6 Power Tips To Use Google Like An Expert

Post date: 2022-05-01 Category: Marketing

A few weeks ago, I authored an article here with some quick tips on how you could improve your Google searches.  It provided some of the most useful features of Google that are relatively straight-forward, but few people knew about.
Here's the first article, if you haven't read that one yet: 12 Quick Tips To Search Google Like An Expert
The response to the article was overwhelming.  Both those relatively unfamiliar with Google's advanced features and those that were Google experts seemed to like the article.  The experts likely bookmarked the article to send to their friends and family.
In any case, as a follow-up to that article, I'd like to share another set of quick tips to improve how you use Google's search bar.  Many of these were user contributions as comments to the original article.  Thanks to those that shared their favorite tips.
