Event description

Did you toss a few words out on your website and hope they were the right ones for your industry and your audience? Perhaps your landing page is merely pretty images and fancy flash animation. Or maybe you spent several thousand dollars on your website designer and still have no clue why your website traffic is so low. It does NOT have to be that way!

Keyword research is the most effective and least expensive research you can perform to understand the mind of your local customers. This workshop will explore the importance of keyword research to reach your target audience. It will also provide you with concrete ways to integrate those keywords in both your website and your local listing so you can optimize your web presence.

Leave this workshop with a better understanding of how keywords work for you and with a viable plan to implement better keywords on your website today.

NOTE: Bring a laptop if you want to "play" along. Nothing beats hands on learning! Laptops NOT required but useful.

    Ohhhh...the long awaited keywords workshop. I am really looking forward to this event. As a Life Coach I have been struggling with finding the perfect keyword as "Life Coach" is a lost key word. Thank you for putting this event together and sharing your wisdom.

    Hi Shannon and Richard,

    You always have the best events.

    I would love to be there but the logistics of the other two events that day will prohibit me from making it.

    I will definitely be at the next one.

    Have a great week, Allen

    Sorry to cancel. My allergies are really bad today-I feel like I have a Sponge Bob Square pants head.

    Take some Zyrtec for the allergies --- it works great and is otc now :) I take it every day during this season. Benedryl also helps if you don't have to drive ;)

    Fantastic event! I have a "basic" understanding of HTML and SEO, but this was a great lesson. Recommend for everyone if you are interested in learning how to get your site "up" in the Google list.

    Look forward to the next one! Thanks a bunch Shannon and Rich.

    Holy Mackerel! I'm telling you this class was filled with so much useful information. These two know their stuff. I walked away with a list of things that I could easily do to help with my online presence. If you ever get a chance to attend one of their events - don't miss it!

    Thanks Shannon and Richard - you ROCK!
