Boost My Google Scholar Citations

My Google Scholar profile sits in the Science and Technology domain and I’d like to see its citation count reflect the quality of my work. So far I have focused on collaborating with other researchers; however, I’m ready for a more comprehensive, data-driven approach that ultimately strengthens my academic reputation.

Here’s what I need:
– A quick audit of my existing Scholar profile to spot gaps in metadata, keywords and paper linking.
– Clear, actionable recommendations on how to position my existing publications for maximum discoverability (conference repositories, pre-print servers, institutional libraries, etc.).
– Hands-on optimisation: from refining titles and abstracts for search visibility to setting up author alerts, ORCID synchronisation and citation tracking tools.
– Outreach tactics that stay within ethical academic norms—think strategic self-archiving, curated topic pages, or targeted sharing in reputable Science & Tech communities.
– A short progress report after implementation showing changes in citation velocity and any further tweaks you recommend.

If you’ve helped other researchers climb the citation charts—whether through Scholar SEO, metadata clean-up, or smart distribution—I’d love to tap into that expertise. Please outline how you would tackle the profile audit and the first set of actions, along with an estimated timeframe for visible impact.
