Don’t you know who I am? That question might have you envisioning celebutantes and has-been actors desperately vying for the spotlight. But MemberClicks blogger Sarah Hill suggests it’s one associations should be thinking about.

Hill recommends that staff members Google their nonprofit to see how it’s perceived by the public. They can uncover positive and negative reviews, find ways to improve strategies, and strive to better appeal to potential members.

In the event that your association has slipped into online obscurity, she says, it’s even more imperative to take action.

“Your website is key to visibility these days,” Hill writes, “and if your association isn’t appearing at all in search engines something’s wrong and it may be seriously crippling your chances at visibility, marketing, and recruitment. Consider updating a little more regularly the things you do have control over like photo galleries and blog posts.”
