What the program covers

The breakdown, module by module

Each track is split into focused modules. Open one below to see what's inside.

Not about finding the highest-volume word. About finding what your audience is typing when they're ready to read or act.

  • Free tools vs. paid — what matters for beginners
  • Long-tail vs. head terms and when to use each
  • Mapping keywords to page purpose

Search intent is why someone searched — informational, navigational, transactional. Getting this wrong makes everything else irrelevant.

  • The four intent types with real examples
  • How to read SERPs to understand what Google thinks users want
  • Matching content format to intent

Ticking boxes doesn't make content better. This module is about understanding why each element matters — so you can make good decisions without a plugin telling you what to do.

  • Title tags, H1s, and headings hierarchy
  • Image alt text that's actually descriptive
  • URL structure and slug decisions

Search Console tells you a lot if you know where to look. This module walks through the key reports and what to actually do with the numbers.

  • Impressions vs. clicks — what the gap means
  • Identifying pages worth updating
  • Setting realistic benchmarks over time
Course instructor
"The module on search intent genuinely changed how I approach a brief. My articles started picking up traffic a few weeks after finishing Track 02 — nothing dramatic, but steady and consistent."
