NB - This is an interactive masterclass where participation from delegates is expected and will be delivered using Zoom video conferencing. 

If you want to outrank your competitors and get more free traffic from Google, this is the masterclass for you! From choosing the right target keywords to getting other websites to link to yours, you will learn all about search engine optimisation (SEO) and how to use the techniques on your own site.

Successful SEO is achieved by optimising for all of Google’s ranking factors and this masterclass covers the full spectrum. It explains how search engines work, the important elements of a web page for optimisation, the technical factors that affect ranking, how to write content for search engines and how to get the all-important links back to your site from others.

Session 1 – Thursday 5th November (10:00 – 11:30):  Explores the workings of search engines, technical elements of a website that can affect performance, how to add extra information to pages to help search engines and how to check on performance using Google Search Console. As a result, you will understand how to structure your website and evaluate the reports in Search Console to drive further optimisation.

Session 2 – Thursday 12th November (10:00 – 11:30):  Continues with a guide to keyword research and how to use that information to formulate a content plan to expand the information available on your site. It also explains the best ways to write and structure content to be understood by search engines, so that you can optimise your pages to rank for the right keywords.

Session 3 – Thursday 19th November (10:00 – 11:30):  Looks at the importance of links and how to get other sites to link to yours. It also examines local search results, showing how to optimise your Google My Business listing and the other factors that determine rankings in the Google Maps search results we often see when searching for local businesses.

Session 4:  After you have completed the three interactive sessions you will be entitled to a 1:1 session with the presenter who will review your activity and provide feedback bespoke to your business.
