Contrary to common knowledge, the ‘art of SEO’ is not defined by your ability to write code or hack Google’s algorithm. The truth is that today, online success has more to do with your ability to create amazing content, establish a strong social media presence, and build relationships with bloggers than writing lines of code or stuffing keywords into your meta data.
SEO Like I’m 5 takes you through an action-oriented, workshop-style, pain-free process to plan, build, and optimize your online presence, including:
– Where to start
– Which free platforms and tools to use
– How to build a search-friendly website
– How to build a killer content strategy
– How to become a rockstar blogger
– How to find the golden-nugget keyword opportunities
– How to monetize your website
– How to attract backlinks to your content
– How to build relationships with bloggers and influencers
– How to build a winning social media strategy
