Being discoverable online isn't just about having a website or posting regularly.

It's about understanding how people search for art, services, and businesses, and how search engines and AI tools find and interpret information.

In this workshop, Jordanne Erichsen will introduce the basics of search visibility and how creative entrepreneurs can apply them across their online presence, from websites and social media to podcasts and other platforms.

Participants will learn how to:
Understand the basics of how search works and what influences visibility.
Identify the keywords and search terms their audiences and customers are actually using.
Apply basic principles of search-optimized content across online platforms.
Improve their visibility in both Google and AI-powered search tools.
Make their online presence easier for audiences and potential customers to find and understand.

Why attend?
Artists and creative entrepreneurs often spend a lot of time creating content without knowing whether the people they want to reach will actually find it. Understanding how search works can help you make more informed choices about what you put online and how you describe your work.

Who should attend?
Emerging artists and creative entrepreneurs who want to better understand how people find them online and learn practical ways to improve their search visibility without needing to become digital marketing experts.
