Announcing Our New Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Training Course
Jul 10 2018
We are VERY excited to share with you the launch of our SEO Training Course. Most businesses recognize the importance of ranking well in search engines and how much traffic can be driven to a website through search. However, many businesses are hesitant to implement search engine optimization because it seems too technical and complicated, they don’t see the value, or worse – they’ve been burned by a so-called “SEO Expert” and spent a lot of money for little results. We created this training course to make SEO easy to understand, and to show you how you can get big results from SEO without the need to learn code or hire an expensive “expert”. We are especially excited that this training is presented by our resident SEO expert Allison Chaney, who has worked with 100’s of clients big and small, producing high ranking websites and big results for almost 20 years.
To be successful online, you need to build SEO into your digital marketing plan. Smart businesses of all industries are using SEO to grow their business and connect with customers. Why?
According to a research study by Forrester, 94% of people use a search engine when making a decision to do business with a company. SEO can get your website in front of your audience when they are searching. Organic search (meaning non-paid search engine rankings) is the single biggest source of traffic to most successful businesses’ websites. Without SEO you could be missing out on reaching a huge segment of your target audience.
While it’s possible to pay for a top ranking in Google, and while this form of advertising is effective, only about 20% of people who view a search engine results page will click the ad, which means 80% of searchers will skip over the ads and click an organic search listing. Even if you have the budget to buy your way to the top, if you don’t rank organically you could be losing 80% of those potential clicks.
Almost half of all search engine traffic goes to the first 3 organic rankings on the results page. How do businesses get to the top of the rankings? Hint: it isn’t luck, it’s SEO!
Just do a search for your target keywords (what you want to rank for in Google). Chances are, you will see your competitors there. This is what your potential customers will see too. Don’t let your competitor win the sale before you even have the chance to get your customers to consider you! If your competition is ranking and you’re not, they are going to get all of that great traffic!
Traffic from organic search has the highest conversion rates compared to any other marketing medium. People are searching for the problem that you solve, which leads to higher conversion rates when your targeted content can be reached by your audience.
When you invest in SEO and implement an ethical, ongoing strategy for optimizing your website and content to rank high in search, your sales and leads will increase.
The reality is that SEO takes time and is an ongoing process rather than a one time fix. Many businesses are intimidated by the thought of implementing SEO because of challenges with editing code or building relevant content or spending hours upon hours seeking quality sites to link back to their website. With an understanding of how SEO works and integrating SEO best practices into an overall digital marketing plan, most businesses can achieve success with a high ROI from SEO.
Our Search Engine Optimization (SEO) training course gives you everything you need to get started with SEO and understand how search marketing works.
You get more than six hours of beginner, strategic, and advanced training, plus downloadable PDF resources to support your implementation.
