Module 2- Digital Marketing and SEO
Lesson 1: Fundamental SEO tools – Google Search Console

You’ll learn about the core functions of search engines, how a website is crawled and indexed, how to create a sitemap, and you’ll get to know Google Search Console!
Lesson 2: Keyword research for SEO
Without keywords, search engines can’t accurately determine what a website is about. If they don’t understand this, then a website will either not be eligible to appear on the search results, or it will be displayed for queries you don’t necessarily want to target. Learn the best practices for implementing keywords, equip yourself with a variety of keyword research tools, and get an introduction to another valuable platform for SEO analysis.
Lesson 3: URL structure and internal links
Do you know how important a URL is? It is the first place a bot looks to determine the content on a website so they should be a priority. Understand how to structure URLs, implement effective internal links, and monitor those internal links with Google Search Console and Ahrefs.
Lesson 4: External link building: Part 1
Top SEOs believe that external links are the most important ranking factor in SEO, alongside quality content. A link from another source is considered a “vote” from that source, and search engines see a lot of value in this.
