Reach more customers online – SEO for the High Street

Please Note – this webinar is for Chesterfield based retail businesses

Are you keen to learn more about SEO for high street businesses? Would you like to improve your chances of being found in a search engine by customers nearby? If you would, join this webinar to help you get started.

All search engines have features integrated to improve the experience of users who are searching for a business nearby, or in a particular location. The most well-known of these is Google My Business, a free and easy-to-use tool for businesses to manage their online presence across Google, including Search and Maps. Ranking well in these local search results requires a combination of standard SEO and tactics that are specific to this type of localisation.

This webinar will cover aspects of local SEO, from Google My Business listing optimisation, getting local citations and encouraging customer reviews to essential website features for local optimisation.
