The Keyword C.L.A.S.S. Curriculum
Week 1: Clarify
Figure out exactly who your audience is, what they're searching for, where they're searching, and what they want to get out of each search (this is the big part many people miss).

Emily Gertenbach: SEO writer, strategist, and consultant
I'm a 16-year veteran of the SEO world, so I've seen all kinds of changes. And no matter what anyone has said would "kill SEO" over the years, two things have remained consistent:
- SEO didn't die
- The most reliable way to appear in any search result is to know what your audience wants and deliver it in the way they expect
My human-focused approach means that my and my clients' websites stay at the top of the same search results for years, rapidly ascend to the top in both traditional and AI searches (I'm talking getting cited by ChatGPT within a few hours of a page being published), and bring in a steady stream of visitors...no matter how those people are searching for information.
