SEO Training

In 2024, Max Your Web has pivoted to specialise in SEO training, leveraging my experience in educating and empowering clients.

Does your business have the knowledge to deliver your SEO plan?

Would learning new skills help

  • Your business be more efficient by implementing the SEO itself?
  • You to manage your in-house team/agency to drive better results?

I can deliver highly practical training:

  • Day-to-day Implementation - from the hands-on work done myself on my own websites.
  • SEO Campaign Management - from my role as 'Head of SEO' at Artemis Marketing.

I teach from hands-on practical experience and results to help your business to implement what really matters.



SEO Support

Have your marketing activities ever gone off track?

Would it be helpful to have someone available to answer your questions?

Would having someone periodically reviewing work done help hold your team or agency to account?

Having managed a team of SEO’s working with multiple clients, I have learned there are key times that make or break an SEO campaign:

  • The beginning – deciding on the right SEO strategy and plan.
  • Mini monthly reviews – reviewing the work done, any fluctuations in results, new priorities, and any possible changes to the plan of work.
  • Six monthly reviews – reviewing in detail how the campaign is progressing, and if strategic changes are required.
  • Day-today-support – just being there to answer those niggling questions, to ensure people do not get stuck on a particular point. It is overtime, that if these issues do not get dealt with, then large problems can arise.

I can be there, to help you or your team, to ensure you can get the day-to-day and strategic support you need to ensure your SEO campaign does not go off track.



SEO Strategy

Do you know the best strategy to reach your SEO targets and beat your online competitors?

Your strategy and action plan will be drawn up based on the outcome of your website and competitor audit reports.

Do you employ an SEO agency? Do you have an in-house team? Do you have neither?

The strategy will take into account the expertise and resources your business has available, so only work that is realistic to do will be recommended. If there are knowledge gaps that could be filled by training, this will be identified.

Based on many years of effective SEO strategy for his own websites and numerous clients, Jon will help you develop a practical and achievable strategy for your business.



Helping You to Get Found

When people search for your products, services, or brand name in Google, is your website near the top?

Search engine optimisation is not easy, but with the right strategy and input, top results are possible, even in the most competitive markets.

Jon has achieved this personally in the highly competitive UK loans market where his websites regularly compete toe to toe with moneysupermarket.com & gocompare.com.

Whether you have suffered a drop in search traffic, know your organic results are substandard or are launching a new website or brand, Jon can help.



SEO Audits

Do you know if something is holding your website back or why your competitors are outranking you?

This is what a website audit will find out.

Firstly, we will discuss your targets, identify your primary keywords, and get to know your online competitors.

Then I will have a deep look at your website to find out if there is anything holding it back; this would normally include:

The results will form the basis of your SEO strategy which maps out all the actions required.

3Improving Underperforming Websites
Is your website struggling in search rankings? I can identify why and teach you how to fix it. My comprehensive SEO audit covers past work, competitors, and the latest Google updates, providing a detailed action plan.
4Experiencing a Drop in Rankings?

Ranking drops can be alarming, but I can guide you through it. I'll explore:
Search Engine AI Changes**: Often temporary, these fluctuations are part of how search engines learn.

  • Algorithm Updates: I'll help you navigate these changes to regain your rankings.
  • Webmaster Errors: Common and usually quick to fix, I'll identify and rectify these mistakes.
5Hit with a Google penalty?
I’ll help you identify the cause and recover your rankings, whether it’s a backlink issue or something more complex. My training includes discussing your site's history and potential causes for penalties.
6Do You Implement SEO Work?
Currently, I'm not implementing SEO on client websites. My focus is on my own projects, but I offer support by answering questions and conducting regular check-ups. The implementation will need to be handled by your team or an SEO agency.
7Why Choose Me Over an SEO Trainer?

When considering why to choose me over an SEO training company, there are several compelling reasons based on my unique qualifications and experience.

  • Real-World Experience: As a day-to-day SEO practitioner, I'm continuously involved in the field, applying current SEO strategies and techniques to actual projects. This ongoing engagement ensures that my knowledge is up-to-date and comprehensive, which is invaluable for training.
  • Personalised Training: I offer more personalised attention compared to larger training companies. My approach can be tailored to meet the specific needs and skill levels of my clients, ensuring a more effective learning experience.
  • Successful Website Ownership: Owning and operating a successful website is a testament to my practical skills and effectiveness in SEO. This hands-on experience in building and maintaining a successful online presence gives me unique insights that I can share with my trainees, something that trainers from a company might lack.
  • Business Acumen: My experience in managing a business adds an extra layer to my training. I'm not just teaching SEO; I'm also imparting knowledge on how SEO integrates with broader business goals and strategies. This holistic view is crucial for trainees, especially those looking to apply SEO in their businesses or careers.
  • Direct Accountability: Working directly with me means there's a clear line of accountability and communication. Trainees can have their queries addressed more promptly and effectively, leading to a more enriching learning experience.
  • Adaptability: As an independent SEO expert, I may have more flexibility to adapt to the latest trends and changes in the industry. This agility can be a significant advantage in a field as dynamic as SEO.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Often, I can offer more competitive pricing structures compared to larger companies due to lower overhead costs. This aspect can be a deciding factor for many potential clients.

More questions

1Is DIY SEO Possible?
Many aspects of SEO can be managed in-house, especially if you have talented writers or a team involved in press releases. I offer training to help you grasp key SEO principles, enabling your team to handle aspects like meta titles, blog posts, sales pages, and more.
2Collaborations with Other Agencies?
I don't have formal partnerships with any agencies. However, with my extensive network, I can offer recommendations for professionals like copywriters, link builders, or developers.
3Can I Assist Developers in Creating an SEO-Friendly Site?
One of my specialties is writing SEO specifications for website development. Integrating SEO and site performance requirements from the start is far more effective and cost-efficient than post-launch adjustments.
