I’ve lived SEO from every angle — from working directly on campaigns, to leading an entire agency department, to training strategists who’ve managed hundreds of accounts. I’ve seen what works, what fails, and what truly moves the needle for businesses. And, if you do at some point need to hire an agency, you’ll know how to vet them and how to tell if the work they’re doing is effective.
Imagine the relief of waking up each morning knowing new leads came in overnight. No more chasing business at networking events. No more waiting on referrals that may or may not come through. No more praying your next ad campaign pays off.
With effective SEO, coaching clients can reliably find your business online, allowing you to attract a steady stream of potential clients without constant outreach.
Instead, business owners are searching for exactly what you offer, finding you online, and reaching out to ask if they can work with you. That’s the power of SEO—helping you reach the first page of search results where your ideal clients are looking. And through my SEO Coaching program, I’ll show you how to build this kind of engine for your own business.

Introduction to SEO
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the foundation of a successful digital marketing strategy. It’s the process of optimizing your website so it appears higher in search engine rankings and LLMs, making it easier for potential clients to find your business online. With so many businesses competing for attention, mastering SEO is essential for standing out in search results and attracting organic traffic that converts.
SEO coaching offers a personalized path to mastering these skills. By working with a professional SEO coach, you gain expert guidance tailored to your unique business goals and challenges. Through targeted SEO strategies, you’ll learn how to improve your website’s visibility, drive more qualified leads, and build a sustainable online presence. Whether you’re new to SEO or looking to refine your approach, SEO coaching empowers you to take control of your digital marketing strategy and achieve measurable results for your business.
Understanding Search Engines
To succeed with SEO, it’s crucial to understand how search engines like Google evaluate and rank websites. Search engines use sophisticated algorithms to determine which sites best match a user’s search query, considering factors like relevance, authority, and user experience. This is where keyword research comes in—by identifying the keywords your target audience is searching for, you can create content that meets their needs and aligns with their search intent.
Understanding search intent is key to developing effective SEO strategies. It’s not just about ranking for popular keywords, but about creating content that genuinely answers the questions and solves the problems your audience is searching for. By aligning your SEO strategy with the way search engines work, you can develop a website that not only ranks well but also delivers real value to your visitors, helping your business grow and thrive online.
Digital Marketing Strategy
A strong digital marketing strategy is essential for any business aiming to succeed online. SEO coaching helps you weave search engine optimization seamlessly into your broader marketing strategy, ensuring that your efforts across social media, content marketing, and other digital channels work together to drive results. With the guidance of a professional SEO coach who has experience in many facets of marketing, you’ll gain a deep understanding of your target audience and learn how to create content and campaigns that resonate with them.
By developing a comprehensive digital marketing strategy, you can boost your online presence, increase engagement, and drive more sales. SEO coaching provides the expertise and support you need to identify new opportunities, refine your marketing approach, and achieve your business goals. Whether you’re looking to grow your brand, reach new customers, or increase revenue, a tailored marketing strategy built on solid SEO principles is the key to long-term success.
Why Work with an SEO Coach?
I’ve been doing SEO professionally for over 14 years and marketing for more than 20. For the majority of my career, I worked at a digital marketing agency, where I spent 14 years as the Director overseeing the SEO team. I oversaw the largest branch of the company — the one responsible for generating the majority of our revenue. If we weren’t getting results for our clients, that branch wouldn’t have been successful.
In that role, I:
- Guided and trained dozens of SEO strategists to deliver results
- Mentored and taught professionals in the field, helping them advance their SEO careers
- Oversaw hundreds of client accounts from a high level while personally managing dozens
- Played a key role in client retention and success, ensuring long-term growth for businesses across industries
- Helped grow the agency from just three people (myself, the founder, and one other employee) to over 30 team members, starting from a few hundred thousand in yearly revenue to about 9 million.
Along the way, I’ve hired, trained, and managed SEO practitioners — and yes, had to let some go when they weren’t the right fit. I have taught SEO to many professionals over the course of my career. I know what it takes to succeed in SEO and how to teach it. More importantly, I know how to identify the industries and business models where SEO works best.
When you choose me as your SEO coach, you’re not just getting theory — you’re getting the practical, real-world experience of someone who’s been doing marketing day in and day out for two decades (SEO specifically for about a decade and a half).
Why is SEO Coaching So Valuable?
SEO isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme. It takes strategy, effort, and consistency. But when done right, it’s one of the most lucrative and scalable marketing channels you can invest in. Through effective SEO coaching sessions, even SEO beginners can learn to implement best practices that lead to measurable SEO results, such as improved rankings, increased conversions, and greater visibility. One of the key benefits is the ability to consistently increase your website’s traffic, which directly impacts your business growth.
Think about the alternatives:
- Waiting around for referrals
- Paying endlessly for ads
- Attending networking events every week
- Buying billboards or traditional ads with questionable ROI
Those things can work — but why not add a channel that brings business to you around the clock? With SEO, people searching for your services are already interested in what you offer. They find you because you’ve positioned yourself as an authority. That means they come into the conversation already trusting you.
And when clients find you — instead of you finding them — you’re in a stronger negotiating position. You’re the trusted expert, not another salesperson begging for attention. That’s when you can start commanding higher prices and building a business that grows on its own momentum.

What You Will Learn in SEO Coaching
This isn’t theory. This is the same framework I’ve used for 14 years as the Director of Client Success managing the SEO team at a fast-growing agency, guiding hundreds of businesses to exponential growth. The framework is designed to adapt to algorithm updates, ensuring your strategies remain effective as search engines evolve. Here’s what my coaching program will teach you: you’ll learn the best practices for SEO, and receive expert guidance to help you master SEO and achieve digital success.
- Philosophy: How to Think About SEO and Incorporate it Into Your Business: Before tactics come mindset. You’ll learn how to view SEO not just as a marketing channel, but as a long-term growth engine woven into your business strategy.
- Setting Up the Basics: Domain, Hosting, CMS, Email: Technical setup doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Establishing your web presence is the first step. I’ll walk you through how to get your domain, web hosting, content management system (CMS), and email configured the right way from the start — avoiding mistakes that can haunt your business later.
- Keyword Research: Learn how to uncover the search terms your ideal customers are actually using, how to prioritize which keywords will bring real business instead of empty traffic, and how to use keyword research to write content that aligns with user needs.
- Site, Menu, Page & URL Structure: We’ll map out how to organize your site so both humans and search engines can navigate it with ease. This sets the stage for long-term SEO success by supporting on page SEO techniques such as optimizing internal linking and content structure.
- Metadata Fundamentals: Titles, meta descriptions, headings, and URLs aren’t just technical fields — they’re your first impression in search results. I’ll show you how to nail the basics so you stand out and win more clicks.
- Content : Learn how to create high-quality website content that ranks and converts. We’ll cover depth, keyword density, structure, media usage, and most importantly, how to integrate EEAT (Expertise, Experience, Authority, Trust) into every piece of content. You’ll also learn how to make your content more helpful and relevant for users, which is essential for SEO. Great website content can naturally attract valuable external links, boosting your search engine rankings. You’ll also learn how to use AI as a helper — not a crutch.
- Local SEO: Google Map Results: If you’re a local service business, showing up in Google Maps is a game-changer. I’ll teach you how to optimize your Google Business Profile and local citations to dominate map pack results. I’ll also show you the other ways to improve your local signals to strengthen your position in map results.
- SEO for the Age of AI: Search is changing fast. I’ll show you how to position your business to appear not only in Google, but also in AI-driven results like ChatGPT and AI overviews.
- WordPress Plugins You Need: WordPress is powerful — but only if you use the right tools. I’ll show you which plugins are essential for SEO, speed, and security, and which ones to avoid.
- Analytics and Tracking: SEO without tracking is like flying blind. You’ll learn how to use Google Analytics and Search Console to measure what’s working and double down on strategies that drive growth.
- SEO Tools You Can’t Do Without: From Ahrefs to Screaming Frog, you’ll get a practical walkthrough of the essential tools, how to use them, and how to prioritize their insights.
- Website Design & Calls to Action: SEO isn’t just about traffic — it’s about conversions. You’ll learn how to design pages with built-in calls to action that guide visitors into becoming leads and customers.
- Image Optimization: Learn how to create, format, and optimize images for SEO, speed, and accessibility — turning visuals into an asset instead of a liability.
- Onsite & Technical SEO: I’ll teach you the essentials of site speed, crawlability, indexing, and internal linking so your site is technically sound and competitive.
- Link Acquisition Basics & Strategies: Links are still one of the most powerful ranking signals (and they matter for AI results). I’ll show you ethical, effective strategies to earn links that boost your authority.
- Competitor Audits: You’ll learn how to dissect competitors’ strategies, uncover what’s working for them, and adapt it to outpace them.
- Content Build Out Strategies & Tactics: Not all content is created equal. We’ll cover multiple approaches — blogs, FAQs, guides, service pages, how to utilize videos for search, how to show up in all the geographic locations your business can pull business from — and how to use each to build topical authority.
- Page Speed Strategies: A fast site isn’t optional. You’ll learn why page speed matters, how to test it, and practical steps to improve it.
- Schema & Micro-Format Markup: Structured data is how you communicate context to search engines. I’ll walk you through schema markup so your content can earn rich snippets and visibility boosts.
