This course was fantastic. It was incredibly informative and engaging, and John taught in a personable and accessible manner.
(4.00 out of 5) Kenneth [ 12 September, 2019 ]
I liked the practical component especially (on Wordpress) and found this very useful as I knew about meta optimisations etc but never had a chance to apply this knowledge.
(4.10 out of 5) Rebecca F [ 12 September, 2019 ]
Great, practical course. John even tailored it to our business - super useful and relevant. Thanks John!
(5.00 out of 5) Ainslie [ 12 September, 2019 ]
John was fabulous! I have taken away so much that I can apply now, and down the track to our website. A heavy topic that was balanced with practical examples to help us understand better as we went along. John's Squiz knowledge was also a great help! Thank you!
