Hi,
I noticed the course you will be giving but at the same time it seems that your company does not appear in the first 2 pages of google results when searching for SEO consultants in Israel?
If you’re teaching SEO why doesen’t your website appear as prominantly as it should?
Hi Laura,
That is indeed an excellent question.
The main reason is that my target market has never been Israel-based (although I do have Israeli clients).
The second reason is as they say “the shoemaker goes barefoot” – as a small business that receives most clients from word of mouth or from business alliances, I haven’t had the time or need to promote my own site.
The fact that you took the time to search, and didn’t find me, just shows that it is sometimes easier to help people do the right thing, whilst not actually doing it oneself. And thanks to you, I will add myself as a client, and do just that.
Best regards
Debi
