SEO training classes provide a smart, accessible way to accelerate your knowledge of our industry's best practices, tools, and processes. For several months we've offered three workshops on our SEO Training page that focused on core SEO capabilities like keyword research, competitor research, and site audits.
Starting now in February 2017, we're expanding these classes to include more topics and more opportunities to help your team deliver value faster.
What's changed about our SEO training classes?
There are two major changes we’ve made to our SEO training solutions that you can see today:
- We've redesigned, renamed, and expanded our workshops
- We now offer custom in-house SEO training
Workshops = SEO bootcamps
Previously, our workshops were focused on a few essential topics that every online marketer could benefit from. We're now expanding these into a six-part series of classes that cover not only essential topics, but also the process of implementing a search engine optimization strategy. Each SEO bootcamp can be taken separately or together as a series, and are geared for beginner to intermediate marketers.
The topics we’re starting with are as follows:
- Intro to SEO
- Keyword and competitor research
- How to conduct an SEO site audit
- On-page optimization best practices
- Off-page optimization best practices
- How to report on SEO performance
What is in-house SEO training, exactly?
I used to be the VP of a marketing agency and like many agencies, we were pulled into the world of SEO by our clients. Many web designers are asked by their clients to provide SEO and subsequently need to learn how to scale up their capability fast. In-house SEO training is a way to help agencies and marketing services firms add SEO to their portfolio quickly to meet the needs of their proposal commitments.
Another common use case for custom in-house SEO training: those in-house marketing teams that want to grow their online marketing capability. In-house training can help advance your new team members' knowledge, so they can start delivering value to your organization right off the bat. Interactive SEO training solutions allow businesses to quickly accelerate their skills.
Different learning options for different learning styles
The main thing that will remain unchanged is our commitment to helping you do better SEO. We recognize that people have different learning styles and different time commitments. I'm a great example of someone who learns by doing and values the ability to ask questions during class from a professional instructor. When I was training to be a commercial pilot, I spent most of my time doing hands-on learning in a very structured class environment. That experience aligned well with my learning style.
Some people learn by reading. Some learn by videos alone. And others value live, interactive experiences. Here at Moz, we're building an ecosystem of learning solutions to meet every type of learning style.
And this is just the beginning. We'll continue to invest in your skills. Check back often to the moz.com/training page to see new SEO classes as they launch!
I was looking some course in advance if that will be related local SEO. I have requested this in your given form.
But I will suggest everyone those want know or want to improve their SEO skill then they must join these sessions. I am sure after this you will generate more business in your niches. Here all members have great knowledge in their areas but the good things that they will share their theories in practicality.
Hello Brian, Will they be really helpful for new SEOs who are willing to learn something new related to the online marketing industries? Or this will going to help for only experienced one?
How reliant is the training on MOZ's tool sets? I have already invested in a different set of tools.
Hey Brendon,
Great question. SEO concepts transcend any one software platform. We use a mix of tools including Google Analytics, Moz Pro, Search Console, and others. And I encourage participants to share their own tools and processes. That is what I love about these classes ... it is not just a video. The participants and encouraged to share their experiences and insights.
Hope that helps!
Interesting renewal of methodologies. Do you also include classes and material in Spanish?
Go Brian! :)
Great news, I love the Moz trainings. See you soon in these workshops. :)
That is awesome Brian! Quick question--I attend a few of the online workshops last year; will the material being covered on the topics be the same as they were last year or have they been dramatically updated? *Trying to figure out if I want to attend a few conferences this year or do some Moz training and attend MozCon*
Thanks in advance for the info!
Hey Aaron!
We have totally revamped the classes! Updated, polished, and they even have that new webinar smell.
That said, if it's about managing your annual training budget, I think we'd all love to see you at Mozcon.
Maybe choose one SEO bootcamp, see what you think, and then make the call on your additional spend.
Hi Brian!
That is great to hear--I will definitely check it out a few of the sessions (and looking forward to any new topic sessions being added in the future) and will definitely do what I can to make it to Mozcon as well!
Thanks for the feedback and can't wait to see what else Moz has in store for this year!
When I started SEO, everyone looking for information from their acquaintances, if they are unable to solve your query then you always wondering in SEO World what to do next, However I never thought that someone will teach us all the aspects of Modern SEO though these Training and Classes where I can ask any kind of question which always gives me second thought of SEO. Again Thanks for Moz Blogs & Staff especially Rand's Blog and their free resources like OSE which completely changes the era of SEO, and its evolving. Happy to attend these classes.
Amazing
This SEO course looks interesting
Will there also be a course in Spanish?
I am from Peru and I would like to know if there will be courses or materials in Spanish language, Thanks
Good advice Brian !! Although brief, I have been wanting to read more.
Awesome!
I'll bring my Jr.SEO to join!
This is a great list of resources for beginners and experts alike. Planning to ask our marketing team to check out this list. Thanks.
It's pretty sad that there is a large segment of our community that won't take Moz up on the offer for training.
My thought is that an SEO, or marketer, will NEVER know enough to be considered an "expert", and that is what makes what we do so exciting.
I'm signing up for sure!
SEO is ever changing with all these new Google Panda, Penguin & other Google algorithm updates. How long would I be able to apply these SEO in practical?
