Increasing Sales Through Search Engines

Duration
1 day

Course Objectives
Many web sites are visually attractive but have limited success in attracting new visitors - how do you position your web site at the top of the major search engines?

Customers using search engines are ready to buy, so search engine optimisation is a fantastic opportunity for you to increase sales. And the cost of optimising your site doesn't need to be high.

This course has been designed to help you achieve better rankings in search engine results pages. You will gain a detailed understanding of how modern search engines and directories function. There is a clear focus on how to work with current technology to produce the best results whilst avoiding methods that may get your site blacklisted.
