Details

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of analyzing your site and modifying it to enable search engines to read it, understand it and index (or catalog) it correctly. This is not rewriting the site or changing the look and feel. It is subtle changes, adding or modifying inconspicuous visible and invisible text so that the search engines can read the site. SEO is not 'spamming' the search engines - it is simply helping the search engines help you.

This course will enable you to make your website more search engine compatible, optimized effectively, to attract the target audience via search engines and improve your overall rankings on search engines.

We would want to discuss what your core needs are so that we cover those aspects. You need to have paid for 3 delegates at least.
