Senuto’s SEO Training from Gregory Rifleman (PapySEO).

PapaSEO. The best-selling SEO course of recent years. It has Over 1,800 customers from almost 500 cities in Poland and 73 course episodes lasting over 26 hours. That’s more than 950 positive reviews on the web and social media. Such is papaSEO or Grzesiek Strzelec, known to all.

Who knows him, knows that he always tries to set the bar higher than the market. Such was the case with his experience at Onet or TVN as head of SEO, such was the case with the SEO tour training, in which he traveled all over Poland, such is the case with SEO Poland.

His course is aimed at people just starting out in SEO but also seasoned professionals. Each episode includes some basics, but also advanced advice from his experience. And that’s what his clients appreciate most.
