Emarketeers' SEO training course targets marketers and developers looking to improve their website ranking and visibility within organic search engine results pages. It is the perfect compliment to our pay-per-click marketing training course.

The SEO training course provides an in-depth explanation of factors contributing to success or failure in search engine optimisation including: keyphrase planning and strategy, competitor benchmarking, index inclusion and exclusion, on-page optimisation and link building.

During the SEO course, we look at good and bad case studies of search campaigns as well as structured ways to run effective SEO campaigns. Delegates will have a chance to ask questions about their own SEO campaigns.
