These days, search isn’t just limited to Google.
Search. Is. EVERYWHERE.
YouTube. Amazon. Pinterest. Yelp… there’s more search-focused platforms out there than you might think.
And your potential customers are using these info hubs to get instant solutions to their queries, while finding businesses like yours (or your competitors) to do the solving!
Wherever people go looking for information is your business’ opportunity to heed the calls for help.
So you gotta ask yourself… are you limiting your business’ discoverability by only focusing on rankings?
A solid SEO strategy is one that boosts your sales by attracting and converting your ideal leads everywhere they are.
Unfortunately…
And That's Why You've Been Taught SEO ALL WRONG
Other Search Marketing trainings will only tell you how to use Google’s algorithm to rank in the search results. But that’s not enough anymore.
They’re forgetting the most important part of your business’ longer strategy…
The Customer.
Because it’s not enough to simply play Google’s algorithm game and expect your prospects will dutifully come a-callin’.
Customers want to feel a connection to you. They need to know, like and trust you before they even consider handing over their time… and their money.
True SEO experts consistently keep their customers top of mind by ensuring their content delivers timely solutions for every stage of the value journey.
At the same time, SEOs know how to keep the search engines scrolling their pages for deliverable, available content for the front page—and most important, the highest ranked positions.
In other words, for a successful SEO strategy to work…
The Customer comes first. The Search Engine comes second.
Certified SEOs know that the best way to turn clicks into engaged, solution-aware prospects and buyers is to…
Earn Your Customers’ Trust & Build Authority In Google (and other searchable platforms)


Imagine being there for your customers wherever they go to get answers to their questions… solutions to their problems… even just peace of mind.
With DigitalMarketer’s Search Marketing Mastery, you’ll build an SEO strategy that can do that and MORE by applying…
- Core Concepts of Search Marketing—why understanding your prospects’ search intent informs the content within your customer value journey
- On Page SEO—how to update your content for optimal user experience and higher SERP ranking

- Local SEO—optimizing your site to rank for relevant local keywords to better promote and sell to your community
- Google’s Algorithm—what to do if you get hit with a major unexpected Google update, and how to prepare and optimize accordingly
This brand new SEO Certification Course has everything you need to know to attract, convert, and ascend your customers with a slam dunk SEO strategy that makes your business the one to beat!
Inside the course you’ll get proven strategies, developed and mastered so that your pages are fully equipped to tell Google, YouTube, Pinterest (and many more) that YOU have the answers your prospects have been searching for.

Frequently Asked Questions
The certification itself is highly valuable if you need to set yourself apart from the competition. What’s far more valuable than any badge or certificate, however, is the actual knowledge you’re going to receive when you take this class and pass all the tests. You will understand every single aspect of digital marketing. I’ll say that again: YOU WILL UNDERSTAND EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF DIGITAL MARKETING.
Yes, you may retake the test up to 2 times (for a total of 3 attempts). After 3 failed attempts, you will be required to retake the class (which you can do for free) before attempting the final exam again.
You can move at your own pace! We understand that life happens and that just because you enroll today, that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to finish (or even start) the class this week. And that’s ok! Take as long as you like. We aren’t going anywhere, and neither is this certification.
This class is 16 hours of video training, so if you are working at it full-time you could technically complete the class and take all the tests in one day (although this is not recommended). To fully understand and apply the materials, you should allow 3 – 7 days if you are working full-time, and 14 – 21 days if you are taking the class part-time.
No. A certification that can simply be purchased isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. That’s why our courses are challenging. If we’re going to allow you to display a DigitalMarketer badge, you better believe you’re going to have to earn it.
The certification is actually included for free, with the class itself making up 100% of the cost. Consider the personalized certification and badge an added bonus and proof of your distinguished achievement as a Digital Marketing Specialist.
You’ll find that the test is “satisfyingly difficult.” By that I mean, it’s difficult enough that you need to actually know the materials, but it isn’t tricky or difficult just for the sake of being difficult. That said, to preserve the exclusivity and importance of this designation, we have made the tests challenging. The questions do pertain to our proprietary methodologies, so you shouldn’t expect to pass the test just because you have taken other marketing trainings or courses in the past. This training is different, and the exams will reflect those differences.
