SEO Jumpstart
Get your blog onto PAGE ONE of Google, FAST TRACK your blog growth and FINALLY BE FREE from the social media hamster wheel!
WANT TO GET MORE TRAFFIC TO YOUR BLOG?
Sick of chasing algorithms and feeling like your blog traffic is completely out of your control?
Fed up with trying to second guess the whims of the social media overlords?
Exhausted by Pinterest’s ever-changing rulebook?
Frustrated by all the conflicting advice out there – post more, post less, be on this platform, no wait… now it’s that one?
Tired of spending hours creating content… only for it to disappear into the void the moment you hit publish?
Wish the work you put in today could keep bringing in traffic for weeks, months – even years – to come?
THEN YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!
INTRODUCING SEO JUMPSTART...
SEO Jumpstart is a jargon-free, self-paced Search Engine Optimization course made specifically for bloggers like you – bloggers who want to grow their traffic in a smart, sustainable way… and stop relying on the latest social media trend to bring in readers.
Inside, you’ll find everything you need to finally understand SEO – and actually enjoy it (yes, really!). You’ll learn how to write blog posts that Google WANTS to show people, how to choose keywords that bring in the RIGHT traffic, and how to optimize your site so it works WITH you, not against you.
No tech overwhelm. No fluff. Just a clear, practical roadmap that gets you real results.
So you can get back to what you love (which ISN’T frantically ‘liking’ other people’s cat videos, creating dozens of ‘fresh’ pins for each blog post… or staring at an empty piggy bank!)
"I absolutely loved the SEO Jumpstart course. It was well laid out, approachable, and so helpful. SEO always intimidated me, but after taking this course, I feel confident in optimizing my blog. When I took this course, in December, my traffic was about 35K page views. My traffic in January was 90K and I was able to qualify for Mediavine!!! This course was worth every single penny."

⚠️ SEO in 2025: What’s really going on?
If you’ve heard whispers that “SEO is dead”… you're not alone.
Between new AI search features, some incredibly brutal Google updates and a whole bunch of old SEO hacks no longer working, it’s no wonder many bloggers are wondering if SEO is still worth it in 2025.
But here’s the truth:
🚫 The tricks and hacks that used to work - rehashing top ranking blog posts, stuffing your posts with every single ‘related keyword’ some expensive tool told you to add, adding a ton of fluff and filler to stretch out your word count, writing on topics you know nothing about, churning out a bunch of generic ‘me to’ blog content that offers nothing new to the internet, writing to the exact same hackneyed ‘formula’ that a bajillion other bloggers are using – HAVE stopped working (and could even get you penalized).
✅ But the core, foundational principles of SEO still work just as well as they ever did… in fact, they’re more important than ever.
Top SEO experts agree: to win in the AI age, your SEO foundations need to be rock solid. That’s exactly what SEO Jumpstart teaches.
But maybe you're thinking…
- SEO is too complicated and too full of complex jargon
- You need to pay for lots of expensive SEO tools
- SEO takes a lot of time and technical expertise
- You really need to have a super expensive SEO audit to make a difference
- It’s too late… the SEO boat has sailed
But in reality, NONE of these things are true… or at least not on my course!
- I use regular plain English to explain SEO (making complicated things easy is my superpower 😉)
- I show you how to use FREE AND LOW COST TOOLS to uncover keyword gold dust, boost your rankings and monitor your progress (and I explain why some expensive SEO tools could actually do more harm than good!)
- The course is broken down into short, bitesize, actionable units… and there’s DEFINITELY NO NEED to be a technical whizz!
- I teach how you can identify and fix your own SEO roadblocks… at a fraction of the price of a fancy pants SEO audit
- It’s definitely not too late… but DON’T LEAVE IT ANY LONGER because the sooner you get started, the sooner you'll start seeing RESULTS!
"I can't recommend Eb's course highly enough. Thanks to the SEO Jumpstart course, my traffic has more than quadrupled in the last few months. Thanks to Eb's invaluable advice and support, I was able to quit my retail job and make blogging my full time career. Feeling daunted? Don't be - The course is laid out in straightforward modules that you work on it at your own pace. Eb explains everything in such an easy way - no confusing technical jargon! This is the only SEO course you will ever need."
- Nicola Thompson, somethingsweetsomethingsavoury.com
SEO in 2025 is NOT about desperately stuffing ‘related keywords’ into your blog posts, writing for a machine, buying dodgy backlinks, churning out dozens of AI-generated posts or gaming the system. (All that dodgy stuff is how you land yourself in GOOGLE JAIL!)
SEO in 2025 is all about:
- Giving your readers an awesome experience on your website
- Structuring your site so readers can find what they need with ease, and search bots can crawl your website efficiently and understand where to find your most important content
- Picking keywords that you can actually rank on page 1 of Google for AND which will send you a ton of traffic
- Writing fewer but better-quality blog posts, which actually solve your readers’ problems and are easy and enjoyable to read
- Demonstrating to your readers AND search engines that you actually know what you are taking about (SPOILER ALERT: It’s not just about backlinks anymore!)
- Having a fast, secure and reliable website
- Not letting low quality, out of date content and poor site maintenance cancel out all your good SEO work
“SEO Jumpstart is the most effective course I’ve ever done and I haven’t even finished it yet! This is not a course for the faint-hearted. You need to do the work on your site, however, the instructions are very clear and it is totally worth it. Through implementing the SEO advice in the course my organic search page views have increased by 85% in the past year and I was accepted by Mediavine which means I have a regular income through advertising.”
- Janice Pattie, farmersgirlkitchen.co.uk
But maybe you are still not sure about SEO…
Maybe you feel if you just doubled down your efforts on social media and Pinterest, you’d eventually ‘crack’ the algorithm…
…here’s the cold hard truth about why social media is NEVER going to send you enough traffic to make a full-time income (despite what the social media gurus have been telling you for years!)
- Social media channels don’t want to SEND you traffic, social media channels want to KEEP people on their sites, because they DON’T MAKE MONEY from sending traffic to you (that’s why that funny cat meme you shared gets a bajillion likes and comments, but that post with a link to your latest blog post gets crickets!)
- Social media algorithms mean that even the people who LOVE your stuff and actually WANT to see more of it often never see a single post from you (We’ve all had that friend who asks you if you’ve stopped blogging ‘cos they never see your stuff on Insta anymore…)
- People go on social media for ENTERTAINMENT. But people go on Google to SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS. (The key to doing well on Google is to solve people’s problems better than your competition… which is actually surprisingly easy!)
But what about all the people who are KILLING IT on social media?
Hmmm… Go take a look at those people… I’m pretty sure you’ll find they:
- Were already super well-known in their niche and/or
- Have a whole team to handle their social media and/or
- Pay for a lot of ads and/or
- Just got lucky (there’s always a few!) and/or
- Have been doing it for a loooooong time and built up a big following back when social media DID send good blog traffic and building a large following was EASY
You see, building up a large enough following on social to send meaningful levels of traffic (without throwing fistfuls of cash at those social media overlords) is nigh-on impossible for us mere mortals…
THAT’S THE BAD NEWS
But here’s the good news… 'KILLING IT' with search engine optimisation is surprisingly easy!
You don’t need to be lucky… you just need to have someone who knows what to do show you how to do it (SPOILER ALERT: that’s me 😉)
It’s totally possible for us mere mortals. (My food blog regularly beats celebrity chefs’ recipes to snag the top spot on Google!)
And you don’t have to throw fistfuls of cash at anyone (unless you really want to… I mean, whatever floats your boat 🙃)
AND THE BEST NEWS?
SEO is waaaaaay less time consuming than social media. A little extra effort now will mean much less effort in the long term. Once you've got the hang of SEO and implemented the main changes on your blog, you will only need to do a small amount of upkeep each month to see your blog traffic continue to grow, month in month out… and finally be free from the tyranny of social media!
"Thanks to what I've learned about SEO from Eb Gargano, my traffic from Google has increased by 220% in the past 3 months. It's early days for me, but I'm excited about the direction I'm heading in!"
- Helen Aithie, cookingwithmykids.co.uk
In SEO Jumpstart I give you a simple system to unlock the floodgates to all that AWESOME search engine traffic, so you can FINALLY realise your dream of having a successful and profitable blog to be proud of…
…so you can:
- Leave that 9-5 you HATE
- Be your own boss and work the hours you want to work
- Get to spend more time with your family and friends
- Take time off any time you want WITHOUT fear of what might happen to your blog traffic and bank balance while you are away
- Have a bank balance that will shut people up when the ask for the 735th time when you are going to get a ‘proper job’. (OK, maybe you’re not going to tell them your bank balance, but they’ll certainly notice when you can suddenly afford to go on fancy pants holidays / retire your other half / buy the first round every time!)

Click finger still undecided?
Let’s see if I can help you make that decision!
(Because I only want you to join SEO Jumpstart if it’s genuinely a good fit for you – I don’t want any unhappy students…)
This course would be perfect for you if ANY of the following apply…
- You’re a new blogger who wants to get SEO right from the start (Absolutely the best time to do it!)
- You’ve been blogging for a long time and know you have a whole load of SEO issues on your site (Not going to lie, you might have quite a bit of work to do… but an established blog typically sees the results of SEO work much, much faster!)
- You know nothing at all about SEO (Don’t worry I explain EVERYTHING and I don’t assume ANY prior knowledge.)
- You know a bit about SEO already (This course is beginner to intermediate level… so, if you already know a bit about SEO, you are still going to learn tons from this course… and you'll probably have to unlearn a thing or two, too 😉)
- You desperately want to get into Mediavine (This course has helped many bloggers get into Mediavine!)
- You want to grow your ad income (Already in Mediavine? Then you probably know that just getting into Mediavine, doesn’t automatically mean you have a magical money tree – more of a sapling… but once you’re in Mediavine and start seeing your hard work rewarded financially, it’s going to make you want to double down on those SEO efforts to grow that sapling into a great big redwood!)
This course is not right for you if…
- You know a lot already about SEO (It’s beginner to intermediate level… If you think your SEO knowledge is higher than that, you’ll probably find this course too easy – but do check the curriculum to see what we cover…)
- You aren’t willing to put the work in (This course won’t work unless you do the assignments!)
- You don’t have a self-hosted WordPress blog (Actually you can still do a lot of this course without a self-hosted WordPress blog, but honest truth… the hands down BEST thing you can do for your SEO right now is move over to self-hosted WordPress… Once you’ve done that, then come back here and grab this course!)
- You’re not a blogger (This course is made for bloggers… so if you have an ecommerce site, a brick and mortar business, a static website… this is probably not the right course for you.)
I’m so excited to help you finally crack this SEO thing and get you on your way to grabbing your slice of all that crazy insane search engine traffic! (Google alone processes an estimated 8.5 BILLION searches per day.)
So what are you waiting for? Get SEO Jumpstart and kick start your journey towards exciting blog growth and the potential for incredible passive income TODAY!
