Find  Your Customers, Competitors & Company Using Google Searchs
Thursday, May 17, 20
12 - 10:15 - 11:15 am

Google SearchWhat made Google great was a simple algorithm (that looks complex!) that allowed websites to be democratically filtered to help people find the most relevant information in the shortest am 
ount of time. Not being visual designers, Google's first website was a simple design and it's pretty much stayed that way with good reason; their ultimate strength is definitely function (your target audience's search intent) over form.

Today, every small business owner has a plethora of marketing research data about their target audience, their industry, their competition, themselves, their staff and their companies at their fingertips. In this Webinar, W3 Consulting will present an overview of the basic to some advanced Google Search functions for finding marketing information on the Web. Following the overview, we'll have a Q&A session with our favorite Google-ologist and the presenter, Ray Sidney-Smith.

The program begins at 10:15 AM ET sharp, so please arrive at least 15 minutes early to manage any technical issues before the Webinar begins.
