When you Google "unitarian"

You get these first three entries in this order. Interesting. And what does that say about branding?

  1. The results are different if you are not in the USA. For me, the three main results in English are:

    Unitarianism – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Unitarian Universalism – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    First Unitarian Church of San Jose

    This is because San José is one of the very few UU websites that includes pages in Spanish.

    If you run a search for “unitarian” (in English) but with Spanish results, the three first entries are:

    First Unitarian Church of San Jose
    Unitarian Universalists of Puerto Rico
    First Unitarian-Universalist Church of Austin

    That is, three local churches or fellowships. I think that these results are also very revealing.

    Finally, if you run “unitario” (Spanish), the third result is for uuhispano.net (the first two are for the unitary, i.e. anti-federal, political party in Argentina).

  2. FYI — I just googled “unitarian” (without quotes) and I got the following for the top 3 non-sponsored links:

    Perhaps the search result order is fluid and changes over time?
