Course Overview

SEO Course (Search Engine Optimization) helps you to improve the your website ranking for Google search, Bing and other searches.

In simple terms, it means the process of improving your site to increase its organic ranking when people search for products or services related to your business in Google, Bing, and other search engines. The better visibility your pages have in search results, the more likely you are to garner attention and attract prospective and existing customers to your business.

Google is the most popular search engine and is often the first option consumers research to purchase a product or service. Users trust search engines, and with a higher search ranking on Google, there is also a higher probability of your website generating more traffic. Do you know how Google determines the search ranking results on its platform and how you can get your website to rank better?

In this comprehensive 2.5 days  course, we’ll teach you how to conduct an  SEO  audit  on your website to identify areas of improvement, as well as how to perform keyword research to identify search phrases with high demand you can optimise for.

You’ll learn  more  about  how  to set  up  your  website with best  SEO  practices like appropriate title tags, domain URLs and meta descriptions, as well as how to implement effective link building strategies to improve your website’s authority  ranking.

When  you  know  how  to set  up  SEO  on  your  web  pages, you’ll be  in a  better  position  to analyse SEO performance using metrics like bounce rate and keyword rankings, as well as use free tools like SimilarWeb to conduct competitor analysis and consistently improve your organic traffic over time.
