wikipedia logo Wikipedia visibility agency, WikiExperts, has announced a free evaluation and recommendations for corporations looking to boost the searchability and visibility of their Wikipedia profiles. The offer runs through March 15, 2013 and is available at the company’s website.

“Today, many people don’t bother going to corporate websites,” WikiExperts CEO, Alex Konanykhin, said “instead, they prefer to look up the information on Wikipedia. In other words, it’s often more important what Wikipedia says about the company, its products, services, and executives, than what the company says about itself on its own website.”

Konanykhin describes several reasons for considering Wikipedia as one of, if the not the single, most important component of a successful corporate visibility strategy. These elements include:

• General familiarity with Wikipedia profile designs leading to quicker information access than from corporate websites.

• A greater perceived neutrality and objectivity given to information written in Wikipedia’s factual tone with supporting references. This is contrary to the perception of corporate websites as mere propaganda written by professional PR information spinners.

• Wikipedia profiles are among the top results returned in Google searches.

• The mobile friendliness of Wikipedia has led to regularly reaching 3 billion monthly mobile page views.

Qualifying companies for the free review will have an existing Wikipedia profile in English or Spanish published prior to February 2013.
