I would google “entity SEO”, there are some good tutorials there. A lot of what you’re going to come across is the old style “keyword SEO”, which is almost getting irrelevant nowadays. Focus on entity SEO instead.

if you’ve already watched the Ahrefs intro, you’re on the right track. a solid next step is combining one structured resource with ongoing updates. The Art of SEO or SEO for Dummies are good for fundamentals, then follow Google Search Central on YouTube to understand how search actually works from their side. for practical thinking, Brian Dean and a few SEO case study channels help connect theory to real pages. avoid course overload early, focus on understanding how content, intent, and technical basics fit together.
