"I can't recommend Sophie's SEO course enough... the few simple changes I've made already have made a huge difference to the traffic reaching my blog... Of all the courses I've done online, this is by far the most informative. Sophie has put so much effort into the learning materials. I was amazed to be honest!!"—Jenny, Notes To the Moon

"I was so impressed with the website design section, it really helped to solidify what my website is about and who it is for... I'm moving towards starting a small business, so this was INCREDIBLY useful! It really opened SEO up to being more than just keywords. I loved the positivity infused through the course... I couldn't wait to jump back in when I could!"—Trona, Aye Lined
- Do you feel overwhelmed by the relentless pace of social media? Do you want the right people to find your website, but don't know where to start? Do you worry that SEO is an incredibly technical skill that you’ll never be able to understand?

I’m so glad you’re here, friend, because I designed this course for you; this is the resource I wish I'd had five years ago when I decided it was time to stop waiting, forge my own path, and start to grow.
Intuitive SEO will empower you to approach marketing from a place of service, joy, ease, and abundance. Because here's the truth: you don't have to do it all, you just have to do it wisely.
A few years ago I was working for an online magazine, feeling frustrated about how fickle social media was as a platform for reaching our audience, and curious whether I could find a steadier way to grow: the answer I was looking for turned out to be SEO.
Once I invested time into learning SEO and implementing an intentional strategy, our search traffic grew almost 5x faster over a 9-month period than it had done before.
I never thought I’d be able to understand SEO, much less get those kind of results. The world of SEO seemed so technical, so inaccessible, and quite frankly so full of… guys. But over the years what I’ve discovered is that when you strip away the jargon, the concepts behind SEO are straightforward, common sense—even intuitive.
Ultimately, SEO is about people, psychology, and empathy—not knowing how to code.
As a self-proclaimed "words person" who hates numbers, I managed to teach myself SEO and completely revolutionise the growth for an online magazine that used to rely heavily on Facebook traffic. Thanks to my SEO strategy, the magazine was able to keep growing steadily despite all the dreaded algorithm changes.
If I can get these results, I know that you can, too.
Over the years, I've talked to entrepreneurs and digital experts from small startups to big companies like Conde Nast about SEO. I’ve trained teams and individuals to help them understand how to optimise their websites so that they reach the right people via search. Most importantly, though, my strategy continues to get solid results in the form of ever-increasing search traffic and web pages ranking on the first page of Google.

“Just wanted to let you know how much I’m enjoying your course! There is such a wealth of information… It is extremely helpful as I get back to working on my website… you’ve given me tons of information to process as I work to revamp it.”—Bev Walker
"I loved this course! Sophie explains all the aspects of SEO in an accessable easy to implement way. I began implementing some changes to the copy on my website, and a bit of the structure to make it more user friendly, and I've already seen an increase in traffic and searchability to my site. If SEO is overwhelming to you as it was to me, I cannot recommend this course more!"—Rebecca
"I'd definitely recommend this course for anyone who is feeling bogged down by having to be constantly present on social media in order to drive traffic to their site and/or work. This course really showed me that SEO is also for people (and business owners) like me—quieter, creative types who maybe don't feel as enthusiastic about research or strategy—and gave me some really useful steps to begin this SEO journey with."—Ruth

"Sophie made what could be a very technical process understandable—even for digital-phobic editors. She broke down what matters most for SEO ranking, how to do effective keyword research and implementation, and got our editors out of their writing bubbles to build effective outside links. Search is now the largest traffic source for us, by far!" Kara Eschbach, Co-Founder of Verily magazine
