March 21, 2012 - PRLog -- A senior executive from Google’s UK operation will discuss strategies for search engine optimisation (SEO) and exploiting Google+ at a major conference on digital marketing taking place in Leeds next month.

Matt Bush manages advertising agency relationships across all Google products including search, YouTube, Google+, mobile and display. He also works closely with brands such as Procter & Gamble, O2 and Toyota, helping them to maximise their value in the digital space.

Mr Bush will join 21 other speakers at the ionSearch event at the Carriageworks on 18 April such as Martin MacDonald, SEO strategy director at online travel site Expedia and Lee Odden, CEO at TopRank Online Marketing.

ionSearch has been created by Blueclaw Media in Leeds. Fergus Clawson, MD said: “Leeds has become a hot bed for SEO with a thriving digital community despite the gloomy economic outlook. We have created ionSearch for anyone passionate about search marketing and for those who want to create a strong web presence for their business and clients.”

The event will also feature speakers from the United States including Florida-based Dave Snyder, CEO of Steelcast.

The organisers are especially pleased to have a true pioneer in the digital industry from Belgium. Ralph Tagtmeier (aka Fantomaster) has been active in website development and web marketing since 1994.

The local digital marketing sector will be represented by Alex Craven, MD of Leeds-based Bloom, James Holmes, paid search director at Blueclaw plus PCC and social media experts at specialist agencies Stickyeyes and Home James.
