January 23: Paul Brown (our Regional VP): Classic Pianos -- "Web Accessibility and Search Engine Optimization" Piano tuners want their businesses to display as high as
possible in search engine rankings. Customers on the other hand want to find
piano technicians that are close by with websites that are easy to navigate,
well organized and accessible to all users. Paul is an internet developer and
will provide some simple suggestions on how to enhance the visibility of your
business on the world wide web. |
