SEO Training New York
Wasting your time and money with overpriced digital marketing agencies that deliver little to no SEO results? Many New York 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 in-person training for yourself or for your team.

What are the benefits of NYC 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 Are you still providing them with outdated tools such as brochures and flyers?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
Step 1: Get in Touch
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 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.

SEO Training in New York FAQs
Is SEO training in New York private or open to the public?
SEO training in New York is delivered as private instruction rather than public seminars.
Emily Journey offers both one-on-one SEO coaching and private group training for businesses and nonprofits. This allows the sessions to focus on your organization’s own website, marketing goals, and current level of SEO experience.
Is this SEO training suitable for beginners?
Yes. Many participants attend training because they want a clear explanation of how search engine optimization works and where to begin.
If you are new to SEO, sessions typically focus on foundational concepts and practical steps for improving your website’s search visibility. If you already have experience with SEO, training can focus on refining your strategy and improving implementation.
Do you offer SEO training for marketing teams or in-house staff?
Yes. Many organizations schedule SEO training for marketing teams, communications staff, or employees responsible for managing website content. Team training helps staff understand how SEO fits into everyday marketing activities such as writing website content, publishing blog posts, and maintaining the company website.
One-on-one training is also available for individuals.
Are SEO courses in New York taught as classroom-style classes?
While most SEO courses in New York are delivered in large classroom settings, Emily Journey takes a different approach by offering private individual or small group training customized to your organization.
This allows the sessions to focus directly on your website, industry, and marketing priorities instead of covering only general SEO concepts.
Is SEO training in New York available in person or virtually?
SEO training can be delivered in person in New York City or virtually through Zoom.
Both formats are fully interactive and allow participants to work through SEO strategies for their own website during the training. When sessions are conducted over Zoom, a recording is also provided so the material can be reviewed later.
Can SEO training help improve a WordPress website?
Yes. Many organizations that attend training use WordPress to manage their websites.
Training with Emily Journey & Associates often includes guidance on improving SEO within the WordPress environment, including optimizing pages and posts, improving site structure, and using WordPress tools effectively to support your SEO strategy.
Do SEO classes in New York include certification?
Training with Emily Journey & Associates is designed to focus on practical implementation rather than certification.
Participants leave with a customized SEO plan and a clear understanding of how to apply SEO strategies to their own website and marketing efforts.
What is the difference between an SEO course and SEO training?
Many SEO courses are structured as classroom-style programs that teach general concepts about search engine optimization.
SEO training with Emily Journey & Associates is different because the sessions are customized to your organization. Instead of working through generic course material, the training focuses on applying SEO strategies to your own website, content, and marketing goals so you leave with a practical plan you can begin implementing right away.
How do I schedule SEO training and how soon can I train?
We have six SEO instructors on our team, so we can typically get your training on our calendar about two weeks out–sometimes sooner. It is also normal to have to wait up to a month for training during our busy times.
Our Training Coordinator, Erin Brooks, will work with you to find the best days and times for your training. She will then introduce you to your instructor so that you can discuss your goals and get answers to any remaining questions you might have.
