Search Engine Academy Selects Livermore

Jan. 8, 2009 - PRLog -- Individuals and businesses interested in “dominating” Google search listings have a new local educational resource.

Search Engine Academy founders Robin Nobles and John Alexander have asked Web and usability expert Thomas W. Petty to head up their newest center, located in Livermore. “This hub will serve those who want to learn search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM) in their local area, namely the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento," said Petty, fresh off an area seminar titled, “Nine Free Ways to Dominate Google.”

The Search Engine Academy team cited a business-friendly city, a location central to the Bay Area and Sacramento and intangibles such as a strong technology sector locale and one of the area's fastest growing Chambers of Commerce as the reasons for choosing Livermore.

The Bay Area Search Engine Academy wasted no time scheduling area classes ranging from basic to master-level SEO workshops, which begin as early as Jan. 12.

The upcoming classes will be as follows:
SEO Essentials - January 12-13, 8-5:30 p.m.
SEO Advanced - January 14-16, 8-5:30 p.m.
SEO Master - January 12-16, 8-5:30 p.m.
