SEO training you can do at your own pace

Non-wanky SEO Training for your UK website

because you’re perfectly capable of doing your own SEO, you’ve just been told you’re not

You’ve heard SEO is complicated. That you need to hire an expensive specialist. That it’s dark magic only a select few can practise. Maybe you’ve even paid someone who made it feel that way. It doesn’t have to be like that. This is SEO explained by someone who’d rather you understood it than depended on her.

Why SEO courses feel like they’re written for someone else

Most SEO training is either so basic it tells you to “use keywords”, or so technical it assumes you already know what a canonical tag is. Neither helps someone with a business to run, a website they mostly built themselves, and about an hour a week to spend on this.

SEO isn’t hard. It’s just been explained badly, usually by people who benefit from you not getting it.

Dark magic

An “expert” who couldn’t explain what they did, so you assumed you couldn’t do it.

Jargon first

A course that opened with a glossary you needed a glossary for.

Theory, no doing

You finished it knowing what SEO is and still didn’t touch your website.

One format only

Four hours of video when you’d rather read, or vice versa.

No one to ask

You got stuck on lesson six and there was nobody to ask.

The upsell

The course was the warm-up for the £3,000 mastermind.

What the Non-wanky SEO course covers

It walks you through SEO in the order you’d do it on a real website, from working out what people search for, to fixing what you’ve already got, to writing what comes next.

Finding your keywords

What people type, what they mean by it, and how to tell a good keyword from a busy one.

Keyword research

The free and paid tools, how to use them without drowning, and when to stop.

Auditing what you’ve already got

Which pages are working, which are dead weight, and what to do with the AI-written stuff.

Matching keywords to pages

One keyword, one page, no fighting yourself in Google.

On-page SEO

Titles, headings, descriptions, links, and getting Google to notice you’ve changed something.

Content planning

What to write next and why, so the blog stops being random.

Technical SEO

Speed, security, crawlability and indexing, explained so you can do it or brief someone who can.

AI search

What ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI answers mean for your site, without the panic.

Google Business Profile

The local bit, because for a lot of businesses it matters more than the website does.

Learn your way

How the Non-wanky SEO course works

Every lesson is available as video, audio and text, so you learn the way you learn, on the train, in the bath, wherever. Monthly group calls if you want to ask something out loud. Checklists and homework so you’re doing SEO to your own site as you go, not just watching someone else do it. And me on the end of an email when you get stuck.

  • Video, audio and text for every lesson, pick whichever suits you
  • Monthly group calls, optional, come when you need them
  • Checklists and homework tied to your own website
  • Email and in-course access to me, not a support desk
  • Work through it at your own pace, no cohort to keep up with

Start with the free on-page SEO toolkit

Not ready for the whole course? Already know your keywords and just want to get on with it? The on-page SEO toolkit used to cost £200. It’s now free, because more people fixing their own websites is good for everyone.

  • A walkthrough of optimising a page once you know your keyword
  • Page titles, headings and descriptions, done properly
  • Where the keyword goes and where it doesn’t
  • Internal linking that helps rather than confuses
  • Getting the page into Google Search Console
  • Checklists you’ll use again on every page after this
  • No card details, no catch
  • If you like how I explain things, the course is the same but bigger

Non-wanky SEO course questions

How much is the Non-wanky SEO course?

£750 in one payment, or three payments of £250, or ten monthly payments of £75.

What if I can’t afford that right now?

Start with the free on-page SEO toolkit. It’s a proper chunk of the course, not a teaser, and you’ll get real results from it. Come back for the rest when it makes sense.

What’s in the course?

Everything from finding your keywords through to technical SEO and AI search, in video, audio and text. Monthly group calls, checklists, homework and access to me by email and in the course discussions.

What’s the difference between the course and the toolkit?

The course is the whole walkthrough, from working out what to target through to technical SEO and content planning. It’s mahoosive. The toolkit is one slice of it: optimising a page once you already know your keyword. Straight to the doing, no distractions.

Is it live or self-paced?

Self-paced. You work through it when you like. The monthly group calls are there if you want them, but nothing falls apart if you miss one.

Do I need any paid tools?

No. There’s a section on the free accounts you’ll want set up, and the paid tools are mentioned as options, not requirements.

How do I get started?

Head to nonwankyseo.com, pick the course or the toolkit, and you’re in. Still got questions, grab me on LinkedIn or send me an email.

Ready to do your own SEO?

Nobody’s going to make you feel stupid, nobody’s going to sell you a mastermind at the end, and nobody’s going to pretend it’s harder than it is. It’s just SEO, explained properly.
