In-Person & virtual event

You asked, and we’ve answered. Our June WomenRISE is all about The Power of SEO: How to Improve a Website’s Search Rankings with Lissa Duty of Rocks Digital.

In order to get a business found in search results, you must make sure the business is easily findable by search engines. Search engine optimization (SEO) is what makes this possible.

In this presentation, Lissa Duty of Rocks Digital will walk you through how to audit your website and demonstrate how by implementing some key strategies, you can improve a website’s placement in search results almost immediately.

She’ll discuss page titles, meta descriptions, h1s, h2s, call-to-actions and why taking users on a journey through the business’ website is imperative. You’ll get a look at Screaming Frog, SEMRush and Google Search Console.

You’ll walk away with a better understanding of how leveraging these resources can help your website to place higher in search results.
