Your Profile: A Five-Minute Check-In

We continue our focus on JD Supra Spring Cleaning with a look at how to quickly refresh your firm's public profile. To whit:

Log into your account, select the top right 'Profile' drop-down menu, navigate to 'View/Edit' your profile.

At the top of the page, click the EDIT PROFILE button and take a moment to confirm or update the information listed there. Among other things, check:

• is your primary mailing address correct?
• are your links to additional web resources up to date? Any new properties to add since your last update?
• are your firm description and other BIO fields current?

Make any changes and click to save. It's that easy. Also take a moment to ensure that your logo is as it should be. You can upload a new logo at the top of this edit page – simply ensure that the new file meets the specifications included in the prompt.

And speaking of brand visuals, now is also a good time to confirm that your branded header and branded background meet your current color guidelines. If not – or, if you haven't yet taken advantage of this service add-on – let me know.

Note that this page also enables you to grab a badge that promotes and drives people to your shiny new profile page. Consider adding a badge wherever else you list such collateral (email sigs, blogs, etc). It's a terrific way to highlight your archive of thought leadership and increase subscriber-followers of your firm directly on JD Supra.
