You're familiar with search engine optimization and how there are a certain set of words that people tend to search with. But when people get to your website, a different set of words become important. These are "customer carewords."

Choosing the right search keywords will bring people to your website, but choosing the right customer carewords will bring them through your website—and complete the sale!

A university wants to attract more people to its executive MBA program. It knows that people search for phrases such as "executive MBAs." But what are the customer carewords once they arrive at the website? Through research, we have found that phrases such as "advance your career" and "prestigious well-recognized degree" really connected with people when they arrived at the website.

Understanding how people search is not enough. To truly make your website excel, you must understand what triggers positive behaviour once they arrive at your website.

If you are a marketing manager or content professional and you want to improve conversion rates, increase inquiries, and enhance customer satisfaction with your website, this virtual seminar is for you. One set of words to bring them to your website. One set of words to bring them through.
