SEO Training Southampton
Back to SEO ServicesForget what you’ve heard – SEO is not a dark art. Anyone can pick up basic SEO skills, especially when coached by experienced, practising SEO consultants like Targeted SEO. Our bespoke SEO training in Southampton cater to varying skill levels and all kinds of businesses, freelancers, agencies and marketing teams.
Tired of cookie-cutter SEO courses that leave you scratching your head?
At Targeted SEO, we love what we do and see evidence of SEO working for our clients every day. That’s why we’re keen to pass on SEO knowledge to as many businesses as possible, both large and small.
Our bespoke SEO training and sessions can empower you and your team to improve your website’s search engine rankings, reach more potential customers and increase conversion rates.
SEO has many components, and no two SEO strategies are the same. So neither are our training sessions. We will start with a consultation to understand your business objectives, marketing strategy and website’s SEO performance. Then we can deliver a bespoke training plan that meets your needs and is appropriate for the audience.
What is search engine optimisation (SEO) training?
Organic SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) aims to improve a website’s visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs). The ultimate goal is to drive more visitors to a site and convert them into leads and, eventually, customers.
There are many SEO tools and techniques which combine to great effect, including on-page SEO, technical SEO, off-page SEO, local SEO and SEO content strategy.
Our SEO training sessions provide an understanding of how SEO works, its benefits, and how the different techniques work as part of an integrated strategy.
Our experienced team has delivered successful training to complete newbies, as well as experienced marketing professionals. There are a lot of SEO training resources online, but nothing can beat face-to-face learning with experienced SEO consultants.
We deliver training sessions in person at your place or ours, and we’re happy to do live interactive webinars. We can even produce bespoke, pre-recorded training videos for you to learn in your own time. Whether you want a one-off session or a full day, we can oblige.
Our training clients are also given access to online SEO training material, including modules on how to write SEO content and the basics of technical SEO.
Who can benefit from our SEO training?
Anyone who can find their way around a website can grasp the basics of SEO and make positive changes to improve organic search traffic. We work with a wide variety of teams and businesses, from complete beginners to those looking to advance their SEO skills.
Small Business owners
For many small businesses, investing in a full-blown SEO campaign is out of reach. Targeted SEO is a small business that’s come a long way, so we get it. That’s why we’re passionate about offering training to ambitious business owners, to give them the skills they need to improve visibility, increase website traffic and drive valuable leads.
We’re happy to provide one-on-one training online or in person. If you are part of a small business network, you might consider sharing the cost of SEO training. If not, but you are interested in joining a group of other business owners for a training session, please contact us, and we’ll be in touch when there is sufficient demand.
Marketers and in-house marketing teams
If your business has an internal marketing team, we can help accelerate their marketing efforts with basic to advanced SEO training.
For junior marketing teams, we can deliver an introduction to SEO, including skills like effective keyword research, which they can implement straight away. For digital marketing teams, we can offer progressive technical SEO training, focussing on key areas like advanced link-building strategy.
For those with more extensive digital marketing experience, our team can provide a deep understanding of SEO strategy, theory, and techniques. We can guide you through the finer details of SEO and provide valuable insights on how to create successful SEO strategies using real-life case studies.
Agencies and freelancers
If your marketing agency currently outsources organic SEO, we can provide training to increase your in-house knowledge, get better results for your clients and reduce your budget.
As a professional marketing freelancer, we can help you develop advanced SEO techniques and hone in on any particular area of interest, e.g. how to use Google Analytics.
What our bespoke SEO training includes
Here are some examples of the kind of content that features in our SEO training. Whether you want a complete overview of SEO strategy, or a focus on one particular area, such as technical SEO, we can tailor the training content to meet your needs and the skillset of the audience.
On-page SEO
The purpose of on-page SEO is to improve a site’s organic visibility and enhance user experience (UX). You will learn how Google crawls and indexes a website, along with practical skills to optimise on-page elements such as page titles, meta descriptions, headings (H1, H2 etc) and images.
For experienced digital marketing teams, we can offer insights into improving UX through loading speed, responsiveness, and readability.
SEO content optimisation
We can’t overstate the importance of content marketing to SEO success. High-quality, relevant content is essential to attract readers, but it is also a valuable signal to Google. Google aims to make information ‘accessible and useful’, and so it indexes sites with good content higher.
Our experts can help you elevate your website by creating engaging SEO content, including how to use keywords, internal linking and the effective use of AI.
Analytics set up & monitoring
Our experts can teach you how to leverage analytics tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console to gain valuable insights into your website’s performance.
Through hands-on tutorials, we’ll show you how to configure these tools effectively, ensuring they capture accurate data on website traffic, indexation status, user behaviour, and overall search engine performance.
Local SEO
This is aimed at businesses looking to dominate their local market and attract customers in their region. You will learn essential techniques to optimise your online presence for local search to reach more potential customers searching for local products/services.
This includes off-page techniques, like citations and getting the most out of your Google Business Profile, as well as on-page techniques, like localised keywords and scheme markup.

Frequently asked questions about our bespoke SEO training
We can deliver SEO training as one-off sessions or a series of sessions. It largely depends on your goals, level of knowledge and your budget. Based on a detailed consultation, we’ll put together a bespoke quote to meet your needs and help you get the most out of your spend.
Google has the lion’s share of the search engine market, so we pay close attention to its changing algorithms and adapt our strategies accordingly. However, the principles of SEO are fundamentally universal and will help increase visibility in other leading search engines like Bing.
At Targeted SEO, we’re passionate advocates of SEO and how it can benefit any business. But we’re the first to point out that organic SEO (as opposed to paid-for ads) is a long game. Google needs time to be convinced, and there are no shortcuts.
That’s why it’s essential to start introducing SEO to your website as soon as possible. The more persistent your efforts, the better chance of sustainable, long-term success.
