Great content. Even though it was published in 2015, I believe the core fundamentals discussed are still relevant.

It is a complete course, easy to follow, that shows the most important steps of the SEO process if you need to redesign and rank a website. It provides a good overview of SEO for anyone without previous knowledge or experience. However, as other reviews said, the course is outdated (2015 I guess) and SEO tools and resourses shown in the videos are not up-to-date despite the title
