SEO Training Chicago, IL
Wasting your time and money with overpriced digital marketing agencies that deliver little to no SEO results? Many Chicago companies are getting ripped off for so-called SEO services. At Emily Journey and Associates, we’ve learned about this problem directly from our clients who hire us for a different service: WordPress Training.
When we ask, "What is that SEO/marketing agency doing for you?" The answer we get is usually something like, "Uhhhhh, I'm not sure . . . whatever it is, it's not working!"
Overpriced digital marketing agencies are not delivering on their promises, blaming algorithms or claiming the need for more time in order to see results. Or, even worse, they blame YOU.
Don't believe it.
Here's my first SEO tip: Don't waste your money on web design and marketing agencies that promise results from mysterious behind-the-scenes activities that primarily involve:
- special html markups,
- micro-sites, or
- automated directory submissions.
- backlinking
Your best investment in search engine optimization begins with private SEO classes in Chicago for yourself or for your team.

What are the benefits of Chicago SEO training?
Gone are the days when you could launch a beautiful website and have potential customers automatically flock to it.
Consider your investment in print advertising. Wouldn't you rather have more of your prospects find your website through a simple (and free) Google search result?
Get customers to call you
“What if you have a great product but nobody can find your website? Emily’s your remedy. If you want your website to reach the top of Google searches, she’s your person. If you want to learn how to navigate and manage your own WordPress site, she’s your person. If you want follow-ups, check-ins and after-training support, she’s your person. You’re going to be way better off when you understand what the principles are. From there, you can enhance your own reputation and get the customers that you are now cold calling…to call you.
What about your sales team? Are you still providing them with outdated tools such as brochures and flyers? Wouldn't it be great if you could support their efforts with a naturally strong search engine ranking and inbound leads?

Get started with SEO training

First things first. We'll discuss your SEO goals and challenges. Understanding what you want to accomplish helps me customize your SEO training for your unique needs. This first conversation is also a great time to ask any additional questions about the process.
Step 2: Set a Date
We'll get things off the ground by securing a spot on the calendar. Once we have decided on the training date, you will be provided with payment instructions.
Step 3: Learn by Doing
At Emily Journey & Associates, we are big proponents of kinetic learning - aka, learning by doing! And since you're seeking some personalized training, it's pretty safe to assume you'd like that kind of atmosphere, too. We'll meet in person or via Zoom as you are guided through the steps of search engine optimization.
