Requirements
This mini course is a short, concise guide to the most important actions needed to make a WordPress website SEO-ready. It is designed for people who want clear direction without unnecessary explanations, long lessons, or theory-heavy content.
The course focuses on what actually matters when taking care of basic SEO for a website. Each lesson explains what needs to be done, why it matters at a high level, and what to pay attention to, without going deep into technical details or advanced optimisation techniques. There are no extended case studies or step-by-step projects. The goal is to help students move quickly and apply the essentials without wasting time.
This course works more as a reference and orientation guide than a full SEO training programme. It helps students understand where to focus their efforts, how to avoid common mistakes, and how to keep a website in a state that search engines can properly understand and index.
By the end of the course, students will know how to take care of the basic SEO aspects of a WordPress website, make informed decisions when setting up or managing pages, and prepare a site for organic visibility. The concepts covered can be applied to content websites, affiliate projects, or online eCommerce stores as a starting point.
