SEO Course for Beginners

by Ahrefs

A short video course from the team behind the Ahrefs toolset, covering the four areas a new site owner has to get right: finding keywords worth targeting, on-page work, building links, and the technical basics that decide whether pages can be crawled at all. Fourteen lessons totalling roughly two hours, published without a sign-up or an Ahrefs subscription. Examples are demonstrated in the provider's own tools, which is worth knowing before starting.

    Semrush SEO Crash Course with Brian Dean

    Under an hour of video covering the SEO workflow end to end: what search optimisation is, finding keywords, writing pages for them, earning links, and checking whether any of it worked. Taught by Backlinko's Brian Dean and published free by Semrush, with a certificate on completion. It is a compressed overview rather than a full curriculum — five substantive lessons — demonstrations use Semrush's own tools, and the final segment is promotional.
