Turkey lessons about optimizing your pet website for SEO, visitors — Turkey lessons about optimizing your pet website images

Everyone I’ve shown this to gets a big kick out of it, so I thought I’d share it with you.

If you’re in charge of marketing a local pet business or veterinary hospital that serves a specific community, I have a question for you.

The physical address
The towns or region they serve
Driving directions and a map

If this sounds like you – we can fix this problem immediately! 🙂

Woo hoo! Today I celebrate my 1-year anniversary as a pet-industry copywriter focused on businesses that serve consumers and B2B customers.

Since embarking on this path last June, I’ve enjoyed writing web content, mobile apps and other marketing materials for a wide range of exciting pet businesses including MyPetED.com, Ben’s Bark Avenue Bistro, Pawsitive Perks, EPO-Equine, and several others.

Now to the main point of this post. I’m celebrating my 1-year anniversary with you and giving you a reason to consider doing business with me (see below). You can do the same thing for your business.
