SEO Core Fundamentals with SEO Powersuite
It’s not easy to get into SEO, especially if you are a beginner. You may even feel “paralysis by analysis” at first because there is so much to learn. That’s why the quickest way to SEO mastery is to learn it while doing it. Theory and practice.
This course by Joseph Kahn shows you exactly what to do in order to get your SEO campaign up and running in record time. The course covers everything you need for your first successful SEO campaign, from keyword research to on-page and off-page lessons. By the end of the course, you’ll have a clear idea of the SEO process pros use and more importantly HOW to do it.
Joseph also gives an overview of what can be done in your SEO campaign with SEO Powersuite. Why use SEO Powersuite to teach fundamentals? Because it’s beginner friendly in terms of price. But what if you don't have SEO Powersuite? No problem. You can get a lot done within the 14 day free trial but we’ve also worked out a special deal for you.
Unlimited platform access for $97 / month.
