Search engine optimization(SEO) is a vast subject to learn. Many people ask me how long does it take to learn SEO.

There is a simple answer to it:

It depends on your current skills, grasping power, and willingness.

If you have good grasping power, you can learn SEO fast.

If you are passionate enough to learn, you can learn SEO fast.

But, If you are learning because others are learning, you won’t be able to determine that quickly. I have seen many people who are learning SEO because they see more money in this job profile. It is a kind of wrong reason to start learning SEO. It may take ages to learn in this case.

In the long term, you might give up learning SEO, or you just do the given task.

Learning SEO is a challenge for many people. I recently got a message on Facebook Messenger from one of the people who is working for a company and want to understand SEO.

As per my discussion with him, he was not clear on what SEO is. His questions are related to what other people are saying in the community.

As per my observation, He has half-knowledge, and he is very confused between many terms.

So, you must understand the complete SEO before you even jump on the project.

I recommend starting your blog and experiment with all your SEO knowledge. Blogging is the best way to learn SEO.

It may take 15 days for some people and for some people it takes three months. It’s totally fine.

Don’t focus on how long does it.

Focus on how much you can execute your learning.

I hope you got the answer.

I have prepared a method of learning SEO for Free. I hope you will find it helpful.
