Yes, Benson, you will definitely need it along with the training you are going through here at WA. Enjoy.
New to SEO! I have trouble understanding how SEO works. This guide is helpful. Yes I am not a newbie to WA. FYI, my site has no content yet. I haven't done a thing with it due to all of my recent health challenges that put me on hold with building out my website. This guide from Google is what I need!
Yes, Isaiah, it is a great source of important information directly from Google's perspective. I think we can all learn a lot from it.

Thanks for this info. I have bookmarked this page for future reference.
I compared what Google recommends and found they correlate exactly to what Jay has taught on his webinars. Good to know.
We must make it a habit to follow these practices every time we write and publish content. This is what levels the playing field.
Cheers.

Yes, Jay does a good job of trying to keep us up to date but it never hurt to go directly to the source, Google.
I agree. I didn't know Google published such a document. I have bookmarked your post to get back to the source whenever I wish.
Cheers.
