Description

This online SEO course teaches you how to take your website’s SEO to the next level. It is ideal for people that want to increase brand awareness and gain customers in regions outside their local markets. Through self study (via text and short videos), practical application and feedback from an SEO expert, you will learn how to propel your business to the top of Google search results and keep it there.

This feedback is one of the things that differentiates this course from other online courses. How often have you started to take an online course and didn’t understand something? So you keep going, get more and more confused and then give up? Or perhaps you learn to do something online, but then get cold feet when applying it to your own business because you are afraid you are doing it wrong? With this course, your important work gets reviewed by an SEO expert. Plus you receive two free gift cards for phone consultations with an SEO expert if you get stuck.

Another key differentiating factor in our courses is that they are constructed for small and medium sized business owners with limited time. The curricula are constructed so that you learn exactly what you need to drive traffic to your website. We don’t get bogged down in overly technical conversations or learn material that is not relevant to helping you generate leads and grow your business.
