Pittsburgh Steelers rookie George Pickens appeared to be frustrated with the lack of targets on one of the team’s drives in the team’s 19-16 win against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
The wide receiver’s outburst came early in the fourth quarter after wide receiver Diontae Johnson dropped the ball on third down, giving it back to the Falcons. Pickens was seen on the broadcast yelling at coaches to get him the ball.
“Come on, man. Throw me the f—ing ball,” he was seen saying.
It wasn’t clear exactly who Pickens was directing his frustration toward. The former Georgia standout came into the game with 36 catches for 510 yards and two touchdowns. His targets could’ve been increased following Chase Claypool’s trade to the Chicago Bears, but he hasn’t gotten more than six since Week 5.
Pickens had one catch on two targets for two yards in the game.
Kenny Pickett was 16 of 28 with a touchdown pass to Connor Heyward. Pat Freiermuth had three catches for 76 yards and Johnson had five catches for 60 yards. Johnson was targeted 11 times.
Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota was 13 of 24 with 167 passing yards, a touchdown pass and an interception. He threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to MyCole Pruitt.
Steelers kicker Matthew Wright was 4-for-4 on field goals.
Pittsburgh improved to 5-7 and Atlanta dropped to 5-7.
Vendia is hiring. These past few months on HackerNews, we’ve tried to differentiate Vendia through light humour and demonstrating why our team is awesome. In light of the ~50K layoffs in the last 3 months, we recognize the seriousness of the situation and are dropping the snark to focus on our core message: Vendia is hiring talented people to solve hard problems.
We’re looking for senior candidates with a minimum of 8 years experience in the SaaS / IaaS / B2B / Cloud / Distributed Compute / Database space, focusing on Software Engineering, Software Dev Management and Technical Product Management roles. How are we still hiring? At Vendia, we care about our team members and have shunned the hire fast, fire fast mentality, focusing instead on hiring responsibly & intentionally.
Our core value proposition centers around the fact that sharing business data is both critical and fundamentally difficult. We empower customers by enabling them to share data across silos (clouds, geographies, companies), enabling a single view (no more duplication), guaranteeing customers retain compliance, security, privacy and access control of their data. Vendia enables this by solving hard engineering problems: distributed computing & storage, consensus, multi-party writes, immutable ledgers, multi cloud and much more.
Right now, we’re ~45 folks strong. We’re a remote first company, with an office in Seattle and coworking spaces available. We’re willing to sponsor H1B eligible candidates. And we differentiate ourselves from other tech companies with our Kind Humans Policy.
Want to learn more about SEO? There’s a good chance you’ve seen dozens of SEO certification courses, ranging from offerings from top SEO platforms like Semrush to “experts” you’ve never heard of.
If you’re unsure if an SEO certification is right for you—or are struggling to figure out which course is the right fit—you’re in the right place. With more than two decades of search marketing experience under my belt, I’ve seen dozens of SEO certification courses come and go.
I’ve also spent time researching the top courses to make the decision process easier for you.
Before we dive into whether or not you should (or shouldn’t) get an SEO certification, let’s talk about what they are.
What Is An SEO Certification?
An SEO certification is a verification provided by a company verifying that you’ve completed their SEO course. Unlike a college degree or certificate program through a university, SEO certifications are not regulated.
However, they can help you learn the fundamentals of SEO and show employers or clients that you take your education seriously.
What Are Some of The Best SEO Certifications?
The best SEO certifications come from well-established, trusted brands in the marketing industry. That’s because, as I mentioned above, there is no regulation on SEO certifications. However, being certified by a trusted brand shows employers and clients that you’ve put in the effort—and they are more likely to trust that you know what you’re doing.
To help you decide, I’ve analyzed the top SEO certifications from trusted brands, including the content they cover, cost, and pros and cons.
The reality is there’s no one right SEO certification. Someone wondering “What is SEO?” may choose a course aimed at beginners, while someone wanting to up their technical SEO expertise might choose another.
The right SEO certification is the one that works for your knowledge level, budget, and goals.

Why SEO Certifications May Not Be Worth It
SEO certifications can be useful for people who want to learn about SEO; however, they aren’t always worth it. In fact, most expert SEOs you know probably don’t have a certification.
For example, I don’t have an SEO certification. Crazy, right? As I said before, SEO certifications are not regulated by any one agency, so the quality varies from course to course.
Here are a few other reasons SEO certifications may not be worth it:
Most employers won’t care if you have a certificate—they care if you can deliver results.
Classroom learning doesn’t always translate to real-life challenges.
SEO changes fast, meaning some courses might be outdated before you finish them.
Not everything you learn will apply to the site you work on. For example, the SEO strategies used for a small, local bakery are very different from those for a large ecommerce company.
Keep in mind, there is no Google SEO certification program, so all courses are taught by people outside of Google.
That said, SEO certification can help you learn SEO faster in a structured format, which is appealing to many students. They can serve as a foundation for building strong SEO skills.
However, to be successful, you need to pair an SEO certification with real-world experience.
SEO Agencies vs. SEO Certifications
If you’re considering getting an SEO certification, you might wonder if you’re better off hiring an agency. Unfortunately, comparing the two is a bit like comparing apples to oranges.
Here’s why:
Hiring an SEO agency gives you access to SEO experts in all areas of SEO, including local, technical, international, and on-page SEO. Depending on the agency’s size, they may also have PPC experts, content marketers, data analysts, and project managers.
An SEO certification will give you a baseline knowledge of all the different types of SEO, but you won’t have the same knowledge as an expert with 10+ years of experience.
That said, it may be worth it to get an SEO certification even if you end up hiring an agency. You’ll be able to better understand the agency’s recommendations and how they might impact your business.
FAQs
What are the best SEO certifications?
The best SEO certifications come from trusted brands in the SEO industry like Moz, NP University, Semrush, Yoast, and Courses.

While the course material varies from class to class, you can expect to learn: – What SEO is and why it matters – On-page SEO best practices – Local SEO – The basics of technical SEO – Link building – Keyword research

I recommend choosing a course from a trusted name in the industry. You’ll also want to ensure the course covers the topics you want to learn about, and check customer reviews.
Conclusion
Getting a Google SEO certification can launch your career forward; but it can also be a waste of time and money. If you’re just getting started in SEO, a certificate can help you understand the basics or gain more technical knowledge.
Just remember, there is no replacement for hands-on SEO experience.
