I've just finished the course, and I loved it! I had already previous knowledge about SEO, I had done other courses, some keyword research for clients and translated metatags, but I didn't really know, what to expect from an SEO translation assignment and how to do it. Now I know! I'm so much more confident to say yes to SEO translation. So, thank you for this course, I just loved it!

Although I’m not a newbie in the field of SEO translation, a course covering this topic was on my CPD wish list. The course content sounded very promising, so I enrolled without hesitation. I must admit that this comprehensive course really exceeded my expectations. It is tailored for translators who either want to start specializing in SEO translation or who want to extend their knowledge and skills in this field. The course provides participants with detailed information about all things SEO, practical tips, checklists, a comprehensive glossary, practical examples, links to SEO-related articles, and even an e-book which can serve as a reference book for respective translation assignments. I particularly liked the examples of typical client requests as well as the exercises and quizzes. Thank you so much, Teresa, for this excellent course! I really enjoyed participating in it! Your e-book with the course content will have a permanent place in my e-book library.

This course is excellent. It’s well-structured, clear, and thorough, yet not overwhelming (quite a feat when it comes to SEO!). I know a fair bit about SEO but it provided a great recap of relevant topics, focusing on those that are relevant for translators. Plus I learned about plenty of useful tools I wasn’t aware of before. Thanks very much!
