Within 3 months of completing the course, I landed my first SEO client at $1,500/month. The technical SEO module alone was worth the entire price. James explains things in a way that actually sticks.
I went from knowing zero SEO to getting hired as a full-time SEO Specialist at a digital marketing agency in under 5 months. The curriculum is incredibly comprehensive and the templates are gold.
The AI SEO module is unlike anything else I've seen. Our agency adapted our entire content workflow based on what we learned, and our clients' organic traffic increased by an average of 180% over six months.
