Frustrated that your small business website is always below your competitors in search rankings? Not sure what else you can do to your website to improve your online visibility? Join us for our next free small business seminar where we will outline fundamentals of an effective search engine optimization (SEO) strategy for your website. The Formic team will cover fundamentals including content, code and credibility, including case studies and recommended resources. You will leave with specific strategies and tactics you can implement to boost your visibility for target search terms.

08.11 – PPC Fundamentals
In order to generate targeted leads, many small businesses are testing pay-per-click (PPC) advertising. Most companies use Google AdWords to target desirable search terms with specific text advertising, and only pay for each click (rather than impression). PPC advertising can be very cost-effective when managed properly, due to the ability to target keywords, specific geo-locations, messaging and landing pages. Unfortunately, many small businesses do not have the time or resources to effectively manage PPC campaigns, which can lead to very costly mistakes. The Formic team will walk you through PPC campaign research, planning, implementation and management. You will leave this seminar with sufficient knowledge of how to optimize your existing PPC campaigns or create a new campaign from scratch.
