SEO Expert Will Talk Strategies in Kansas City

Sponsored by Flower Shop Network and Baisch & Skinner, SAF’s 1-Day Profit Blast in Kansas City features Renato Cruz Sogueco, AAF, PFCI, of Floriology powered by BloomNet, who will present “Digital Strategies that Drive Everyday Business” sponsored by Floriology.

Type “flowers” or “florist” into your browser’s search bar and millions of pages return results. How do you get your website to stand out?

Renato Cruz Sogueco, AAF, PFCI, is adamant that good search engine optimization (SEO) is the way for smart florists to make their sites stand out with a big return on investment for your time and effort. Sogueco, Bloomnet’s vice president of digital strategy and education, will talk SEO during his presentation “Digital Strategies that Drive Everyday Business,” at the Society of American Florists’ 1-Day Profit Blast sponsored by Flower Shop Network and Baisch & Skinner on July 21 in Kansas City.

“You have to know the questions the consumer is asking in and around flowers,” Sogueco said. “There are couple of useful websites we’ll share during the session that reveal the most search terms and questions in around ‘flowers’ or ‘florist.’ You then can include many of these terms within you website so your website comes up higher in searches.”

Sogueco, whose session is sponsored by Floriology powered by BloomNet, will walk attendees through what it means to improve your website’s search engine rankings and also what consumers are thinking as they search for a florist.
