Chapter 7. Explore Indexing and Webmaster Tools/Search Console
Abstract
Before you do anything, let’s take a moment to return to the “How Search Works” video by Matt Cutts. If you haven’t seen it yet, you should, and even if you’ve seen it before, it will be a helpful refresher for this particular chapter.

Chapter 8. Keeping Up with Changes
Abstract
This is perhaps the shortest chapter of any book I’ve written, and the main point is to emphasize that one of the parts of SEO is to keep up with changes.

Chapter 9. Exploring SEO Certification
Abstract
As you’re learning SEO—whether you are adding this skill to an existing job, or you’re learning this skill to boost your chances of getting a job—certification is something to seriously consider. In teaching the core areas of digital marketing, I’ve tried to integrate certification into as many classes and books as possible, and SEO is no different, although the “certification landscape” is not as clear as with search engine marketing, where you have a clear, recognized certification with AdWords, and with Web Analytics, where Google Analytics is free, accepted, and well-known.
