The SEO Course was another very informative and structured course that was easy to follow. I particularly liked the suggestions provided for packaging up your SEO Services and developing a SEO Plan. I plan to use these as guidelines for future clients. The resources and overview of SEO software were also helpful. Thanks!

Josh, Excellent course! I have never taken any SEO training until this course. To date, I have learned by just reading about SEO concepts and a lot of trial and error. Your training was very helpful in providing a foundation from which I can build on moving forward. I’m fascinated with helping small businesses increase revenue performance by developing high-quality websites that convert, and SEO is a core component of that strategy. To that end, I’m also working my way through an extensive training program on SEO certification with UC Davis via Coursera in order to develop a much deeper understanding of this discipline. Thanks, Eric

This essential SEO course provided a comprehensive overview of organic search engine optimization. The curriculum covered key concepts such as keyword research, link building strategies, the power of backlinks, and the consequences of using unethical tactics. The instructors emphasized the importance of creating high-quality content and taking a patient, persistent approach to SEO. Overall, this course served as an excellent foundation for anyone looking to improve their understanding of organic SEO. The information presented was clear, thorough, and well-organized, making it an ideal choice for those looking to gain a deeper understanding of this critical aspect of digital marketing.” But most importantly, I learned that SEO is a lot like gardening – it requires patience, persistence, and the occasional use of manure (i.e. high-quality content).

I never felt confident doing SEO for clients (or myself)…until Josh Hall’s SEO course! This course has a wealth of resources, case studies and interviews that gives you a clear, proven path to SEO mastery. Now I am able to apply everything I’ve learned in this course to my own website, as well as clients’ websites, to help boost rankings and visibility. Thanks for a fantastic, value-packed course Josh!

Josh’s SEO course is a great starting point for understanding, in a simple way, the key process of SEO on a WordPress website. As a web design agency owner, it has opened my mind in terms of how vital of a role SEO plays within my business and my client’s too.

Ever looked at a YOAST report and think, “Yikes! How will I ever make sense of all this?” Look no further … Josh Hall’s SEO course is the answer. Combined with Josh’s Web Design Process Course — I feel it has truly upped my Divi WordPress Developer game. Josh’s courses are delivered in a friendly style and beautifully organized. The two pages of linked SEO tools are a lifesaver!
I thoroughly enjoyed the two case studies provided by SEO industry experts. What a bonus! I am 100% confident that our web site builds will be completely Google compliant with a stong organic SEO foundation.
Thanks Josh! Your courses are always worthwhile and provide major ROI.

Josh’s SEO course was a great learning experience for me. I’ve always found SEO a bit confusing as there’s so much information out there but Josh always explains things in a really easy to understand way and gives real world examples. I now have a plan of action I can use on all my clients websites going forward to boost their SEO. Thanks!

SEO has always been a little intimidating for me. Josh’s approach to teaching Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced levels of SEO offers something for everyone. His business model, that focuses on organic methods to attract web presence, are a great place to start and may be enough for most. However, for those wanting to take their SEO game to next level, there is a plethora of information to start that process. The case studies regarding advanced methods of SEO were especially eye opening. I finally feel like I have an SEO strategy for my sites going forward!

This SEO course was well-structured and presented, spanning basic SEO to advance case studies, which really fortified the premise of the course. Josh comes over as knowledgable, likable, and humorous 🙂
I have been doing Divi sites for a few years and wanted to develop better SEO practices. I have already set some of these practices in motion and am beginning to see results. SEO is a long game… organic google ratings are well worth the effort.
The course structure was nicely balanced and easy to follow, navigate, revisit. I can highly recommend Josh’s approach and well done on delivering a nice user experience!

I’m a newbie at web design and first found out about Josh through a Divi User FB group. I loved Josh’s method of explaining the issue in his tutorial. Just as I was finishing my 1st website, I received an email about his new SEO course. Perfect timing!! I knew this was the next thing I needed to learn but was terrified!! Josh’s videos are the perfect length to provide useful information without overwhelming. The course is very organized, well thought out, and engaging. The two advanced webinars at the end were also helpful and interesting. It was nice to learn that SEO isn’t that scary beast I thought it was, but is easily achievable with a little time and thought. Great course! I’ll be signing up for more!!

SEO has always been a mystery to me – after taking Josh’s course I feel much clearer and confident. Not only can I use some of the techniques I have learned right away, but it will also be easier to explain SEO and how it works to my clients. The advanced stuff was a bit too much for me as my focus is on design. However, if I ever want to pursue a deeper application of SEO as part of my website development, Josh provides the information which I will be able to access easily through this course.

This course connected so many dots for me! For years, I’ve tried to teach myself SEO to use on both my site and for my clients’ sites, but I just felt like I was still missing big pieces of information that would benefit me and my clients. Well this course definitely solved these problems while also giving me a plan to follow. But as I learned, SEO is not a one size fits all, so Josh gives you multiple strategies and trouble shooting techniques to use on each unique site you build. Such a great resources to up your SEO game!

I knew I needed a better foundational understanding of SEO to build more effective websites and this course gave me just that. As in Josh’s other courses, the information is laid out in a way that each video builds off the last, giving you a really thorough understanding by the end. I especially love the checklist he gives and it does pair really well with the checklists from his web design process course to keep you on track and organized. This course has been extremely helpful. Thank you Josh!

I was looking for a course to help me structure a process to make sure to build sites optimized for SEO with all the basic and fundamental best practices in place.
This is so important when you are pitching to a potential client and I wanted to make sure I knew all it needed to be done.
Like all Josh’s courses I have taken, this one was packed with super useful information. I found the case studies included in the course amazing in terms of giving me a deeper knowledge and ideas on how to advance in the SEO game.
I definitely recommend this course if you, like me, want to make sure you have solid bases to implement best practices and want to start to understand how to level up your SEO game.

I took this course with Josh Hall, a known Divi guru, so I could find out what I knew and what I didn’t about SEO. Turns out I was missing a lot of info. This class isn’t just for beginners, either. I’m a solo-preneur, even if I don’t actually begin to offer SEO, I’m learning how to discuss optimization. This course is teaching me the SEO vocabulary I can definitely use to help my clients. Thanks, Josh.

Prior to starting this course, I had a grasp of SEO concepts, and even a functional vocabulary to talk with clients about how important SEO is on a website. However, a lot of fundamental elements were missing from what I’ve gathered in knowledge over the years, and this course really ties it up concisely, yet thoroughly. I have used other tutorials from Josh, and find his style very easy to follow and is conducted in a way in which I can implement immediately. I wanted to join this course to enhance but also advance my knowledge, and it’s done exactly that. From fundamentals to advanced strategies, and a plan/tools to get you there, the comprehensive nature of these modules break powerful learning into manageable pieces. This course will be a core element of team training, as I will be purchasing it for each member of my team assisting with an SEO offering that we are launching in July. Thanks for the great work, Josh! You are a gift to the design, Divi, and web community!
