Inside this material

Search engine optimisation can look technical from the outside, but the basics are logical once you see how search engines work. This e-learning material begins with crawling, indexing and ranking in plain language, then moves on to keyword research: finding the phrases people type when they need what you offer and judging which ones are realistic to target.

Later levels turn to your own pages. You look at titles, headings, content quality, internal links, page speed and mobile use, and learn how each affects visibility. The material also introduces links from other websites and why quality matters more than quantity.

Because results from search build over time, the final part focuses on planning: choosing priorities, tracking progress with free tools and fitting search work into your wider marketing plan without chasing shortcuts.
