Chances are if you are reading this, you know that I play a loan officer on Twitter at least some of the time.
And because I have a few friends on Twitter, I couldn’t help but notice when The Phoenix Real Estate Guy (aka Jay Thompson) wrote a post about Huntington National Bank.
And I remember chuckling to myself as I was reading it and thinking…
I wonder how long it will take before someone will Google “Huntington National Bank” and that post will be at the top of the list.

Ok, so it might be sitting at number 2 now – but still.
There are a whole lot of suits working there who are probably looking for a good SEO firm right now who can help remedy this situation – feel free to dm me on Twitter if you want to know who I think the best is that can help you fix this little “problem”!
No wonder those dudes who call this stuff “reputation management” charge so much.
Every time someone wants to learn about Free Checking at Huntington (or whatever they want to know/learn about Huntington) the first thing they get to look at is “…ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?”
And if that doesn’t make you smile on a Monday morning, I am guessing you work at Huntington.
Oh, and hopefully they have changed the ridiculous terms they demand, but that is an entirely different blog post.

Justin – It’s showing as the second result for me right now but that is pretty funny. Just another testament showing how good Thesis does in the search engines. Glad to see another site running the Sharp skin. Keep up the good writing!
@Chris,
Thanks for stopping by — I don’t know all that much about SEO, but I do know that Thesis rocks!

It’s sad because this problem would be so darn easy to fix. Someone in the PR department over there has an epic fail on there hands.

@Josh,
Thanks for stopping by – and I agree: it is a fixable problem by the people who know what they are doing! So far, I haven’t heard from anyone at Huntington Bank, but I will keep everyone posted if I do.

I think what’s even scarier is Huntington could fix the SEO problem but leave the underlying reality in place: they require absofreakinglutely ridiculous terms before they’ll even let a buyer make an offer on an REO foreclosure home they own. I love SEO as much as the next geek but we’ll also always need fact-checking grunts on the ground.
