It is safe to assume most everyone will look you up on Google prior to visiting your business, hiring you for a service, or purchasing your products and/or services. Whenever you interact with people, whether in-person or online, how you present your brand is exceedingly important.
Think of all of the brands you know. While your impression may be positive, negative or somewhere in between, you are likely to automatically perceive them as credible based on the fact that they are known brands. Branding can help increase your own credibility by improving the perception of your business. People buy more from companies they feel they can trust.
Branding may also make you look more established, even if your company has only been in business for a short period of time. It can make a small business look like a Fortune 500 company, which will boosts credibility and allows them to compete with significantly larger brands.
No matter your approach to branding, it is critical to consider what your audience expects of brands such as yours, and find ways to create that brand connection.
