How to choose the best SEO training course?

[Sburator]

Hello,

I plan to attend an SEO training course, and I am a bit confused by the huge diversity of offers.

Could you please suggest me some tips/criteria/key points to consider before giving my money to a training company?

Any piece of advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I think most SEO training agencies are pretty much are scam. I've found SEO books and blogs to be much more useful than the course I attended.

All will sell you material that is already available online for free. So, if you are dedicated, you can learn everything in your own for free.

Do you have any blogs/books/sites you find useful in particular? (Aside from BHW of course )

Backlinko, Neil Patel, Ahrefs Blog, BHW. I just write articles when I have problem I search for solutions. I already watched many paid courses on here But they are nothing special to me.

Thank you guys for your answers,

Well, I have some, but I'm not sure if I am allowed to mention them here.

I've thought that a training course would be a better opportunity to get, share some useful information while meeting other fellow SEO specialists, and marketers. I've been looking for something more interactive.

Neil Patel and Briand Dean are great, Nathan Gotch also, but I've found some more advanced stuff on the Stuart Walker's website.

You just have to start it with a live example and execute everything whatever you're learning or reading (following whichever course) that is going to help a lot.

If you want to have the content which thing to follow then every one of them is just same they are not going to sell or tell you the winning formula which is working for them.

So just read and practice till you reach your winning formula.

As @krishnaverma have replied here I was also going to say the same but i thought to give a little push to you for a better suggestion, I hope it will give you some sort of positive push.

No course can teach you SEO, You have to read case studies and other things to become a real expert.

 

[Tehan123]

Beastkay pretty much got it, in SEO (nowadays at least), you have to learn by doing. The methods that will work vary from niche to niche, country to country, etc.

There are lots of online courses and portals available, but I think they all are useless if they are not providing any real-time hands on. SEO is very wide and constantly changing, so real-time hands will ensure that you are on right track and learning something which deals with latest trends and updates.

Better invest your time to read, read, read. In BHW has soo much information, cases, articles and etc. Also invest money to buy one, two domains for case studies and tests. After read some information - test it. Build your website in something you know - blog, online shop, cars, books, food. Test onpage, read for offpage. After sometime, buy acount in ahref, moz and learn hot to use them.

Honestly the best training course is a domain, hosting and this form. If the dedication is there you will succeed. If it's not you will fail. On a positive note the form is free and the domain and hosting is like 12$ a year for a starter package.

SEMRush has free 5 hours course i think, with exams etc.

The best SEO courses are from these 4:

• Neil Patel
• Nathan Gotch
• Ryan Stewart
• Brian Dean (Backlinko)

As far as just learning SEO, I would go to Backlinko's and Ahrefs' blogs - should give you 80% of what you need...

 

[gregz06]

When it comes to basic SEO courses, in 99% you will be given the same info you can easily find through the web. If someone says he will tell you some secret techniques he uses himself, it's 146% scam. The only good way to learn it is to practice yourself, read articles on blogs (lots of decent ones have already been mentioned here) and implement everything you read. BHW is way more useful than those courses.

 

[chifu167]

Lots of free stuff in here (BHW) already. Read and don't be afraid to test things out. I've failed, but fail forward and learn from what works/doesn't work.

 

[SEOICIAN]

join courses which are always updated and where you can ask questions

 

[ridersark]

One reason why I think SEO courses and training is BS is because - NO one knows how Search Engine Algorithms work!

What you need is a basic idea of how things work. For example, algorithms rank websites based on a slew of factors outta which backlinks is one.
