– Search is the gateway to just about everything we do online. If we’re hungry, we turn to a search engine to find the best restaurants and read reviews. If we’re in the market for a product or service, we research it on the web, and with the explosion of mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, we’re no longer limited by where we can search, so people are searching all day every day, but the real question is: will they find you in the search results? That’s what this course is all about. I’m David Booth, founding partner at a digital firm called Cardinal Path, where I’ve been helping organizations all over the world take advantage of this new digital landscape for well over a decade.
