Is SEO difficult to learn or understand? I have seen a lot of tutorials digital marketing but for some reason I feel like SEO is difficult to understand because I don’t get it. Currently studying SEO fundamentals on SEMrush and LinkedIn but still don’t get it. It feels to technical for me and I hope someone can explain it to me in layman terms ---

Hello everyone, I am new in SEO and I am trying to learn the logic of SEO and how to work on SEO to improve the websites. I can suggest @BManor that you can think that as a game. I am thinking like it is Football Manager and I am a manager of a club. While managing a club , you should first focus on the existing team, and you need to figure out which tactics could be better for your team to perform well and sustainable. Same as FM, SEO needs tactics, strategies according to companies and their goals. Therefore, imaging like managing a club makes me easier to understand the SEO logic. I hope you can figure it out and achieve your goals 🙂 ---
