Tired of seeing your brilliant work flop in search engines?

Want a bigger client list, more street cred and an undeniable confidence that what you’re doing is making a difference?

seo like a pro rhiannon carnohan

Does this sound familiar?

You know SEO is a powerful tool that will get your client’s more traffic and sales.

Yet any time they ask about it? You feel sweaty, anxious and flustered. Unsure if what you do know is still relevant, accurate or will actually lead to results.

So you either:

a) Fumble your way through the conversation enough to sell it in and outsource it, or

b) Admit you don’t do SEO and potentially lose your dream client to someone who does.

Even when you do outsource to an expert, it’s expensive, messy and ultimately makes you feel uneasy putting your client’s results (and your reputation) in someone else’s hands.

The whole thing has you feeling…well…kinda like a fraud.

What if I told you…

There was a way to confidently navigate these conversations, land the sale (with an upsell) and blow your client away with the results you’re able to help them achieve with their new SEO-optimised website or copy?

…Without outsourcing to expensive SEO specialists, or relying on free plugins, conflicting advice and a bit of luck to get your clients ranking on Google.

That you don’t need years and years of experience to get real results from SEO.

You actually just need a simple, tried-and-tested method that has been proven to work.

That SEO is a simple up-sell that could earn you thousands on top of the work you’re already doing.

Because it is a valuable asset that delivers ROI for your clients. 

That SEO isn't hard to learn (despite what the experts will have you believe)

It’s actually something you can learn and implement in as little as 8 weeks.

 in case we haven’t met yet…

I’m Rhi, the SEO pro and go-to coach for copywriters and designers who want to make SEO part of their gig.

I teach creatives how to create better outcomes for their clients through the power of SEO. 

 I’ve been doing this SEO thing for a really long time.

I spent five years working in agencies, creating SEO strategies for big clients with big budgets (you know, big brands, including Unilever, Nivea, Telstra… I could go on…).

My job required me to understand SEO like the back of my own hand. There were BIG targets, which meant I had to deliver BIG results. And I did.

But after a while, something wasn’t clicking…

Despite nailing those big targets, I knew deep down there was a better way to do SEO – one that didn’t involve all the industry jargon and sky-high agency fees.

So in 2019 I said “see ya later” to my 9-5 as SEO Director, and turned my attention to helping small businesses.

SEO mentor rhiannon carnohan

But I only had so much time I could give. My books were filled months in advance. If only I could clone my skillset so more small business owners could be supported…

That’s when I realised it.

I was already collaborating with a bunch of copywriters and web designers who were doing beautiful work for their clients… but they all had one thing in common: they were totally intimidated by the topic of SEO, that they would rather hand the responsibility over to me.

I knew these creatives had it in them to integrate SEO into their services (they were already half doing it anyway), they just needed the start-to-finish process laid out for them and the ongoing support and reassurance that they were doing the right thing.

So I began helping those around me to make the difference they really wanted to for their client… and I’ve never looked back!

fast forward to today…

I’ve had the privilege of working with over 150 businesses and mentoring countless web designers, copywriters and marketers…

 Empowering those highly ambitious service providers who are already doing incredible work, by equipping them with the SEO expertise to amplify their impact and deliver even greater results for their clients. Results like these…

2.5 x traffic increase in 3 months

0-600 monthly visits in 10 months

150% YOY traffic growth (seasonal biz)

tpc traffic

38% YOY traffic growth (seasonal biz)

monthly seo traffic chart

Now I’m opening the vault on all my best kept secrets to help service providers create a bigger, better, more applaudable impact for their clients.

 

Some might think it’s risky to give away all my best-kept strategies and methods, but that’s not how I look at it. While I can’t personally work with every small business, I can certainly train a new wave of experts to reach them.

Other SEO courses

Generic advice

All theory, no action

Cover the theory of SEO and send you on your way, without the practical, hands-on guidance you need to actually implement SEO effectively.

Anxiety inducing

Leave you feeling totally confused, overwhelmed and even more unsure that SEO will ever be something you could offer than before you signed up.

    “I went from being unsure about SEO to feeling like I could absolutely offer the service to clients – confidently.”

     Now that I’ve completed the program, I feel so much more confident with SEO! I don’t feel apprehensive about taking on those jobs I used to refer on.

     Rhiannon doesn’t just teach you the basics, though – she draws on her years and years of knowledge and experience and is incredibly open about sharing ALL of that with her students.

    “I feel like I understand the entire picture, have the confidence to offer SEO to my clients and have the knowledge to have in-depth conversations with them about how SEO works.

     This course covers everything and the conversations you have with Rhiannon throughout are so valuable to ask questions and discuss different topics and techniques.

    Besides all the templates and documents you are provided throughout the course, my biggest takeaway is just having the confidence that any question a client asks me about SEO I will have the answer.
