Understand – learn – apply

SEO Training

Friendly, practical SEO training for people who don’t need to be an expert, but want to understand what they’re doing without drowning in jargon.

SEO can feel like a world of jargon, guesswork and conflicting advice. The SEO training I offer is designed to make it feel a lot less mysterious.

Whether you want to understand the basics so you can make improvements yourself, support your in-house marketing team, or simply have more confident conversations with your SEO consultant, this training gives you a practical grounding in how search works and what you can do to help your website perform better.

No baffling acronyms without explanation. No pretending SEO is magic. Just clear, useful training that helps you understand what matters, what doesn’t, and where to focus your efforts.


Who SEO training is for

SEO training can be useful if you have the time, interest and appetite to be more involved in your website’s visibility.

Small Business Owners

If you want to understand the basics of SEO and feel more confident making improvements to your own website.

Internal Marketing Teams

If your team needs to build SEO knowledge so they can make better content, website and campaign decisions.

Marketing Managers

If you want to work more effectively with an SEO consultant, understand the recommendations you’re given, and ask better questions.

Web Developers

If you want to offer clients an SEO service that goes beyond strong technical foundations when building or maintaining their websites.

What you’ll gain

This training is not designed to turn you into an SEO expert overnight. True expertise comes with experience, testing, problem-solving and exposure to lots of different websites over time. But it will help you build a strong working understanding of SEO.

In short, you’ll know what you’re looking at, what questions to ask, and what actions are likely to make a difference.

Understand what helps a website become more visible in traditional and AI-influenced search.
Learn simple optimisation techniques you can apply with confidence.
Recognise common technical SEO issues, even if you need a developer to fix them.
Understand what performance data is telling you.
Make better decisions about content, keywords and website improvements.
Feel less overwhelmed by SEO advice, tools and terminology.

Will you be an SEO expert after the training?

No – and quite frankly, I wouldn’t trust anyone who promised you that!

SEO expertise takes time. It comes from working through different challenges, seeing what happens in the real world, and learning how search behaviour, websites and algorithms interact over time.

What this training will give you is a clear, practical foundation. You’ll understand the core principles, recognise common opportunities and problems, and feel more confident making informed decisions about your website.
That’s often the most important first step.

How the training works

In my experience, trying to absorb huge amounts of SEO information in one go rarely works. It is far easier to learn when the training is broken into manageable sessions, with time between them to reflect, ask questions and try things out.

That’s why I’ve developed a modular SEO training course delivered over five sessions. Each session lasts between one hour and 90 minutes, with plenty of time for questions, discussion and practical examples.

The training works well remotely via Teams, so you don’t need to travel or gather everyone in one place.

And you won’t need to spend the whole session frantically scribbling notes. Each trainee receives a full copy of the training material for every session, including accompanying notes, so you can revisit the information afterwards.

Why do I offer SEO Training?

People sometimes ask why I offer SEO training at all. After all, doesn’t teaching people how SEO works mean they might need less help from me?

Honestly, I don’t see it that way.

First, I genuinely enjoy helping people understand SEO. There’s a lovely moment when something clicks — when it stops feeling like an unlockable magic box and starts to make sense.

Second, informed clients make brilliant SEO partners. When you understand what we’re doing, why it matters, what’s realistic and how long good SEO can take, the whole process becomes more productive.

Sometimes training helps people feel confident enough to handle more SEO activity themselves. Sometimes it helps them realise that good SEO needs more time and resource than they have available. Either outcome is useful, because it leads to better decisions.

Whether you want to learn enough SEO to have a go yourself, support your team, or build a stronger working relationship with your SEO consultant, I’d be very happy to welcome you into my world and share what I know.
