Google SEO Certification
Earn Your SEO Certification
500+ students have earned the ClickMinded SEO certification and massively increased their traffic.
Earn the ClickMinded SEO Certification
Look, you don't need an SEO certification. The best people in the industry don't have them. But we've gotten so many requests for these things that we decided to make one. To date, 500+ people have earned one (60% fail on the first try).
When you finish the course, you'll get the opportunity to sit for and earn the ClickMinded SEO course certification. Finish the course, pass the test and you'll earn your certification (automatically integrates with LinkedIn).
To Earn Your Certification...
1.) Finish the ClickMinded SEO Training Course (6.5 hours)
2.) Get at least an 80% on the final exam (unlimited attempts, 60% of people do not pass on the first try).
Once that's done, you'll earn your certification (like this one), which automatically integrates with LinkedIn.
Heads Up...
1.) Most of the best SEOs don’t have a certification.
2.) SEO certification is not offered by Google or other major search engines, it’s only offered by private companies. These certifications are generally not reliable.
3.) With that said, the goal of the ClickMinded SEO Certification is to create an accreditation that proves students have acquired a moderate level of understanding of search engine optimization. But it really isn't necessary.
4.) There's no "Google SEO Certification", but Google does have a certification program of their own called Google Partners. It's more credible than ClickMinded, for sure, but there's no SEO certification offered (and probably never will be).

Who's the clown teaching this thing?
