This curriculum spans the full lifecycle of keyword optimization, comparable to an ongoing internal SEO program integrated across strategy, content, technical, and analytics functions in a large digital enterprise.

  • Identifying content gaps by comparing top-ranking pages’ keyword usage against internal content inventories.
  • Assessing whether to target competitor-branded keywords based on legal, ethical, and brand safety policies.
