Basics of search engine optimisation for small businesses
Tuesday 23rd February 2021
From 15:00, to 16:00
Venue: online webinar
Book your place on this training webinar to learn more about the basics of search engine optimisation (SEO) for small businesses.
Most small businesses are approached regularly by companies offering to help you appear higher in Google’s search results. Often they present SEO as a highly complex, technical process that requires a great deal of specialist knowledge, but in fact there are simple steps you can take to significantly improve the search ranking of your site yourself. Even if you decide not to do the work yourself, it’s useful to have an understanding of how SEO works when you’re dealing with SEO companies.
