About your instructor
Hi, I'm Deborah Carver, and I'm an independent consultant based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
In The Content Technologist newsletter, I've been writing about keyword research since 2019. As a consultant, I've completed SEO strategy projects since 2013, when Google introduced natural language processing (NLP) to its organic algorithms.
This course is original content I've never published in detail before. I'm demonstrating processes developed and iterated as search engines and device behavior have evolved.
I've executed successful research for clients in more than 40 industries — leading art museums, hyperniche B2B software products, Fortune 500s, environmental organizations, and more.
I believe in learning by doing, so I designed this experience to help you complete a research project while we cover the theory.
And to answer any questions you may have about the process, each course attendee will receive a complimentary one-to-one 15-minute consulting session with me.
