After the Google Analytics class, students know how to connect this tool to a website, collect data, measure key performance indicators, and create reports to demonstrate the impact of digital marketing on business goals. With the WordPress SEO class, students learn how to implement on-site SEO best practices using the content management system that powers 39.6% of the world’s websites. In the Introduction to SEO class, students begin to think about the internet in terms of users, spiders, and content – this helps them understand how to optimize content on their websites to appeal to users and search engines.
