The SEO-Powered Website™ Course teaches SEO differently.
Using the SEO Success Factors,™ our modern and simple SEO framework, you’ll learn to see SEO through the lens of Google and AI.
And when you apply it, your messaging becomes sharper, your brand more professional and your website becomes your most valuable asset— and the foundation behind all of your marketing.
SEO Courses for entrepreneurs and creatives
With the right mix of SEO,
messaging and branding, your business will become unstoppable.


If you're ready to level up your business,
you're in the right place.
Most business owners try to do all the things:
-
Posting on social media constantly
-
Sending emails five times a week
-
Creating never-ending content
This is exhausting.
Meanwhile, your website—the one thing that should be bringing in clients and sales—24/7 just sits there.
When your website is optimized correctly, Google and AI rank your website high, customers engage, and sales grow.
The problem is that SEO is taught in a way that feels too technical and complicated for most busy small business owners and creatives. And it's disconnected from messaging and branding.
That’s why I created the SEO Success Factors™: Seen, Trusted, Relevant — a proven SEO framework that simplifies how to learn and do, SEO.
The SEO Success Factors™ is a modern, intuitive framework that organizes SEO tasks into result-driven outcomes: Seen, Trusted, and Relevant.
SEO Success Factors™
SEEN
Can search engines and AI find and read your website?

TRUSTED
Do they believe your site is credible and authoritative?

RELEVANT
Does your website match what people are searching for?

Each Success Factor mirrors exactly how Google and AI read, evaluate and decide how to rank your site.
Every aspect of SEO— from on-page and off-page SEO, technical SEO, keyword strategy to AEO, GEO and everything in between— fits naturally into one of these three outcomes.
When you understand this, SEO stops feeling overwhelming and finally makes sense— it becomes simple, structured, and most importantly, doable.
And when you apply SEO this way, your messaging gets more clear
and your design feels more professional.
