There are sites that offer free "SEO Audits" that identify a few of the glaring problems with your site, but comparing those to a professional SEO Audit is like comparing Wix to WordPress.

The SEO audit is the first step in a long-term SEO campaign. It identifies what's working, what's not, and where the site's SEO can be improved.

In this presentation, John Locke, SEO consultant at Lockedown Design & SEO, will walk through how he does in-depth SEO audits for clients.

Some things he'll cover in this special session:

- What things he looks for when it comes to increasing rankings
- How content is arguable the most important factor in rankings
- Why your link profile is still important to Google
- Looking for patterns is necessary for improving SEO
- How building your brand will help your SEO
- User experience is the most overlooked factor in SEO
- Why you need to monitor your information on other sites
- How reviews and reputation directly affect your search rankings
- What factors you should address first if you're starting from zero

Be prepared to take notes: this is an information-packed session!

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
