Some useful tips but was hoping that he would dive more into actually implementing the code into projects and giving us challenges to complete and not just focusing on Wordpress the whole time.

Somethings feel a little out of date (like mentioning Google+) but otherwise it is good and informative. There is one glaring omission though and that is if generative AI can be used for SEO. Hopefully this course gets an update soon.

The advice in the course is solid, but nothing new... It's still relevant for 2019 though. The course is worth the cost

' There were certain areas where he said "and this should be fine" but clearly we can see through his screen share that what he was doing wasn't working. Beyond that, the course seemed ok. I'm watching this in 2018, and so maybe 3 years later it doesn't hold up as well presentation wise. Still very good information especially for the price on Udemy. P.S. Just finished the whole course. There are good pdfs available that he gives that are tools you use for scanning SEO strength. That adds a great amount of value for the dollar you're paying. Many of these tools are free, but the fact that he gives you lists of your tools, I would literally pay someone $20 just to make a list of necessary tools for SEO. Anything more than that you get out of this course is a bonus.

WOW! Loved the course. Answered many questions that I had about SEO and how to apply it. The instructor does focus on Wordpress and some on HTML sites. The instructor refers to Awesome SEO links and software that is a MUST. I'm glad I went through this course. Thank You!
