SEO IS A GIANT PAIN IN THE BUM, RIGHT?

But it doesn’t have to be

We’d all love to believe the ‘if we build it they will come’ myth, but I’m sorry to tell you, it just ain’t true!

If you really want humans to find your awesome business, you’ve got to push it right to the top in the organic search results.

And to do this you need SEO.

But SEO is impossible to learn. Right? Not only is it stuffed full of technical gobbledygook, it changes every five minutes. And the so-called SEO experts never seem to agree.

Don’t worry. I believe ANYONE can learn the basics of Search Engine Optimisation, which is why I created The Recipe for SEO Success Course.

This 7-module SEO Group Coaching Course shows you my tried and tested SEO tactics that can deliver higher rankings, more traffic and more conversions.

It’s a practical, easy to understand SEO Course that gives you the confidence to manage your own SEO. Without the need for expensive experts.

Kate Toon

You could pay around $3000 a month for quality SEO services,

or you could learn to DIY.

ALL THE SUPPORT YOU NEED

Unlike lots of other SEO courses I am NOT going to leave you to go it alone.

I’m with you every step of the way, to answer questions, explain topics in more detail and give you one-on-one advice.

I actually limit the number of students on the course so that I can help you individually.

The course includes access to 10 group Q&A calls and it’s that personal attention that all of my students say, makes this course truly special.

Try Googling ‘SEO Copywriter” – be sure you search in incognito mode. If you’re not in Sydney try Googling ‘SEO Copywriter Sydney’.

You’ll see that my copywriting website occupies the top local spot and the top two organics.

MY SEO SUCCESS STORY

I worked in advertising for nearly two decades in some of the biggest ad agencies. (Think Ogilvy and the like.)

When I happily found myself ‘with child’ more than eight years ago, I realised I could either stay in the agency world and never see my son, or give it all up.

As a contractor I suddenly found myself five months pregnant, out of a job, and with no maternity leave pay. Eeeep!

But then I had an idea.

Why not set myself up as a copywriter?

My husband had just set up his own business with my help, and so I thought, “Hey, why not me?”

I built myself a little WordPress website, and waited for the work to flood in. There was just one problem, or rather about 20,000 of them. When I typed ‘copywriter’ into Google, oodles and oodles of other copywriters appeared.

How could I:

  • Make my website appear at the top of the rankings?
  • Blast my competitors out of the Google ocean?
  • Get willing customers to visit my site and buy my services?

The only way to boost my business was to get my head around the dark art of Search Engine Optimisation. So I did.

I now rank on the first page for more than 160 different keywords. (But hey, who’s counting?)

I’m in the top three for 114 terms, and recently ranked number one for the term ‘Copywriter’ on Google.com.au. (If you’re not impressed then you should be. It’s bloody hard to rank well for a single term.)

And I did it all:

  • With little (or no) budget and no outside help
  • While being the primary breadwinner in our family and having to spend most of my time earning money
  • As a sleep-deprived mum with a toddler to care for, a dog to walk, a house to clean, meals to cook, and a husband to occasionally grunt at

(I even found a little ‘me’ time along the way to run a marathon and publish a book or two.)

And I realised that if I can do it, so can anyone else.

Since then I’ve helped big corporates and many small businesses win the SEO war. I’ve written SEO-friendly copy, created engaging content, technically audited a few hundred websites, and run heaps of training workshops. I’ve survived website hacks, damaging reviews from competitors, algorithm updates, writer’s block, negative SEO campaigns and more.

Which means I’m perfectly placed to tell you all my SEO secrets. So let’s get started.

SAVE MONEY ON YOUR SEO

​The average (GOOD) SEO company would charge an ecommerce store or serviced-based business around $3,000 per month to manage their SEO campaign.
(Although 20k plus a month is not unheard of).

learn seo online

So $3000 a month is:

  • $36,000 a year
  • Over five years that’s a whopping $180,000!

Why spend all that hard-earned money on external humans, when you can invest in becoming an SEO expert yourself for a fraction of the price?

This course gives you

  • Access to 10 group Q&A calls (valued at $3000)
  • 2 bonus calls with guest experts (valued at $1000)
  • A private Facebook Study Group page membership for 12 weeks (valued at $2400)
  • 132+ training videos (valued at $5600)
  • 41+ templates and worksheets (valued at $1650)
  • The ability to technically SEO Audit your site (valued at $500)
  • The ability to create your own keyword research reports (valued at $500)
  • The ability to backlink audit your site (valued at $500)
  • Ecommerce or Local SEO bonus courses (valued at $1000 each)
  • Ongoing access to content (PRICELESS)
  • Ongoing access to all future updates (BLOOMIN’ AMAZING!)

That’s a total value of: $16,150

(But don’t worry, the course costs a lot less than that!)

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

How is your SEO Course different to other SEO Courses?

To put it simply, I’ve proven my success at SEO, and I’ve done it the hard way.

Like you, I’ve been at the bottom of the SEO mountain, and I made it to the top.

And now I want to tell you how I did it. Here are some other reasons why my SEO course is different:

  1. More than 1461 people have graduated from this course.
  2. I have more testimonials than any other SEO course on the market.
  3. My students have proven ranking and conversion results.
  4. I’m an experienced trainer who regularly runs workshops for big-name brands and small businesses – this includes eHarmony, Amex, and the like.
  5. I’m an in-demand SEO speaker at global events, respected by my peers.
  6. I have a highly successful SEO podcast where I get the latest news from SEO experts around the world.
  7. I go the extra mile and provide resources and tools for you to enjoy.
  8. I offer not only the appetiser style front-end SEO advice, but also the meat and potatoes of the technical side.
  9. I’m crazy enthusiastic about SEO, and that enthusiasm will rub off on YOU.

By the end of my course, you’ll love SEO as much as I do.

 

The course is not some short, five or six hour thing, it’s a fully comprehensive resource that you can refer to for many years to come.

And unlike many other online courses, I won’t leave you to ‘go it alone’.

You’ll get weekly support via the Q&A calls, as well as 12 weeks access to the Facebook study group. So you can ask all your questions and get tailored advice.

What is The Recipe for SEO Success Course?

The Recipe for SEO Success Course is a seven-module online coaching course that demystifies Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and gives you the skills to successfully optimise your small business website.

The Course is aimed at entrepreneurs, small businesses, developers, designers, copywriters, bloggers and anyone else who wants to get to grips with Google.

Is there homework?

On average you’ll get two worksheets a week to complete. But don’t worry, I won’t be marking them. They’re a practical, fun and easy way to help you fully understand each module. Of course, the more you put into the course, the more you’ll get out of it. But the level of effort involved is entirely up to you

When was the course last updated?

I update the course regularly, as the world of SEO is constantly changing. The course was last updated in Jan 2023 and has been updated 12 times since it launched in 2014.

And don’t forget, you get ongoing access to all updated materials.

Can I do the course at my own pace?

Yes. The course is structured across 12 weeks and you’ll receive email prompts that guide you through this.

However, these are just prompts and there’s no pressure to stick to this format. If you want to take it at your own pace, that’s fine too. I give you lifetime access to all the materials because I know that life sometimes gets in the way!

What is the course start date for the February 2024 launch?

The first module will open on 19th February 2024. But there’s plenty to be getting on with before then.

Who shouldn’t sign up?

This is a foundation-level course, with a sprinkling of advanced content. If you’re already an SEO expert, the course probably isn’t right for you.

How does the Course run?

The Recipe for SEO Success Course runs for seven weeks, with a content module published each week. You access the content by logging into the password-protected member area. Each module contains:

    • A number of training videos
    • Several worksheets, checklists, roadmaps and downloadable DIY templates
    • Optional material you can complete, if you have the time

You also get access to:

  • Access to 100s of useful links and tools
  • Access to the private Facebook Study Group
  • 10 one-hour group Q&A calls
  • 2 bonus calls

The optional Facebook Study group and weekly Q&A calls are not 100% necessary for the course, but do provide extra support and an opportunity to ask questions.

How long can I access the Course?

You have ongoing access to all course materials.

Sign-up price also includes:

  • 12 weeks access to the Facebook Study group, after which you can choose to join my subscription-based Digital Marketing Collective group for extra support
  • Access to 10 Q&A calls and Q&A call archives.

Note: If for any reason we have to terminate the course offering, you’ll be given 12-months’ notice of the site closure.

What if I don’t like the course?

If you’ve worked through the first module of the course and haven’t gained any value from it (or just don’t think the course is for you), I’ll happily refund your payment minus a $100 admin fee.

Refunds must be requested within 14 days of the course starting.

No refunds are provided after the first 14 days, and we do not provide pro-rata refunds for cancelled accounts. After the initial refund period expires, we will continue to process any remaining payments (if you have selected a payment plan option).

What kinds of people sign up to the Recipe for SEO Success Course?
The course is suitable for anyone who wants to get to grips with Search Engine Optimisation or manage their own SEO.

 

What kind of business industries does this course suit?

We’ve had students from all kinds of industries take The Recipe for SEO Success Course.
Here’s just a selection:

Can you guarantee I’ll get to the number one spot in Google by doing your Course?

Nope, I’m afraid not. This course isn’t about magical fixes or false promises. It’s about helping you truly understand how Search Engines, such as Google, tick and how you can improve your chances of ranking in a safe, non-cheaty way.

This is a white (chef’s) hat SEO course – no black hat trickery allowed.

I can’t make this round. When will the course run again?

After this round (June 2023), the course will likely launch again in February 2024.

I don't have a website, can I still do the course?

Yes, many people who take The Recipe for SEO Success eCourse don’t yet have a website.

However, I would highly recommend buying the How to build an SEO-friendly website course first.

It should be noted that some areas of the course will only be applicable once you have a website, such as setting up Google Analytics and auditing your site

So, you can come back and complete these tasks when your site is ready.

Who runs the Course?

The Recipe for SEO Success eCourse is run by me, Kate Toon. I’m an award-winning SEO copywriter and SEO consultant with almost two decades of experience in all things advertising, digital and writing. Originally from the UK but now based just outside Sydney.

I have worked with big brands such as eHarmony, Curash and Kmart. And I’ve helped countless small businesses produce great content and improve their copywriting and SEO. I’m also the founder of The Clever Copywriting School and The Recipe for SEO Success eCourse.

 

 

 

I’m not very techy. Can I still do the Course?

Yes, absolutely.

 

This course is for beginners, and I explain everything in a non-jargony way to make it easy for non-technical types to get their heads around. You can also ask questions in the Q&A calls and in the Facebook study group page.

However, it helps if you have a basic understanding of the Internet and the platform your website uses (WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, Joomla, etc).

Some of the more technical tasks explained on the course (Module 2A and 2B) may require the help of a developer depending on your level of skill. I have a great, affordable one that I can recommend.

How are the group Q&A calls run?

OVERVIEW

How many: There are ten official Q&A calls during the course and two bonus calls.

Generally these are at

1pm and 6pm Sydney time.
On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

All calls are scheduled according to SYDNEY AEST/AEDT time. Please use this time converter tool if you’re in another time zone.

  • How long: Calls run for 60 minutes
  • Software: We use Zoom to manage the Q&A calls, and you’ll find instructions on how to install it yourself on the Q&A call page.

FORMAT

  • Kate will answer up to 20 Questions on each call, pre-submitted via the site.
  • Kate will answer max two questions per person on each call.
  • Kate will not answer questions that are already covered in the FAQs.
  • Kate will not answer detailed site-specific questions.

RECORDING

  • All Q&A calls are recorded and uploaded to this page 24-48 hours after the recording.
  • All questions are recorded and time-stamped in a transcript below the recording, so if you can’t make the call, you can watch the replay and jump back to where your question was answered.

You’ll receive a schedule of calls in the introduction to the course.

 

How many hours per week should I set aside for the Course?

I know you probably don’t have a whole heap of time to spare for SEO, which is why I’ve broken the course into bite-sized chunks. Ideally, you should allow 2-3 hours a week to digest the course materials, which includes:

  • Watching the training videos
  • Reading and completing your SEO worksheets
  • Enjoying the bonus materials, such as expert interviews
  • Taking part in the group Q&A calls
  • Asking questions in the Facebook Study Group (as well as networking with others)

This is all the learning side of the course.

The implementation side – putting what you’ve learned into practice – will of course depend on how much work needs to be done. But the whole point of this course is for you to learn at your own pace, and at a time that suits you.

And with lifetime access to the materials, you can come back to them at any point in the future.

Can I email / call / message you with my questions during the course?

No. All questions relating to the course must be submitted via the question page within the site and they will be answered in the group Q &A calls. I also do not commit to answering questions via the Facebook group.

Why? Well, SEO questions usually don’t have yes/no answers – the group calls give me a chance to dig deeper, ask more questions and do on-screen demos. I’m afraid I cannot enter into private email correspondence, or take phone calls regarding your individual site issues.

I hate Facebook can I still do the course?

The SEO study group is run using Facebook groups. I’d highly recommend you joining the Facebook Study group, but the choice is entirely up to you.

Does my site need to be on WordPress to take the course?
While I highly recommend using WordPress as your website platform, I understand you may have opted for another platform.

But while a few of the tips and plugins on the course are WordPress-specific, the overall course teaching can be applied to ANY website or platform.

Does the course grow as my SEO knowledge expands?

While I may update the course materials from time to time to ensure they are current, I do not, at this stage, have plans to offer any advanced modules. If you want to continue your learning, join the Digital Marketing Collective.

How do I access the Course?

As soon as you’ve paid the course registration fee, via PayPal or stripe, you’ll be asked to register.

When your registration is complete, you can log into our membership portal.

The material will be available weekly from the published start date.

How long is the payment plan?

The payment plan is broken up into three chunks over six weeks.

  • First payment is payable on registration
  • Second payment three weeks later
  • Third payment three weeks after that.

If you fail to make your second or third payment, your access to course materials will be revoked and the karma guinea pigs will be on your tail FOREVER!

Is the course mobile and tablet friendly?

Yes, the course is fully responsive and accessible on all devices.

What types of platforms do Recipe students use?
I’m often asked if the big course is just for WordPress folk. No, it’s not; we’ve had people on all platforms take the course.

I’ve done a rough breakdown in the pie chart below.

I’ll be honest, it’s much EASIER to do SEO on WordPress sites, but there’s oodles you can achieve on other platforms too.

 

I don’t live in Australia, can I still do the course?

Yes, we’ve had students from all over the world take the course and it’s suitable for any English-speaking person (even if English is not your first language).

I use examples mainly from Australia in the course, but the teachings and methods work for all locations.

We also schedule at least half of the Q&A calls so that they suit students in Europe and America.
