Great course, very informative!! I can tell the classes are starting to be structured differently though. Not too much meat to this first course... reserving my opinion, until I go through a few more.
por KSOct 2, 2019
I found this intro course to be more intense and simultaneously more valuable than I expected it to be. I've already gained new insight and learned techniques I can put into practice now. Brilliant.

Very informative introductory course! Gives an individual basic idea of what SEO is, how it has developed over the years and the exciting direction it is heading towards. I definitely enjoyed it!

Great introduction to SEO - eager to test the most advanced courses to get more insight on how to apply technical changes that will improve the user experience and page search results rankings.
por SGJul 23, 2019
This course is amazing. As a course name gives you an idea about its topic it's just an introduction of SEO. But it is very important for everyone who wants to do SEO for his/her website/blog.
por DMApr 25, 2016
Great introductory course to SEO. The content is brilliant and the lecturer is clear. It would be good if there would be a teaching stuff to assist the students in their threads in the forums.
por JAJan 1, 2019
As an SEO practitioner, this course articulated and validated many of the principles and strategies I have been using. Learning them gave me confidence that I am headed in the right direction.
por MDSep 30, 2019
The course has given a detailed idea about what SEO is and how it has evolved over the years however I am expecting a more hands on practice season which was not included in this basic course.
por YLSep 5, 2017
This SEO concept is very new to me, and I find it helpful after going through the modules.\n\nThe outside links are interesting as well. I just think you can dive more deeply into some topics.
por NBAug 22, 2017
Good course to get an overview of what SEO is all about. It will also help you get an insight on whether the area is of any interest to you or not. Must do for all aspiring SEOs. Good luck!
por BGDec 18, 2018
Great to be part of this course.............................................................................................................................\n\nThanks for helping me so much
por MMMay 12, 2016
It was a good course, but I would have liked to have the opportunity to go more in depth. It took a long time to explain the updates of SEO and would be nice to explore specific examples.
por LSOct 5, 2016
If you have time, it is a good course to start to understand how SEO works. If (like me) you work and don't have time, it can be a little too much useless especially in some parts of it.
