Course Title W133: Understanding Search & Why Your Organization’s Future Relies on It
Date and Time: Wednesday, January 13, 2020 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (EASTERN TIME)
Description When organizations think of Search, they usually assume the
conversation is about Google. While that’s part of the picture, there
is so much more. Over 50% of users immediately navigate to the
search bar of any website they visit. For associations, a great
search experience is critical because of the amount of content that
they have, usually across multiple websites and web platforms.
Our session will focus on all aspects of search including:

  • Off-site search – SEO and Google searching
  • On-site search – Federated searching of all of your organization’s web platforms
  • Reputation Management
  • Paid Search
