CHICAGO, IL, August 21, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Search Engine Optimization experts from Brick Marketing will be hosting full-day SEO Training Classes in Chicago, Illinois.

President and Founder of Brick Marketing, Nick Stamoulis, developed the Brick Marketing SEO workshops as a way to assist marketing professionals and small business owners who are responsible for their own Search Engine Optimization.
