SBC
MEETING JUNE 2009
Surrey-Online,
Online Demo
The University of Surrey at Guildford
was the venue for our June club meeting.
The team behind Surrey-Online (www.surrey-online.co.uk)
returned to give us a live online guide to how
to get the most for our businesses from the Surrey-Online
package that Club members have free of charge
until January 2010.
Paul Cawthorne of P & G Computers
ran the networking session in conjunction with
the enjoyable buffet.
The main presentation was run by
staff from Webskills UK Ltd, who have developed
Surrey-Online. Deryck Svensson introduced the
presentation and then Jamie Stuart gave an overview
of the site.
Stuart Lawrence then showed us
how to set up an account, showing how to select
towns and categories. Jamie then returned to cover
the key elements of setting up your page from
both a potential client and a Google viewpoint.
We then looked at examples of how existing businesses
are using their pages on Surrey-Online to gain
top rankings on Google and the other search engines
and also achieving real enquiries.
Kris Kurzydlo then explained how
the project was developed to interact with Google.
Kris also examined alternative ways in which Club
members with niche services should consider using
the site through their package and the Surrey-Online
business forums using what Kris calls the 'guru'
effect of publishing information as an expert
in their particular field.
A final Q & A session concluded
the evening and we continued to chat and network
over the last of the buffet.
