The resources in this module are designed to help you better understand the components of a successful SEO strategy and identify some of the ways you can get started. Within this module, you’ll familiarize yourself with the different aspects of search results, learn how to test your site for indexation, security, speed, and mobile-friendly design, and what you can do to optimize your website content.
