Don’t be a Google fool!

Google is now one of the world’s best known brands, and has become Hoover has to vacuum cleaners and JCBs to diggers.

To help demystify some of the considerations of the ranking system and most importantly, to explain what you should and shouldn’t be doing, Red Koala are holding a half-day seminar on the 1st of April for senior managers in any business sector.

There has never been a more important time to ensure that your organization is ranked prominently for search terms relating to your business and the best way to do this is to put your users and their requirements first. This seminar will show you how to do that and what shortcuts and cheats to avoid in order to avoid being removed from Google altogether.

The seminar runs between 9:30am and 1pm at the Holiday Inn, Kirkstall Road, Leeds, and costs £25 + VAT and includes a buffet lunch.

To book your place please contact Mike Osolinski at Red Koala on 0845 279 9815 or email mike@red-koala.co.uk
