Search Engine Optimization 101: a practical introduction to SEO


  • Fábrica de Startups Rua Rodrigo da Fonseca 11 Lisboa, Lisboa Portugal (map)

OVERVIEW

Search Engine Optimization has often been referred to as magic, a hoax or even dead. But a good growth strategy views SEO (Search Engine Optimization) as the Wizard in creating a sustainable strategy - which involves retention efforts, capturing media spending and building better content.

SEO is no longer only focused on keywords and text formatting. Those are necessary for sure, but the approach in mind should be more aligned with a Marketer + Growth Hacker mindset, with emphasis on becoming a mixture of an Information Architect + Developer + Conversion Rate Optimizer, instead of only an SEO copywriter or “old-school” Search Engine Optimizer.

Targeted at people who want to generate more traffic to their site, as well as those that are not converting traffic into leads or sales, attendees will learn how to create a cohesive and sustainable online presence.
