SEO Course
The most comprehensive SEO Course to help Google – and your customers – find your business online, quickly and easily.
The SEO School’s proven program takes you step-by-step from newbie to confident pro (without getting lost in the black hole of SEO).
Join nowDoes this SOUND LIKE YOU?
- →You’re a business owner, and you KNOW your product or service can help people, but they just don’t seem to be landing on your website
- →You have a great website that should be ranking well, but it’s underperforming
- →You operate in a specific geographical area and want to target your SEO towards local customers
- →You’re struggling to generate enough leads (and income) and really wish you could get your business in front of the people who need you most
- →You feel like the best-kept secret in your industry: you know you’re great at what you do, yet you don’t get the chance to show your potential customers how awesome you really are
If that all sounds (way too) familiar, don’t worry – you’re not alone. And it doesn’t need to be that way…
Imagine if Google LOVED your site and put you up as one of the TOP results for your industry – every single time someone searched.
That’s the power of strategic, targeted SEO.
Simply by learning how to optimise your website, you can ensure that:
- ✔ Your business appears at or near the top in the organic results for Google searches (they’re the ones that ‘naturally’ come up when you search, and carry more weight in the eyes of consumers than paid ads), resulting in…
- ✔ Way more people finding you online, leading to…
- ✔ More customers, more conversions, and more income.
All of this is possible simply by optimising your business website for Google and employing the principles of smart, strategic SEO.
At the end of this course you will be able to:
Increase your organic website traffic
Get your on-page SEO right, so that every page of your website is optimised and watch as customers who search for your keywords actually land on your website!
Secure a place in Google’s good books
Yep, it’s not only Santa that has a naughty and nice list! You’ll learn how to get on the RIGHT SIDE of Google so you show up for the search terms you’re targeting.

Optimise your keywords
Find the PERFECT keywords for your business to ensure you’re optimising your website for the search terms your potential customers are using.
Convert your visitors into (paying) customers
You’ll discover the UX secrets that ensure your site is as easy to navigate and use as possible, so that your customers have a great experience (and it’s easy to index for Google.)
But THAT'S NOT ALL...
The SEO School will give you the skills and confidence to finally generate leads (and income) from your website, and get the eyes of your potential customers on all the things you sell.
Fact
It doesn’t matter how flashy or fancy your website is; if Google doesn’t know you exist, it means your customers don’t know you exist. If you want to change all this, and stop being the best kept secret in your industry, then it’s time to take action.

See how I've helped others transform their SEO
There’s a prevailing myth when it comes to using your website to attract customers: ‘if you build it they will come’.
Unfortunately, that’s not how it works – at all. Yet way too many business owners still think and act as though it’s true. They pour a tonne of time and effort into setting up their site, only to start scratching their heads when there’s zero response.
Here’s why:
Google can’t find and ‘understand’ your website unless you actively give it the right information and the right signals to rank your website well.
If it doesn’t have those signals for your site, you’re just an unknown quantity as far as Google is concerned – it doesn’t know you, it doesn’t trust you, and it definitely isn’t going to send any customers your way. Even if they’d actually be your perfect match…
YEP, THAT’S RIGHT. YOU COULD BE A PLUMBER IN PERTH, AND HAVE A WHOLE HEAP OF POTENTIAL CLIENTS SEARCHING ONLINE FOR EXACTLY THAT: A PLUMBER IN PERTH, Dog grooming London, Virtual assistant Auckland, accounting, bookkeeping, pest control you name, they’re searching for it.
BUT BECAUSE YOU HAVEN’T GIVEN GOOGLE THE RIGHT SIGNALS AND SHOWN IT THAT YOU’RE THE REAL DEAL, YOUR SITE WILL NOT SHOW UP IN THE SEARCH RESULTS FOR ANY OF THOSE WOULD-BE CUSTOMERS.
IN FACT, AS FAR AS GOOGLE IS CONCERNED, YOUR SITE HARDLY EVEN EXISTS.
That’s why SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is so important: it’s about optimising your website so that Google – as well as other search engines like Yahoo and Bing – can find you, index you, and send you traffic that converts (i.e. real-life, paying customers). Basically, it’s the ideal scenario for any business owner, and this 8-unit intensive course will show you exactly how to do it for your business website.

This intensive SEO Course will teach you the tools and techniques of SEO whether you’re a tradie, a restaurant, a consulting firm, a construction company, whatever – if you want more people to come to your website (and become your customers!) this course will show you how to do it.
Here’s what we’ll be covering…
→MODULE 1

- →What Is Local SEO

- →Check Your Competitors
- →Local Citations
- →Google Reviews

- →Title Tags & Meta Descriptions
- →Tracking Your Keywords

Link Building
Links are the currency of SEO, so it makes sense to try to get as many as you can. But, to get great results, it’s definitely quality over quantity when it comes to long-term sustainable link building. Too much of the wrong type of link can cause your rankings to slip, which is very hard to recover from, so it’s essential that you undertake your link building in the right way. In our final week, we’ll be jumping into:
- →What is Link Building?
- →Everything You Need To Know
- →Building Quality Backlinks

Bonus BLUEPRINT FOR
SEO SUCCESS SPREADSHEET)
The perfect way to keep your SEO on track, using the same framework we use with our agency clients. This mega spreadsheet will keep all you organised.
This is for you if...
- ✔You run (or work at) a small to medium-sized bricks-and-mortar business that targets a localised audience
- ✔You’ve got a business website that’s not performing as well as you’d like it to
- ✔You’re motivated to get amazing results and want to learn how to take control of your website’s conversion rate
- ✔You understand that SEO is not a short-term magic bullet – it’s a long-term solution and you will need to create content and build links on an ongoing basis.
- ✔You’re excited to increase your business’s profile and presence on the web
- ✔Ideally, you’re new to SEO and haven’t tried to optimise your site before (if you have, please check out the note below)
- ✔You’ve got access to the ‘back end’ of your website (or have a web developer who does) and feel comfortable learning how to update your web pages for SEO purposes. (If you’re on our favourite platform, WordPress, we’ve even got step-by-step guides to walk you through the entire process and make everything super easy.)
This is NOT for you if...
- ✗You’re looking for a ‘magic bullet’ for your website, and aren’t prepared to commit to a new way of doing things long-term
- ✗You’ve tried to optimise your website before, and have been penalised by Google. (If this is the case, you might need specialist help to remove the bad backlinks and repair your ranking before you can take this course. Please get in touch through the email address below to find out more)
- ✗You don’t have access to update your website – either through yourself or through your web developer.
Got any questions?
I’m here to help! Please shoot through an email to karen@theseoschool.com and myself (Karen) or a team member will get back to you as soon as possible.
If you choose NOT to use SEO to optimise your website…
- ✗You’re missing out on potentially hundreds – even thousands – of website visitors each day.
- ✗If you’re site isn’t optimised, you’ll continue being the best-kept secret in your local area. In fact, you could be the absolute greatest provider your industry has ever seen, but if Google doesn’t know how to find you, neither will your customers.
- ✗Instead, they’ll end up landing on your competitor’s website – not because that other business is any better than you (in fact, I’m guessing they’re not!) – but because they knew how to optimise their website for Google… and you didn’t.
But can’t I just hire a company do to the SEO for me?
Way too many business owners think they’re doing the right thing for their website by hiring an SEO company without knowing what they’re doing. You have to be really careful if you’re choosing this route – some SEO companies do very little each month, while others build really poor quality links (which can lead to a penalty on Google and cause the client to lose all their rankings).
Custom SEO campaigns can also be expensive, typically costing upwards of $15k per year. (And in some niche industries, you’d really struggle to get a return on your investment when you’re paying that much). But learning how to do SEO yourself (or enrolling an employee to learn it) means that your business can benefit from the increased site ranking, traffic, and hits – not to mention increased customers and income – for a fraction of the cost, and for years and years to come. (It’s a no-brainer, really.)
With the skills you learn in this course, you’ll be able to:
- ✔Appear right in front of people when they need you most
- ✔Increase your Google ranking, so that you’re one of the FIRST businesses that organically pop up whenever someone is searching for your keywords (that means without spending money on AdWords)
- ✔Get more highly targeted traffic to your website
- ✔Save the money you spend on untargeted, ineffective advertising in your local newspaper or rag (hoping against hope that your customers will magically see and remember your ad)
Punch above your weight (even if you’re a small business or sole trader)
Bring in more prospects, which leads to more customers, which leads to (you guessed it) more income.
So all up, in this training program you’ll be getting:
8 highly strategic modules of content, to walk you through the entire process of setting up SEO and then implementing them on your own site
Videos, worksheets, checklists, templates, PDFs and more to download and keep forever
All bonus content (including the glossary and spreadsheets)
One year membership to our exclusive members-only Facebook community (where you’ll get to interact with our highly qualified team aswell as other business owners)
Updates to all content as Google changes, whilst the course is live (so that you’re kept informed on all Google updates)
And – of course – the skills and strategies you need to increase your site’s ranking, traffic and ability to attract (and convert!) potential customers.
