Every website owner wants to get the traffic they deserve from search engines. The tools and techniques to optimize a site for search engines can seem intimidating, even if it’s too important to ignore. Knowing where to begin is a big part of the battle.
DFWSEM is going to help by taking us back to the basics of SEO in our next meeting.
This meeting will cover the fundamentals of search engine optimization. Even if you don’t know an H1 tag from your robots.txt before the meeting, you’ll leave with enough practical advice to improve your site.
