‘How do we get to page 1 on Google?’

Proper Search Engine Optimization (SEO) & luck.

In its early stages, SEO was a bit of a mystery for most, which resulted in a lot of shady (Black Hat) practices. Today, there is a much greater understanding of the science behind proper (White Hat) SEO.

This means just about every one of your major competitors also knows the keys to proper SEO, and you have even stiffer competition for that top spot on page one. To be successful you need to exploit every possible facet of SEO to ensure you come out on top.

One key piece of SEO that most fail to properly tap into is social media. Through well planned out content creation and keyword focus, you can use social media as both a real-time tool to converse with you customers and as a major contributor to your SEO efforts.

Google now allows users to search strictly on social platforms, and recently announced that they would start incorporating social content into more of the top organic pages that are returned.

Presenters: Jeremy Smith (LinkedIn profile), ASPE-ROI Instructor and Social Media Authority, and JT Moore (LinkedIn profile), Director of Marketing will show you how to leverage social media in your search engine optimization (SEO) efforts.
