Judy,
We have more coming about ZoomInfo – especially the versions that let you target your audience (Judy is a coach and speaker) in ways you could never imagine.
Matthew,
True enough that a Google search will often include ZoomInfo profiles, much like Wikipedia entries. The issue is that depending on whether the name is common or unusual, the correct profile may well appear in Google result #362 or further down the line.
In ZoomInfo people search all you’re looking through is people – In a company search all you’re looking through is companies. After a while, you’ll just go to the freezer when you’re looking for ice cream – not the Google sock drawer.
We’ll also be writing about managing your own profile – adding a photo, job history, education, biography, etc. I see you have a ZoomInfo profile – costs nothing to edit, correct and improve it. That way potential customers, partners and employers will get the correct info right away.

It should be noted that once a user registers for ZoomInfo and buids a profile with their real name, that information is searchable shortly thereafter using Google. So, Google may know a bit more than “diddley” about people than lead to believe.

I always read your posts as soon as they become available. And always learn something new and valuable.

Zoominfo.com gave me some information this morning that helped me today and will continue to be one of my resources.

Thanks so much!
