MoreVisibilitys EVP Danielle Leitch a Featured Speaker at the 2012 Annual Internet Retailer Conference and Exhibition


Boca Raton, Florida (PRWEB) July 06, 2012

MoreVisibility, a six-time Inc. 500/5000 recipient and one of the worlds most experienced search engine marketing and optimization (SEM/SEO) agencies, reaffirmed its priority to educate businesses on the importance of SEO when Danielle Leitch, More Visibilitys EVP, spoke at the 2012 Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition in Chicago.

During the conference, Leitch spoke about SEO best practices in an interactive session focused on live website critiques. She reviewed websites volunteered for critique by conference attendees. During each review, Leitch offered constructive criticism and shared some SEO best practices also known as white hat practices and illustrated how companies can implement best practices while keeping an eye on usability.

But creating a website thats optimized for both search engines and users continues to be a big challenge for e-retailers.

Striking a balance between SEO and usability is so important, Leitch explains. Many businesses struggle with ensuring their sites are SEO optimized and user friendly its a problem we work with clients on all the time.

Leitch wasnt surprised to find that a variety of sites both large retail sites and small mom-and-pop sites had the same problems. Common errors included a lack of content, duplicate content, improper keyword targeting, technical and architectural issues, and overall site usability challenges.

No matter who you are, or what you sell, she says, the basics of SEO are always the same.

And in an ever-changing landscape, theyre more important than ever.

Because of seismic changes in the nature of search most notably Google’s Penguin update its more important than ever that marketers understand and implement white hat practices. This is why were so committed to making ourselves available to the online community and have been for many years.

Because, Leitch says, If you understand and implement best practices, these types of changes wont impact you.
