On October 3rd we held our monthly meeting at Calypsos. I know I know, it’s been two weeks and I am just now giving everyone an update….
As outlined in this blog earlier, Ed Reese from SixthManMarketing presented on search engine optimization. The presentation was outstanding and as you can see from our picture below, everyone was glued to each new bit of information shared.
This was our best attended meeting as of yet with just about 20 people filling the conference room for an early morning meeting. We actually didn’t do our hot seats during this meeting as the information we got from Ed was so valuable I don’t think anyone wanted him to stop.
Ed walked the group through an introduction of SEO:
- Definition vs Common Perceptions
- Organic Search vs Paid Search
- Why do we care?
- The three legged stool of search (technical, content and trust)
- The different types of organic search
- Local search tips
- Tools and resources
It was a great presentation and provided many of the attendees with some great things to get started on right away. Ed really raised the bar for our presenters by not only bringing in a great presentation on our projector but also providing handouts. I think the next presenter will have to bring in a dancing monkey to compete. 
We are still looking for a presenter for our November meeting. If you have an idea please let us know. You definitely want to attend these meetings where you get to meet, network and learn from companies like:
- DirtyBlueMedia
- Hog Advertising
- Keller Williams
- Whitestone Design Works
- Boeing
- Converseon
- Camp Mivoden
- Antal Consulting
- Convertech Solutions and more!
