Technical SEO is a part of search engine optimization that relates directly to the process of helping search engine spiders crawl and index your website effectively and without any issues that would prevent them from interpreting your content properly. Having a technically flawless, high-performing website is an important aid to its organic rankings.
The Technical SEO Learning Path is a sequence of online video courses brought to you by field experts and aimed at getting you acquainted with this complex discipline.
By taking the courses within the Learning Path, you’ll get theoretical and practical knowledge of technical SEO. Each course deals with its own area of expertise, starting with the essentials of technical SEO, like controlling web crawlers and web performance, and gradually moving on to more profound concepts and actionable advice on how to improve and maintain your website's health.
If you’re making your way into the SEO profession, then this training program is an indispensable part of your professional development — technical SEO skills make a great SEO specialist. This series of online courses can also be useful if you’re already a seasoned professional — just dipping into certain lessons within a desired course to brush up on your skills.
As our SEO skills research states, technical SEO is among the top required skills to master to become a great SEO professional. Moreover, in the learning process, you can always test your knowledge by taking the accompanying exams and, if successful, you’ll earn your certifications, proof of your technical SEO proficiency for your employers and clients.
Our Technical SEO Learning Path has three courses, with over 50 lessons overall. Taking into account the time needed to devote to additional materials, we estimate that it will take around 9 hours of learning time. However, it’s totally up to you how deep you dive into a certain topic, or if you take it at all — you’re absolutely free to learn at your own pace.
No. Though this training program is made up of three courses that complement each other and work best together, it’s still viable to take whichever course or courses or even lesson you deem fits your learning objectives. Each course within the Learning Path comes with its own exam and certification so you won’t be penalized in any way for not completing all of them.
Not really, but we’d recommend taking the Technical SEO Course first just to make sure you know all the basics of technical SEO before taking on subsequent courses.
Absolutely not. Once you’ve enrolled in any of the courses, your access will never expire. You have unlimited time and access to all the course materials so you can study at your own pace. Don’t have time this week? No problem. Just come back when it's convenient and pick up where you left off.
Yes. In fact, each course within this Learning Path has an accompanying exam. If you take and pass that exam, you’ll earn a certificate. So, the more courses you complete — and pass an exam for — the more certificates you’ll get to show off your achievements!
In order to get certified, you have to take the exam relevant to the course you’ve completed. Once you’ve passed the exam, you’ll receive a certificate. Then, all you have to do is share it on social media, and add it to your CV and LinkedIn profile to show off your technical SEO skills.
As technical SEO constantly evolves, your skills can quickly become obsolete. That’s why your certificate is valid for one year — you’ll need to retake an exam in order to stay certified.
Getting a new certificate if your old one has expired is simple. All you have to do is revise the courses to make sure your technical SEO skills are up to date, and then retake the relevant exams. Once you successfully pass an exam, you’ll get a new certificate valid for another year.
Yes, all of the courses and lessons in this learning path are absolutely and forever free.
