The Chamber's free monthly Small Business Roundtable is an important educational and networking opportunity for small businesses.

The forum is applicable to a variety of businesses and employee levels, from front-line customer service to owners.

This Month's Topic: How to Get More Local Leads From Google Without Paying for Ads

Description

Presented by Ex Pow-anpongkul of Arlington Buyback, this session introduces a practical SEO system for finding the exact words potential customers are already using on Google and turning those searches into focused web pages that can generate leads. You do not need to blog every week or compete for the biggest search terms in your industry. You’ll see how to find overlooked opportunities, avoid wasting time on broad and highly competitive topics, and decide which searches are actually worth building a page around. From there, you’ll learn the basics of creating or improving a page so it better matches what potential customers are looking for. Attendees will follow a simple checklist and have time to ask questions about applying these methods to their own business.

Agenda

11:55 a.m.: Zoom Room Opens
12:00 - 1:00 p.m.: Presentation

Zoom Details

Attendees will receive a Zoom meeting link in their registration confirmation email.
