SEO: It’s Not Hard. It’s Not Easy.

As business owners, we are often barraged by email offers to get our websites to the top of Google, Yahoo and Bing (among other offers for things we won’t mention here).  Even if the offers are obviously spammy, it still gets us thinking about the possibilities.

What if your website was #1 on Google for your service in Saint Louis?

What if your product was #1 on Yahoo for something that you could ship anywhere?

What if your website was sending you leads that turned into numerous new customers?

Sounds good, no wait – it sounds great! But is it possible?

Getting your website climb to the top of the search engines for different phrases isn’t that hard.  Now, by saying that, I don’t mean it’s easy either. It’s  time consuming and tedious work, but the payoffs are worth it.

What’s even better is that just a few small tweaks can set the entire process in motion.  Adjusting title tags and modifying your keyword density will get the ball rolling to better rankings.

But just what do you have to do to get that ball rolling? What steps can you take to start your business to more web traffic and online revenue?

Our panel of speakers will help you sort through the time-waster ideas and give you solid tips that will set you on the road to online success. Our wide variety of sessions will show you how to hone in on those paying and converting leads, and how to tweak and change your website so that the search engines fall in love with your business.

All these tips, six informative sessions, the Q&A expert panel, freebies and more for just $149 bucks.  It’ll be the best business investment you’ll make this year.

Speaker Interview: David Ogletree

David Ogletree will be speaking at the upcoming Look at Me seminar about Search Engine Friendly Web Design. We sat down with David and asked him some questions about his presentation, along with a few about what he’s been up to lately.

I see you are speaking on search engine friendly web design. Why do you think this is an important topic for businesses in St Louis?

If you want increase sales from search engine searchers you need to make sure your website can be found in search engines. Most web developers are only concerned about how the website looks and not how a search engine looks at it. When you make a search engine friendly website you have a better chance of ranking at the top. It is not uncommon to be in a 3-way battle for the top spot. You may all be going after the same links. In this case the site that has better on page optimization will rank the highest.

My cousin’s girlfriend built my business website for a few hundred bucks. Is spending thousands of dollars on a SE-friendly website really worth it?
