What topics are covered in this SEO copywriting training?

Yoast SEO Academy features 6 SEO copywriting modules, covering all steps to create awesome copy that ranks. It’s thorough, but sliced into bite-size chunks:

  1. Introduction to SEO copywriting: Do you think that you are already paying enough attention to copy? You’re probably not. It’s hard to overestimate the value of copy for higher rankings. You’ll learn why website copy is so important for SEO and how Google understands text.
  2. Find out what your audience wants to read: To attract readers, you need to know what they want to read. Keyword research will help you determine what you could rank for and therefore what to write about. Stop guessing. Start learning the basics of keyword research yourself.
  3. Preparation is half the battle: We’ll help you structure your ideas and turn them into writing that makes sense and match the needs of your audience. This preparation makes the actual writing a lot easier and more effective!
  4. Write readable and unique copy: You’ll discover different methods to make your text readable and engaging. Storytellingtone of voice, persuasion, we cover it all. The result: your readers get to the end of every page (and to your call to action) without any effort. And they’ll be more likely to share your content with others as well.
  5. The finishing touch: We’ll provide you with some tips and tricks on how to find and improve mistakes or misspellings you might have made while writing. After this, it’s time to further optimize your text for search engines. We’ll explain the principles and you’ll see why our (free) Yoast SEO plugin makes this super easy.
  6. Publishing your content: we help you reach your audience by showing you how and where to share it, and to optimize that process as well.
