What Does the role of "Googling" Play in Your 2010 Marketing Plan?
 |
Have you ever wondered why some agent websites show up on page one of Google, while your site is somewhere on page 3?
Do you have a "search strategy" so new customers and your existing clients can't find you?
We are so excited to announce that Vanessa Fox, a Cyber Space Visionary will be one of Real Estate Connect NYC's keynote speakers. Vanessa was recently named one of Seattle's 2008 top 25 innovators and entrepreneurs.
Vanessa says, "Search has changed everything. Search has become woven into our everyday lives, and permeates offline as well as online activities. Every business should have a search strategy... A business's search strategy can have a dramatic impact on how consumers interact with that business."
Vanessa joined Google in 2005 and became Google's search engine strategy spokesperson and creator of Google Webmaster Central. Vanessa left Google in June 2007 to work for Zillow.com.
Currently, you can find Vanessa at Jane and Robot, Nine By Blue, and Ignition Partners. She is a prominent technology blogger and a frequent industry speaker. Look for her book Marketing in the Age of Google in early 2010.
Vanessa is just one of the speakers you will meet during the Internet Marketing Summit at Real Estate Connect NYC. Follow Vanessa on Twitter @vanessafox and meet her at Real Estate Connect!
Don't miss out. Make 2010 the year you take your online marketing to the next level.
