This course was helpful in building a good understanding of SEO and making it work for my small business.
Great course on SEO John explained things clearly and adjusted content to meet our needs and questions
This is the second time I'm doing the course as I'm doing the course resit. I've still learnt new things both times. The instructor answered our questions and provided great resources. Thanks.
Course and materials are clear, John is not only informative but also great at facilitating the course, making it fun but also relatable to our needs.
