12. Where to Begin with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in 2021 with Chris Dreyer

                 

When it comes to search engine optimization for a new or existing website, some businesses can be intimidated due to the amount of information out there. And often, they won’t have the help of an experienced in-house SEO marketer or consultant, so they end up doing nothing.

Today, we’re going to look at some easy things you can do to start your website’s SEO on the right foot – even if you can’t hire a professional to help you out. My guest, Chris Dreyer from Rankings.io, helps personal injury attorneys dominate the first page of search engine results. He joins me and breaks down where to start, what to focus on, and what to avoid when it comes to your SEO (search engine optimization) strategy.

This is something every business with a website needs to pay attention to because it can completely change your business if done correctly. Google and other search engines reward sites that get this right with more traffic from your ideal prospect. There’s definitely some work that needs to go into it, just like any marketing strategy, but I believe wholeheartedly that it’s totally worth it. Listen in today! ~Pia
