SEO & Analytics for Site Design

Event Date

January 17, 2012, 9:00 pm - January 18, 2012, 12:00 am

About the Event

SEMPO Canada Vancouver’s first meetup of 2012 is titled, Measure Twice, Cut Once: SEO and Analytics Guidelines for Site Design. Presented by Guacira Naves, owner of The Online Strategy House, this will be a helpful session for anyone planning a site design or redesign this year.

From SEMPO Vancouver’s meetup page:

Designing a new site or revamping an existing one can both present SEO practitioners with fantastic opportunities to initiate optimization at the best possible time: during the planning stage.

When consulting on the development of a new site, there are myriad guidelines that must be top of mind during the conception phase. If a site redesign is what you’re involved with, you must watch out for several critical issues to ensure that search engine visibility is preserved.

Attend this presentation and gain a comprehensive view of procedures that will benefit you in both scenarios. In addition, see how analytics can be your ally in these situation, and how trends in Web design are influencing search engine visibility.
