Great course, very informative!! I can tell the classes are starting to be structured differently though. Not too much meat to this first course... reserving my opinion, until I go through a few more.

I really enjoyed this course. Although I have been blogging from past 4-5 years, I have learnt a lot about SEO and other stuff. I still learnt something new from this course and best part is it was fun doing it.

Content is good for people who have no experience in digital marketing or marketing in general, but for a topic that's always developing, the materials are several years outdated and that makes it less useful.

It was very helpful, appreciate the instructor enthusiasm and i got very useful information about SEO as a start. Yet it will be much better to add more examples from real life in the course content. Thanks.

I liked the course. You still have to use English easier and better articulate. Decrease the speed of your speech as well, as it is a little difficult for non-English speakers to understand better. Thank you

This course provides a lot of information and seems like a good introduction, however a lot of memorization is involved in order to pass the quizzes. I look forward to continuing on this SEO specialization!

In order to actually apply the knowledge, one seems to have to continue with the whole set of specialization course. Otherwise, good course on building the essential knowledge of how search engine works

This is a wonderful Course to understand the Basics of SEO. A person who don't know anything about SEO can learn many things. (Not recommended for those who have good understanding of SEO Basics before)

It was a great course for an overview of SEO and you’ll learn about the algorithms used by Google.

I recommend this course for every beginner who is interested in learning Search Engine Optimisation.

I liked how she started from the introduction and super basics about the course and then dived into the core part of it. Even though it was a four week course but there's a lot to learn still.

The course has given a detailed idea about what SEO is and how it has evolved over the years however I am expecting a more hands on practice season which was not included in this basic course.

This course is amazing. As a course name gives you an idea about its topic it's just an introduction of SEO. But it is very important for everyone who wants to do SEO for his/her website/blog.

It's a very complete and interesting course around SEO techniques and history. I only new about techniques so the context/ environment / timeline from the past was very enriching. Thank you!

This SEO concept is very new to me, and I find it helpful after going through the modules.

The outside links are interesting as well. I just think you can dive more deeply into some topics.

I liked the course but for some questions, I could not find the answer in the course. For example, in module 3, the question regarding which of them are not traditional algorithm updates.

If you have time, it is a good course to start to understand how SEO works. If (like me) you work and don't have time, it can be a little too much useless especially in some parts of it.

Very good intro into what SEO is all about, and a great starting point for fresh SEO's. Don't expect very in-depth or technical info - while it's covered, it's done so at a high level.

It gives a good overview of SEO. Then I work in Sweden some parts about finding a job in SEO is not so relevant for me. But I liked the course and I will take the following once also.

Course and topics covered are Very helpful, but I request to add more examples and case studies so that topic becomes more understandable easily coz alone theory can not help a lot...
