If you\u2019re just starting out with SEO, focus on the fundamentals first.<\/p>\n<p>Also, just because you don\u2019t know how to code, doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t be an excellent SEO.<\/p>\n<p>But the learning curve to programming is worth the effort because it benefits your efficiency, wallet, and career. <\/p>\n<p>So, how can you use programming as part of your SEO arsenal? <\/p>\n<p>The first use case: by learning a server-side language, you can automate redundant tasks. <\/p>\n<p>SEO is filled with redundant tasks, like changing title tags. But this can be done programmatically in a fraction of the time. <\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll learn how to do this in the video. <\/p>\n<p>Another reason you should learn at least the basics of programming is to communicate more effectively with your dev team. <\/p>\n<p>Marketers and developers tend to think differently. Marketers often think of the final result, while developers think of all the steps that are required to get to that result. <\/p>\n<p>While it sounds like a match made in heaven, the synergy between the two departments often falters. <\/p>\n<p>The last reason is that understanding how code works can make you a better technical SEO.<\/p>\n<p>Being able to read through source code efficiently can help you identify technical SEO issues that most crawling tools wouldn\u2019t discover.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, which language should you learn? You\u2019ll get some recommendations in the video.<\/p>\n<p>Timestamps:<\/p>\n<p>1:08 Use server-side language for automations<br \/>\n1:52 What is API?<br \/>\n3:57 Conditional functions for easy automations<br \/>\n4:08 Use cases with Zapier<br \/>\n4:51 Communication with the dev team<br \/>\n6:25 Technical SEO and coding<\/p>\n<p>#codingforseo #programming #seo<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to subscribe for more actionable marketing and SEO tutorials.<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/AhrefsCom?sub_confirmation=1<\/p>\n<p>STAY TUNED:<br \/>\nAhrefs \u25ba https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/<br \/>\nYouTube \u25ba https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/AhrefsCom?sub_confirmation=1<br \/>\nFacebook \u25bahttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Ahrefs<br \/>\nTwitter \u25bahttps:\/\/twitter.com\/ahrefs<\/p>\n<div class=\"likes-after-content likes-entity-placement\" id=\"likes-2372389034\"><div id=\"likes-685711817\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/likesinternetmarketing.com\/v\/iceberg\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"IE Yours Free\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/likesinternetmarketing.com\/v\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IE-Yours-Free-728x120-1.png\" alt=\"IE Yours Free\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/likesinternetmarketing.com\/v\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IE-Yours-Free-728x120-1.png 728w, https:\/\/likesinternetmarketing.com\/v\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IE-Yours-Free-728x120-1-300x49.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" width=\"728\" height=\"120\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learning how to code can make you a better SEO and marketer.
