HORWICH-based Webshak is to hold a free search engine seminar which designed to show local companies how to market websites more effectively and generate new sales leads.

It will be run in conjunction with Bolton and Bury Chamber of Commerce at 10.30am on Friday, February 21, at Commerce House in Bridgeman Place.

Webshak is enjoying success with its "pronto" system which puts individual companies on the first page of sites, making positive responses more likely.

Media director Barry Lee said: "More and more local businesses are using the pronto solution to generate sales in times of increased competition."

Because of demand, Webshak was also offering free individual consultations three afternoons per week for local businesses who needed to generate more sales. Tel: 01204 696995.
