    Start by understanding the basics through resources like Moz "Beginner's Guide to SEO" or Google "SEO Starter Guide". Different online courses from the same Coursera or Moz. And studying different forums and articles here on digitalpoint.

    Maybe start with courses to build a solid foundation, then apply your knowledge in practice.
    As for me, it's also beneficial to have a SEO specialist nearby whom you can ask any questions.
    Wish you good luck!

    The essence of SEO is indeed a content delivery mechanism, and its purpose is to deliver high-quality, valuable content to potential users. Search engines evaluate the relevance between web page content and user search intent through SEO algorithms, and then decide which web pages should be ranked at the top of search results. Indeed, the ultimate goal of SEO is to achieve conversion, whether it is selling products, providing services or other commercial purposes. In the domestic market, with the rise of social media and content platforms such as Douyin and Xiaohongshu, users' attention has been dispersed to these platforms. These platforms themselves have powerful recommendation algorithms that can push content based on users' interests and behavioral habits, so they have also become new traffic entrances. For SEO, this means that in addition to optimizing traditional search engines, it is also necessary to consider how to gain exposure on these social media and content platforms. This may include creating content strategies specifically for these platforms and using the search engine effect of the platform to attract users. In this process, understanding and analyzing user behavior becomes crucial. Whether it is a traditional search engine or a social media platform, users want to find valuable, interesting, and problem-solving content. Therefore, the quality and value of the content remain the core. But my personal suggestion is to disperse the channels, just like you need to know Google SEO, and then learn basic HTML. js, css

    It would be great to know what your objective is. Are you planning to provide SEO services or are you hoping to apply it to your website?

    1) Offering SEO Services - The best way to start is to use Google's SEO Guide. It is completely free. You can also take a few online sources on LinkedIn.
    2) Improving your website's chance to compete on Google. You can ask here for free reviews or head over to April Pad and request a free SEO review. They will provide tips that you can follow that are specific to your website.

    Hi, you can learn SEO easily through different kinds of platforms, like forums. SEO blogs, YouTube, etc and you can easily get knowledge through those platforms, but I would like to tell you that if you want to do real SEO knowledge, then you need to join an internship job in any kind of digital marketing company, and in a few months you will get good basic knowledge about SEO as well as live project experience.
