Yoast has been involved with SEO on a daily basis for over 10 years! Our plugin is the front-runner in SEO plugins for WordPress. Following our mission “SEO for Everyone”, we help experienced and beginners in the field of SEO. With our Yoast Academy, we teach thousands of students the arts and crafts of SEO. Focusing on practical guidance, we created this free SEO for beginners training, to help you understand search engines and improve and further optimize your website.

This Yoast Academy course introduces you to all aspects of search engine optimization (SEO). This ranges from how Google decides what search result to show first, to optimizing your website’s structure and content. In this easy-to-understand course, we’ll pave the way for better SEO and website optimization from now on.

After this training, you will know:

– How search engines work, how they read websites, and what you can do to rank higher in their search results. With this understanding, it will be easier to focus on the right elements of search engine optimization for your specific website and target audience.

– How people find you: what do they type into Google? If you know that, you can make sure you’re offering the information they’re looking for! A hammer’s main purpose isn’t to drive nails into a wall, its purpose is to hang a painting (for instance). Make sure you’re not caught up in your own perception of your product or services.

– What kind of content ranks high in Google, and how you should optimize your text for that. Using our actionable tips and recommendations, you’ll be able to write compelling content that ranks better. Better rankings for the right content equals better quality visitors!

– Find out why the structure of your site is important, and how to optimize yours. Make it as easy as possible for search engines and Google to visit any and all pages on your site. And put focus on the most important ones in the process, of course!

– Learn how to check if you’re blocking Google from indexing your site, and how to fix that. It just happens way too often that certain pages are blocked from Google somehow, leaving you wondering why you are not getting visitors. Learn how to check and prevent that.

– Understand how to get those fancy search results that include pictures, or even ratings. Using so-called rich snippets, you might help Google to show your search result in a more prominent way, tailored to their visitors. This will obviously help you gain traffic!

There is so much more! This really is the first step in understanding what you need to do so your website actually gets found. It’s full of hands-on tips so you can get right to work!
