SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION FOR NON-TECHIES
Every day we hear how important it is to make sure we are found online. Agents are willing to do what they can to increase their ranking online, but there are very few down-to-earth resources to help. This program is a basic orientation to search engine optimization – what’s important and what isn’t. Content is king, but if no one can find your content – what does it matter?
