What to Expect
This course will give you a brief overview of basic SEO strategies that you can use within your WordPress website and exactly how to execute on them.
I've organized it for you in a quick and simple way that will get you through the course in about an hour.
I know you're super busy and need to get back to your business, but doing this now will eliminate a lot of the problems that happen later on, and get your "snowball" rolling down the hill. Plus, you might already be making some mistakes that are detrimental to your business, and this course will make sure you correct any of those errors.
So set aside some time, either now, or sometime this week, because if you've got a new website and aren't sure how to optimize a meta description..
You're going to need a little help.
Don't worry. It's not coding! It's not super technical or really difficult...
But you should have a little bit of a feel to your website before beginning. And you should have your WordPress site installed, so that you can follow along. If you don't have a site yet, or even a domain, check out my completely free course on setting up a WordPress site by clicking here.
