Why Melbourne teams book SEO training instead of another course

Most people who ask us about training have already done a course, read the guides and sat through agency reports they could not act on.

Problem 1

Courses teach theory, not your site

Generic SEO courses in Melbourne cover what a title tag is. Nobody opens your Search Console and shows you why your pages are not ranking.

How we fix itThe whole workshop runs on your website, your data and your competitors. Every example is one you can act on.
Problem 2

Agency reports nobody understands

You pay for SEO, you get a dashboard, and no one in the business can tell whether the work is any good.

How we fix itWe teach your team to read rankings, traffic, leads and revenue themselves, so they can hold any agency, including us, to account.
Problem 3

The playbook changed with AI search

Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Gemini now answer many searches before anyone clicks. Training written in 2022 does not cover how to get cited.

How we fix itA module on AI search: what gets cited, how to structure pages for it, and how to measure it in your own data.
What you get

What the half-day SEO workshop covers

Four working sessions, each one applied to your own website while we are in the room. Bring a laptop and Search Console access; we bring the audit we ran on your site beforehand.

Sessions 1 and 2: how search works now, and your site’s health

  • How Google ranks in 2026 and how AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Gemini choose what to cite
  • Your site’s technical health live: crawling, indexing, Core Web Vitals, schema and internal links
  • The fixes your developer can ship this month, in priority order

Sessions 3 and 4: content that wins, and how to measure it

  • Keyword research that finds the searches that bring revenue, not just traffic
  • Writing and structuring pages, Google Business Profile and local SEO for Melbourne suburbs
  • Reading Search Console and GA4 properly: rankings, traffic, leads and revenue
  • Your 90-day plan, written in the room and owned by your team
1

Team at a time

We run the workshop for one business or team at a time, so the content is yours and nothing is shared with competitors.

Who it suits

In-house marketing teams, founders and owners who want to run SEO themselves, and agency or web teams adding SEO to their service.

Afterwards

A written 90-day plan, the pre-workshop audit, and a 30-minute follow-up call four weeks later to check progress.

How it works

How an SEO training day runs

  1. Free, 30 minutes

    Scoping callFree

    We learn who is in the room, what they already know and what the business needs from search, then quote the day.

  2. Before the day

    We audit your site

    A technical, content and competitor audit of your own website, so the workshop starts with real findings rather than theory.

  3. Half day

    The workshop

    Four sessions, on-site in Melbourne or remote. Fixes are made live, and the 90-day plan is written in the room.

  4. Four weeks later

    Follow-up call

    A 30-minute check-in on what shipped, what moved in Search Console, and what to do next.

FAQ

SEO training questions

Question not here? Ask us directly.

Who is SEO training in Melbourne for?

In-house marketing teams who want to run SEO themselves, founders and owners who want to understand what they are paying for, and agency or web design teams adding SEO to their service. We scope the content to the people in the room, so beginners and experienced marketers both get a working day.

How much does SEO training cost?

The workshop is quoted per team rather than per seat, and the quote depends on team size, whether it is on-site or remote, and how much pre-workshop audit work your site needs. Ask for a quote on the free 30-minute call and we will give you a fixed price for the day.

Is this an accredited SEO course?

No. It is a practical half-day workshop, not a certificate. If you want a formal qualification, our guide to SEO courses at Australian universities compares the options. If you want your own site to rank better by the end of the month, this is the faster route.

Where does the training happen?

On-site at your Melbourne office, at ours in Cremorne, or remote over video for teams spread across Australia. The format is the same either way: your site, your data, live.

What do we need to bring?

A laptop per person, access to your Google Search Console and GA4 properties, and the person who can change the website. We send the pre-workshop audit a few days before so people can read it first.

What happens after the workshop?

You keep the audit, the written 90-day plan and a recording. Four weeks later we run a 30-minute follow-up call. If you decide you would rather we did the work, our SEO consulting picks up from the same plan.
