Testimonial

Very well presented, you can definitely tell the teacher is an expert in his field, he speaks clearly and confidently, assuring you that he is the right one! One of my favorite instructors because they make learning easy since they clearly know what they are teaching.

Edgar R.

Yes, i actually like the content about the GMB listings and ads, but i found about the interlinking part to boost your links, it would be better if there were more examples on how to do it between the main core pages, and not the blog, as this is something that would not be prior in need for a local business.

Wesley B.

informational. Explains everything well so far. I do have questions but I'm getting ahead of the course. I think it's more of a website question though. I know the instructor said he answers questions. I may have one or two. Thank you for that.

Christine J.
