In case you're wondering...
Is this course only for seo beginners?
When I was creating this course, I intentionally asked a few business owners with existing SEO knowledge to go through the lessons and give me their honest opinions.
I wanted to make sure that this course went beyond "surface-level SEO" and truly presented information and tactics that even someone with SEO experience could benefit from.
This is what they said...

" I have taken a lot of courses over my 14 years as a photographer. I've taken a couple of SEO-specific courses and this one is by far my favorite. It is so detailed and informative. If you’re looking to learn SEO and finally feel like you get it, look no further than this course! Just buy it already!"
- Liz Courtney
"I have taken other SEO courses in the past that were dry, long, and boring. The SEO Basics Course totally blew me away!!! This honestly was one of the BEST courses I have ever taken. I learned something new in every single section of the course. It really is 100% worth it!"
- Deanna Holly
" I thought my knowledge on SEO was pretty extensive. I've also invested in some not worthwhile education, so I'm always a little bit skeptical. I am so glad that I decided to take Christy's SEO Basics course. Even the seasoned vet in SEO will benefit from this course."

resumé one day at a time
When I started my career as a photographer, I had no freakin' idea how many "little" things I would need to learn as a business owner!
After paying for a professional, expensive website redesign that made false SEO promises, and moving my business clear across the country... I quickly (and painfully) realized the importance of SEO.

Specializing in seo for creative small businesses
I know you didn't start your business itching to create marketing plans, learn the latest software, and track metrics on spreadsheets. Neither did I. I wanted to have a fun, creative outlet, be my own boss, and create beautiful photos. But SEO managed to steal my heart.
And while I don't expect you to nerd out with me, I do want you to get excited about using Google to build the business you dreamed of at the start of your creative journey.
