If you want to improve your understanding of technical SEO, this is a fantastic resource. It’s currently free, which considering all the content is pretty incredible. As well as the modules you might expect like running technical audits and working with tools such as Screaming Frog, there’s also sections on accessibility and even a module on how to present your findings to people at different levels (c-suite, marketing, engineering) to help you get maximum results. I doubt you’ll find a better free technical SEO course on the Internet.
