How can I add my house name on Google Maps?

You can add places to Google maps . Here are the steps to add a new place(and is applicable for adding home too).Go to Google Maps apps and drop a pin at the place where you need to add.Now some details will appear pull that up(scroll that up). Now you will see the option called “Add a missing place” . So, click on that .So, do the necessary entries to the appropriate fields.In Category you can select Home.Important Note: As soon as you select the category as home it will be converted to label and will only appear on the devices in which your Google account is logged in and it will be not publicly available for everyone.So, what you can do is to select some other nearest or other more appropriate category other than home. (Do this if you desperately want your home to publicly appear).As soon as the above 4 steps are done, your edit will be sent to google for review (this might take around 1min to 1 day). Once the Google approves your edit then the place will be available for public in Google maps.

When I type my name into Google, a slanderous news story appears in the top results. Is there any way, through search engine optimization (SEO), to bump this result down? This result is hurting my personal brand and business.

The first thing I would do is attempt to contact the site owner and try to get the article removed. If they refuse and the article is NOT true, you could possible send them some threatening legal letter saying to remove the article by a certain date or you are going to go forward in filing charges for slander. I'm not a lawyer though, so I'd consult one before doing that. But if that all fails...There is one thing that is on the darker side of SEO, called negative SEO. Which is the practice of trying to intentionally get a site penalized by Google for attempting to manipulate the ranking of their site unnaturally. This results in Google either lowering the sites ranking, or completely sand boxing the site and it being removed from the search results all together. The way this is primarily done is by creating a few thousand "spammy" back links to the site so that Google recognizes these unnatural back links and thinks that the sites owners are attempting to manipulate their ranking. A couple years ago, when I was more involved in the practice of SEO, there were many services on SEO forums offering negative SEO services as a way to get the competitor you have come to believe is impossible to out rank to suddenly disappear, so you therefore no longer have to worry about trying to out rank them.I'm not sure if Google has made any updates to the search algorithm to combat this, I'm not sure how they would be able to considering how could they tell who is responsible for the back links. But as far as I know these negative SEO tactics do still work for smaller websites that do not have much domain authority.This is also very frowned upon and very looked down upon in the SEO community, especially doing it to your competition. But for the purpose of getting rid of a slanderous article that is simply not true, I would think it would be okay as a last resort.

How do I get my Instagram account to show up on Google search?

Google likes to see engagement. We’ve been seeing this trend with SEO rankings. Content that has a lot of engagement tend to rank higher in some cases compared to content that doesn’t have user engagement. Not always the case, but it’s happening and in SEO we know Google is trending that way. So working on engagement for post you want to appear helps.It still takes backlinks to get content showing. Profiles appear the most, I’ve only seen post show a few times. But honestly, I’m never on the look out for it so it could be more/less. A great way to build this up if you have a website is by linking website pages to your Instagram account.Being active in the account will help.I’ve also seen bigger accounts show up in search results. Rarely do I see post. It’s usually profiles. In these cases, it’s usually images that show in the results.Post that do appear in search are usually 3–4 paragraphs at the least with 20–30 hashtags.I know Google likes to test a lot, it’s possible the post I’ve seen in search have been test. The few times I’ve seen it in search have been over the last 7–8 months.Your likely better off trying to rank your content and videos while mentioning your Instagram account in the content or linking it from the content. I’ve seen Twitter post rank in search and Facebook post, but only a few times. I doubt any of them will rank outside of images and Google playing around.
