangerous)
Pre-Click Influence:
70% of users click on autocomplete suggestions. If the first one says something negative, that's where they’re headed.Low Competition, High Impact:
Search box suggestions are based on frequency, not fairness. A handful of searches — even by bots or trolls — can shape your public narrative.It's Invisible Sabotage:
You might not even realize your autocomplete is hurting you — but employers, dates, clients, and neighbors do.
How We Fix It
Our Search Box Optimization Service helps shift the narrative where it starts:
In the suggestions that appear when someone types your name.
We use sophisticated campaigns to build positive keyword association
✅ Diversified, geo-targeted search behavior to influence autosuggest
✅ Support for Google, Bing, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo
✅ Monitoring to keep negative phrases from creeping back in
The result?
When someone types your name, they see suggestions like:
“John Doe portfolio”
“John Doe reviews”
“John Doe volunteer work”
And not the things you’re trying to move past.
We Believe the Internet Shouldn’t Have the Final Word
Search engines don’t know who you really are.
They just reflect patterns — and those patterns can be changed.
