Do Lesson Descriptions boost your SEO?

I'm wondering if writing Lesson Descriptions helps with your course SEO when searching within Udemy.

I put out an Excel course about 2 weeks ago, and I truly believe it is better than most courses on the 1st page when searching "Excel". But, as of now, my course is on the 55th page. (I've been promoting to friends, family, and my own social circle.)

Hi @rmathisen
,

Thank you for your post! That's a great question.

Let me share this post with you where we clarified some questions about lecture descriptions on the Course Landing Page.

I hope this helps!

Thank you so much for sharing this post with me.
Your responses are exactly what I was looking for.

I think I have my SEO pretty good in my title, subtitle, and description.

With that said, I do have one more thing I'm wondering.....

To land my course on the first page, any idea if it's more about
1) how many people purchased your course (ex: 40,000 sales), or
2) how many people are purchasing your course on a daily basis at a certain rate (ex: 25 sales per day)

Does the number of reviews come into this equation? (I know the quality of the reviews do)

No, they categorically do not. Udemy has already confirmed this.
