    Hi
    Are there any prerequisites before taking this course? Im interested in this course and the analytics course and wonder if it makes more sense to take one before the other. Would I get more out of this if I understand google analytics better or visa versa?
    Thanks
    Shannon

      Shannon,

      We have removed the formal prerequisite for this course at the request of professionals who already had a good foundation in Analytics and wanted to take the SEO course.
      However, if you plan to take both courses, it’s better to start with the Analytics course.

    Thanks for your interest in our SEO course, Karen!

    Students will need access to an AdWords account. However, they do not actually have to make any purchases. The assignments are based around what they would do if they were setting it up for CPC, not on actually launching the ads. They can simply create and use the free account and not launch the ads.
