This course is not what I thought it would be. It has a focus on Google whereas I thought we would be getting taught an overencompassing SEM strategy

Seems good. Covering from basics. Though I know quite some concepts but it's good clarification and precise information.

It is a very complete course, but still quite basic if you already have some knowledge on SEM.
