PinoySEO.ph Journey: Before, During, and After the Bootcamp
1. Before I Joined the Bootcamp
The Starting Point
Before embarking on my SEO journey, I had only dipped my toes into the vast ocean of search engine optimization. My knowledge was limited, but my curiosity was boundless. I knew that SEO held the key to unlocking online visibility, but I lacked the practical skills to make a significant impact.
The Quest for Learning
I scoured the internet, devouring articles, watching YouTube tutorials, and attending webinars. Yet, I felt like a wanderer lost in the digital wilderness. The terminology baffled me: meta tags, backlinks, SERPs, and algorithms. I yearned for structured guidance, a mentor who could illuminate the path ahead.
