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.
Sign up for this webinar and in just one hour we’ll give you an overview of how Google determines the rankings for sites and how you can use that understanding to improve the search performance of your own site.

Completed the SEO Webinar. which I found to be very informative and easy to follow especially as a non-technical person. I thought it was pitched at the right level of detail and liked that links to further resources were provided if we want to find out more about a particular aspect.
