What will you learn in SEO courses

The training usually covers mostly on-page tactics. You are given specific and easy to implement on-page tips to increase the organic rankings. Practical samples of the attendees websites can be used – showing what’s wrong and how to fix it.

Training courses sometimes goes into off-page optimization too, but this is mostly on a theoretical level, as off-page SEO training is highly complex and is changing too rapidly to give a small business owner the ROI he demands from training courses.

What exactly to expect from an SEO training?

First of all, SEO training is targeted at improving your website so that you can be better found on Google. Now this does not mean that you will instantly pop up on competitive keywords.

Ranking on Google is a complex process that can also be quite lengthy – depending on the competitiveness of the keyword. The training will cover this, so you can judge the proposals from SEO agencies better.
