The way of explaining the terms is excellent and content is very good . I leant many new things from this course. Going to do all the courses of this specialization. Thanks for the wonderful content.

The content is pretty good. Although the videos should have a better balance between narration and on-screen text. Having long text content and narration can be distracting sometimes.
Overall, very complete and detailed.

It was a great course that provided key discussions on the basic elements of SEO. It's perfect for beginners but also helpful for those who have been practicing SEO for a while but didn't necessarily have formal training.

It introduces SEO generals. Shortly and broadly points to some aspects of SEO field. There are some interesting articles and videos linked to study blocks. I would take it again after learning more about specifics of SEO.

I thought the content of the course was strong and relevant. My only critique is that several of the quiz's asked questions that were not covered in the course. As a result, I had to do outside research to complete them.

Excellent intro to SEO, with clear, well organized videos and good supplemental reading material. I have a much better understanding of what SEO is and how to optimize websites. I will never look at a website the same!

I feel like this course is more theoretical and features a less hands-on approach. nevertheless, the course materials provided are great and very useful. I look forward to more practical lessons in the upcoming course.

Great Introductory course! Learned the history and advancement of SEO, and things that contributes to it. It would have been 5 stars if lingos / technical terms were briefly described. (eg. Anchor text,Web-copy,etc)

Fantastic course for absolute beginners! I kept wondering, though, at the rate of speed the instructor was saying these new algorithms were released, what has changed in the two years since this series was recorded!

This course is an interesting overview of the world of SEO, but do not expect a job at the end of it. I learned a lot about SEO, but the actual application of SEO is something that you will not find in this course.

I really enjoyed this course. Although I have been blogging from past 4-5 years, I have learnt a lot about SEO and other stuff. I still learnt something new from this course and best part is it was fun doing it.

Content is good for people who have no experience in digital marketing or marketing in general, but for a topic that's always developing, the materials are several years outdated and that makes it less useful.

It was very helpful, appreciate the instructor enthusiasm and i got very useful information about SEO as a start. Yet it will be much better to add more examples from real life in the course content. Thanks.

I liked the course. You still have to use English easier and better articulate. Decrease the speed of your speech as well, as it is a little difficult for non-English speakers to understand better. Thank you

This course provides a lot of information and seems like a good introduction, however a lot of memorization is involved in order to pass the quizzes. I look forward to continuing on this SEO specialization!

In order to actually apply the knowledge, one seems to have to continue with the whole set of specialization course. Otherwise, good course on building the essential knowledge of how search engine works

This is a wonderful Course to understand the Basics of SEO. A person who don't know anything about SEO can learn many things. (Not recommended for those who have good understanding of SEO Basics before)

The course is ok but probably would appeal more to those who are really interested in SEO...I sometimes fell asleep half way through the videos. It would be nice if the provide better graphics.
