Chamber U: Online Directory & SEO Training.
The largest component of the CCOC benefit package is the online exposure we provide. Your online directory page can help you if you are a small business, particularly if you do not have a web presence. It can become your one-page website! Or, if you are a larger company and/or already have a website, it can help you with your current search engine optimization (SEO) efforts. The main benefit of our online directory is the number of newcomers and people searching for businesses in this area it receives annually. To make sure you are correctly utilizing this amazing benefit, we will provide you with some simple techniques in this seminar.
Beginning June 2018, these events are presented by CCOC staff/ambassadors and are held the last Thursday of each month from 10am-10:30am right after our monthly orientation seminar at the Clayton Chamber of Commerce, 301 E. Main Street, Clayton, NC 27520. Find one on our calendar here.
