Agenda
In this lesson, we are just going to scrap the surface of SEO. This means :
- From a technical point of view, important html tags and SEO tags
- From an editorial point of view, how essential it is to select the appropriate wording
Abstract
SEO requires both editorial and technical skills, which makes it so interesting. Indeed, when a search is performed on a database (search engine, social media, etc…) there is a fierce competition taking place to appear in the first results of the SERP.
The winners have managed to stand out from their competitors that deal with the same topics, but in a way that is easier to apprehend both for robots and real people.
