Where does your website rank in Google? What keywords does it rank for and which ones drive traffic? How many visitors does your site get from Google and are you generating the right sort of traffic? Are you just confused?
Unfortunately the mantra ‘build it and they will come’ doesn’t work when generating organic traffic from search engines. Our SEO training helps solve this problem.
If this sounds like you – if you’re wondering how search engines work and what you need to do to rank higher – then this course is ideal. We explain the reasons why some websites rank and others tank; we show you what works – and what doesn’t; we demonstrate the tools to see what’s happening on your website, how to research keywords and see what your competition is doing online and how successful they are; and realistically understand what you can and can’t rank for. We will teach you the skills to improve your position in search.
Our SEO courses are both in-person and online. See below for all our upcoming courses or here for our SEO training courses in Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham.
