SEO Training Services

 

SEO at times can be referred to as a ‘dark art’ but this is not the case. Whilst in our opinion SEO is best placed with an agency who have the specialised resource from a content, onsite, offsite and technical perspective we still believe in bridging the knowledge gap so when working with third parties your staff have a sound understanding and knowledge base. Our courses provide confidence and gives your team the tools and knowledge to evaluate their strategies placed infront of them and also allow them to evaluate the monthly report which will be presented to the business in more detail.

 

Any person who is instructing an agency to optimise their site should have a sound understanding of the fundamentals and this is what we are able to provide though our our day course.
