What does Google say about you?
Buyers search your name before they reply. We look at what they find, show how much of it you wrote yourself, and email you a one page report.

Online presence check questions
01What is a free online presence check?
It is a one page report on what people find when they search your name or company on Google. A person at Publisive Media runs the search, lists what shows on page one, separates what you wrote yourself from anything independent, and recommends three publications that fit your business, with their monthly readership. We call it a press check.
02How do I check my online presence for free?
Send us your name, your email and the name or company you want checked, using the form on this page. We search it the way a buyer would, in a clean browser, and email you the report within 48 hours. It costs nothing and there is no obligation.
03What is in the report?
Five answers: what page one of Google says about you, how much of it you wrote, whether any publication has covered you, three publications that fit your industry with their real monthly audience, and what one published feature would add to your search results.
04Is the online presence check really free?
Yes. The check and the report are free, and you are under no obligation to work with us afterwards. The report is yours to keep.
05How do I see what Google shows when someone searches my name?
Search your name in a private or incognito window while signed out, so your own history does not change the results, and read the first page as a stranger would. Our check does this for you and explains what each result means for a buyer.
06How do I change Google search results for my name?
You cannot delete results you do not own, but you can add stronger ones. Articles about you on established publications are indexed quickly, sit on trusted domains and link back to your site, so over time they take the places a buyer looks at first. Your report shows which publications fit you.
07What if Google shows almost nothing about me?
That is common, and useful to know. The report says so plainly and shows which publications would give buyers something independent to find when they search you.
08What if I already have press coverage?
The report will show it, where it appears, and how much of your first page it covers. It can also point out coverage that exists but does not show up when people search your name.
09Is this the same as a PR audit or a personal brand audit?
It covers the part of a PR audit and a personal brand audit that buyers actually see: your Google results and your press coverage. It does not review your website, your social posting or your messaging, which keeps it short and free.
10Is this an online reputation check?
Partly. It shows what a buyer finds about you and how much of it is independent. It is not a reputation management service and it does not remove or suppress results.
11Do I have to buy anything after?
No. The report stands on its own. If you want to act on it, reply and we will walk you through your options. If not, you keep the report.
12Where do the readership numbers come from?
We publish the monthly audience of the publications we place in, using Semrush and HypeStat estimates checked in September 2026. The same figures go into your report, so you can compare outlets on numbers rather than logos.
