Wondering where to learn SEO, here's where I learned.

It is no secret that the Digital Marketing space is filled with smoke and shadows. People that pose as professionals for the sole purpose of selling you a course that'll "make you a millionaire tomorrow morning" or "zero to hero" in one week.

The truth is that unfortunately at some point you'll have to go through a lot of bs to find the good stuff but there's good stuff.

I personally began my SEO journey with a Udemy course that was pretty basic and generic, it touched on eeverything you can imagine; PPC, SEO, Copywriting, web development, YouTube content creation... which is nuts, that dude literally made a 25 hour course talking about everything and I've never met anyone who specialises in everything it is just not doable. However, it wasn't bad to get your foot in the door.

It gave me an idea of what SEO was and I moved from there.

I regularly watch Rand Fishkin's content, did a few LinkedIn Learning courses from Matt Bailey, Brad Batesole, David Booth, Eric Enge, read the Art of SEO... As soon as I understood what SEO was about, before even practicing anything I started learning HTML, CSS and Javascript. I then watched SEMrush tutorials and did those courses again as well as taking notes of what works and doesn't (this time from practicing on my friend's site). As soon as I could walk the walk I'd see myself spending a lot of time in developers.google.com which basically tells you everything you need for site migrations, understanding sitemaps, robots.txt, understanding crawling, pagination, International SEO best practices as it differs quite a lot and I'd say that for newbies it will be a bit more complex than local per se.

One of my main ways to determine who I give my time of the day is what they use to attract viewers. "I'll make you X" vs "this is how I do Y". I never bought a course from someone telling me they'd make me rich and I'll never. All I looked for were skills. No one can make you rich but yourself, don't look for shortcuts, it takes time, trial and error. Times of frustration as well as motivation. Like any other thing in life, consistency is key when it comes to learning literally anything in life.

The people I listed happen to actually run very successful companies in the industry. Some might have something to say about them but generally speaking, I learned from them and a few others.

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
