ASU - Jonesboro:  ASU SBTDC seminar to focus on "Search Engine Optimization" for

business growth

JONESBORO -- The Arkansas State University Small Business and Technology

Development Center (SBTDC) and the Mountain Home and Norfork Lake Chambers of

Commerce will offer a seminar on "Search Engine Optimization for Small Businesses"

at the Baxter County Library in Mountain Home, Tuesday, March 22. The seminar will

run from 1-4 p.m.

    Seminar instructor, Christi Wharton of Wharton Website Design and Marketing, will

walk attendees through the basics of improving searches for websites, social media

sites and other online marketing.

"Customers are searching for information about you, your business, your product and

service online every day." said Herb Lawrence, ASU SBTDC director.  "The real question

is whether your online sites or your competition will be provided through search

engines.

"This workshop introduces attendees to the basics of optimizing their sites for search.

It is definitely created for the busy small business owner, especially those without a lot

of online marketing experience.  Understanding how to optimize your sites will improve

your ability to be found online and convert more visitors into leads for your business."

Cost is $35 per person, $25 for Mountain Home area residents and Norfork Lake

Chamber members, and $20 for ASU-Mountain Home faculty, staff and students.
