“Google it.”

You’ve said it.    

You’ve done it.    

And now you can learn more about why “Just Googling it” is critical for the growth of your business.

Whatever you type in a Google search bar dictates the results you will be delivered. When people are searching for products or services that your company offers, don’t you want to appear at the top of their search results?

SEO makes this happen and it doesn’t cost a thing to optimize your website. You just have to know Google’s criteria for ranking high so your business can be found… and found first – before your competitors.  

Bring a brown bag lunch and join us on May 24th at noon for the Marketing & Media workshop on Search Engine Optimization, hosted by our partners at D3.

Space is limited and advance registration is required.
