Easy-to-apply SEO Tips and Tricks to Make Google Love Your Website or Blog

This is a two-part workshop – you’ll need to commit to attending both sessions that will take place on the same day (morning and afternoon session)

This course is part of the London Community Covid-19 Response Fund – Project

On-page Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the practice of slightly altering the content of your web pages or blog posts so that they appear higher in the free / organic Google search engine rankings. This will increase the quantity and quality of your traffic and in turn improve your profits.

SEO is an on-going, long-term marketing strategy, not a quick fix. You won’t get to page one of Google overnight. However, our experienced SEO specialist Mike Loomey will clearly explain the process and deliver this talk in an easy-to-understand, layman’s language, without any unnecessary technical jargon.

When: Thursday 11th February 2021

This is a 4-hour workshop separated into 2 sessions running on the same day. Registrants are strongly encouraged to attend both sessions to get the most out of this workshop.

Session 1, 10am – 12pm

In the morning session, you will learn:

  • How to conduct invaluable keyword research to improve your search engine ranking results
  • Why you need to have quality backlinks pointing back to your website
  • Why having a fast, mobile-friendly, responsive website design really matters

Session 2, 2pm – 4pm

In the afternoon session, Mike will demonstrate in detail some of the best free and low-cost SEO tools to help you on your journey towards page one of Google:

  • How to interpret a curiously-named free SEO analysis tool called “Screaming Frog”
  • Demystifying Google Search Console and how to use it to improve the rankings for every page and every keyword on your website
  • A detailed walkthrough of the Yoast SEO plug-in for WordPress and how to use it to improve your SEO (without needing to learn a single line of code)
  • A look into the future of SEO and at Google’s biggest Search Engine Algorithm change for years: their “Page Experience Update” due to launch around May 2021. Discover the steps you need to take now to leave your competition in the dust!

    Mike Loomey

    When I was made redundant from an “Accounts Office Manager” position in 1986, I vowed never to let that happen again and became self-employed.

    I teamed up with a friend, Graham Reece to run Stargazer Discos, a fledgling entertainment agency . Within a matter of months, using my managerial and promotional skills, the company had expanded from just one DJ on its “books” (Graham) to around 30. Shortly afterwards, Graham died unexpectedly, leaving me to run the company on my own.

    Most of our work came from recommendations but we attracted a huge quantity of enquiries from carefully worded, strategically placed ads in Yellow Pages. Eventually however Yellow Pages dominance of the advertising industry faded, to be replaced by the internet.

    Starting in around 2008, I became passionately interested in the process of on-line marketing or S.E.O. (Search Engine Optimisation). I took course after course and devoured any books and info I could find about the process.

    Having successfully applied various SEO strategies to my own very basic website, I took my digital skills to the next level by learning HTML, CSS, Dreamweaver and Photoshop.. Many friends and former DJ employees, were impressed with my designs and my ability to get high search engine ranking positions on Google. Several contracted me to design and optimise sites for them. This lead to more offers of work and 3 in 1 Web Design was born.
