You're doing everything you can to run a great local business…
but online? It feels like you're invisible.
You search for your own services — and your competitors show up instead.
You're not in the Map Pack, you're not on page one, and you're not sure why.
You've wasted time (and money) on marketing that went nowhere.
Ads, agencies, social posts — nothing seems to bring steady results.
You're overwhelmed by conflicting advice and tech jargon.
SEO, backlinks, keywords… it all sounds like a foreign language.
You know your business could grow — if only the right people could find you.
You're not looking for gimmicks. Just a clear path that works.
If that hits home, this course was built for you.

This training is perfect for local business owners — like plumbers, salon owners, tradespeople, or anyone who wants to attract more nearby customers by improving their visibility on Google. You don’t need any tech or SEO experience to benefit.
Yes, it’s 100% free. No hidden costs. No credit card required. I created this course to help local businesses succeed online — and to build trust with future clients. If you find it valuable and want more help later, great. If not, you’ll still walk away with a proven roadmap.
Many students see changes in their visibility within a few weeks — especially once they complete the Google Business Profile and website optimisation steps. Of course, results vary depending on your starting point and how consistently you apply the lessons.
No — but having one will help! The course walks you through why a simple, optimised site can massively boost your local SEO. If you don’t have a website, you’ll learn how to get started quickly (even on a budget).
Absolutely. Everything is broken down into simple, step-by-step instructions. No jargon, no fluff. You’ll get easy to follow videos and practical action items — even if you’re not “techie.”
Most free SEO advice is either outdated, overly technical, or written for big businesses. This course is built specifically for local businesses and shows exactly what works in your area — based on real-world experience, not theory.
