TPP Law launches Legal News Podcast LawTalk


Specialist public services law firm TPP Law has today launched LawTalk™ a legal news podcast service covering news, views and features on outsourcing and partnerships in public services.
Says Mark Johnson, Managing Director, “Our clients and contacts were telling us they wanted to receive relevant and timely information from us in new ways, harnessing the power of digital and social media.

“Our lively and upbeat fortnightly 20-minute podcast will include an in-depth feature on a topical area of public services, an interview with an industry insider, as well as a round-up of other news stories. Our first programme focuses on the conversion of schools into academies and the launch of free schools.”

EOCosmo.com Seminar: The Advantages of Local SEO


SEOCosmo.com held a seminar where their experts talked about the advantages offered by local SEO.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) January 29, 2013
With the latest estimation of 466 billion active websites, it is easy to say that the Internet has grown into a very large place. This also means that there is an increased number of competing websites in terms of search engine optimization. This is one of the reasons why SEOCosmo.com decided to hold a seminar on how local SEO can help to avoid competing with businesses that exist outside of the country, state, or town.
SEOCosmo.com is one of the trustworthy SEO companies dedicated to providing complete SEO services. The company has already successfully ranked a number of small, medium and large businesses, and they are also proud to express 100% customer satisfaction, which puts them right on top.
One of the company’s experts made a comment right before the seminar had started:
“Businesses around the world can benefit the most by running their local SEO campaigns first. These campaigns specifically blossom when there are services or goods that cannot be shipped to the user’s house by mail. These things include goods like furniture and services like appliance repair, which are great examples of things for which people might actually leave their home to buy after finding them through a local search. This seminar has explained some of the basic things that every business owner should know about. Another thing is that local SEO, aside from attracting local search traffic, also has some other key advantages. Local SEO is able to bring authenticity and an audience of people who are a bit more likely to purchase services or products directly to a website.”
SEOCosmo.com has also announced another seminar for young entrepreneurs that will talk about the importance of using local SEO in their marketing campaigns.
