I’m taking a seven-week break from my business. Here’s how.
Okay, I’ll admit it: I believed the freelance hype. I thought that when I worked for myself I’d be in the office just a few hours a day, take long breaks and earn big bucks. Well, that never happened. Instead it’s been a sometimes painful walk down struggle street,...
How to be the Madonna of the website world

The six-step business detox
Next week I’m trying something new: a Business Detox. I’m shutting my doors, turning off my phone and switching on my out-of-office message. Why? Well, I’ve been flying solo now for about three years and feel it’s time to give my business some much-needed love and...
A day in the life of working me
My productivity highs and woes When I chat with business colleagues, or am interviewed for podcasts, these are the phrases I hear the most: “I don’t know how you do it!” “How do you get it all done?” “What’s your productivity secret?” And I get it. I’m prolific....
My top 6 takeaways from Big Digital Adelaide
Or, what you REALLY learn at business conferences “I don’t like events, and I don’t do networking.” This was me a couple of years ago. A committed business hermit whose only concession to getting out there was a rampant Facebook addiction. But recently I’ve started to...

This course is a "must do" for anyone with small business website who wants to get their head around SEO. The course is outstanding value for money. The content is engaging, easy to understand and is combined with actions encouraging you to immediately implement the knowledge. The course is on-line, however the amount of support Kate provides in her coaching calls and Facebook group create a personal and friendly touch. Most importantly you get results! My website traffic has increased by 20% in 6 weeks and conversions are also up by 34%. Definitely the best marketing investment I've made! Thanks, Kate.read more

I was reluctant to sign up for the course as I was worried I would be in over my head. But I did sign up and yes at times I was in over my head. What saved me was the exceptional volume of support from Kate both in the weekly 1 hour calls and the Facebook group. I have learnt so much relevant information to put into action for my business. At the very least if I outsourced SEO in the future I would have so much deeper knowledge of what's being done and able to hold them accountable. But for now I am adding SEO to my skill set and seeing some huge improvements on my site.read more

I have just done the seven week "Big Course" – as Kate likes to call it.
When I started it, I had no idea of the depth and reach of SEO, and the impact that each tweak has throughout the trail that leads to your ultimate result on Google.
I can only compare it to going away on holiday to a city that you don't know - for the first few days you are completely lost – then as you familiarise yourself with your surroundings and become comfortable, the jigsaw comes together, and you can find your way around (even taking cheeky shortcuts here and there).
So thank you – thank you for putting this together – thank you for all your efforts in explaining, to idiots like me, how to find my way around.
I'd recommend anyone with the slightest need to get ranked on Google to jump at this chance – it's your very own SEO sat nav ...read more

“When I was pregnant I was overwhelmed by the amount of information in regards to what a Mum needs to know. When I finally found a book that generously offered reliable and practical information, I felt incredibly grateful and super lucky. This book indeed helped me in priceless ways. I feel very much the same about Kate’s SEO course. It is that very resource you need if you want your website to fulfil its purpose and serve your business. Terrific value for money!”read more

Kate's knowledge, advice and support is invaluable. Every single time I have followed her advice, things have improved for my business, and so much so that I invested in her full SEO course with the 1:1 option. This course is a must for small businesses that want to succeed - I should have done it much earlier. I cannot recommend Kate or her SEO course enough - thank you so much Kate for everything that you do and offer.read more

I'm currently working through the Degustation Recipe for SEO Success and so far my only regret is not having done it sooner. I can now clearly see the SEO opportunities for my business and I understand the actions that I need to take to get my business to the next level.
Kate gets straight to the point and, while she clearly has the technical expertise, she manages to speak in layman terms to us non-SEO experts. The course is easily digestible, with short learnings and actions in each module, making it easy to get through between family and work life.
If you do one thing for your business, sign up to one of Kate's courses. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm excited about SEO! Thanks Kate!read more

It will be incredible to provide our clients with so much additional value moving forward. Thank you so much Kate. Your SEO course is without a doubt an absolute winner.read more

I was blown away by how much we covered in the hour session, and I have never felt clearer about the path to SEO success for my business. Thanks so much Kate, you really are the expert!"read more

If the thought of your business staying the same makes you feel sick to your stomach - you need to do Kate's course. You owe it to yourself to learn from the very best in SEO.
I recently completed Kate Toon's Recipe for SEO Success Course, and it was without doubt, the best thing I've EVER done for my business! After a few short weeks of implementing Kate's teachings, I watched my rankings dramatically improve in Google search results for my chosen keywords, and also obtained a top spot in the local pack and knowledge graphs.
Previously, the majority of my new clients came from referrals but they're now coming from Google. Website traffic is also increasing daily, which is a direct result of what Kate teaches you to implement.
A non-jargony course that's easy to understand and thoroughly enjoyable to complete, Kate's incredible support and sense of humour is a winning combination for any business.
I cannot recommend Kate's courses highly enough! Thanks Kate, you're a bl**dy good egg!read more

I have done many online courses over the years and Kate's SEO course is one of the best ones. She has extensive knowledge about everything SEO and marketing, but the best part is that her courses are very practical and based on her own experience of what works. You can start implementing on day 1 and get quick results. I keep coming back to her videos to increase my knowledge and improve SEO results for myself and my clients. Thanks so much Kate.read more

This is an unbelievably good course. I've followed Kate for a while before decided to take the plunge into the SEO recipe for success course, and I now only wish I had of done this sooner! The course itself is really well structured, there is a lot of amazing content that you get, plus the weekly coaching calls are wickedly good - they really helped me stay focused week to week to ensure I got through and did everything (almost) on time.
I can now confidently run the SEO on my sites,, which is going to save me around $4k per annum - considering I paid less than this for the course in total, Im very happy with the return on my investment.
Seriously, just go and do this course, you will not regret it. Thanks Kate, your an SEO rockstar!read more

I signed up for Kate Toon's SEO course so that I would feel more empowered when chatting to our web guys about our online presence and strategy, and to improve my own skills so that we could start implementing regular content myself.
With each week building on the next, I found Kate's course easy to understand and highly beneficial. Not only did I learn about creating content the 'right' way, I've also learnt how to ensure our site is 'healthy' and has a good, solid foundation.
There's loads of useful info and resources so the ability to dip back in and work through each step even after the course has ended is a bonus.
Highly recommend. Thanks Kate!read more

I can fully recommend Kate Toon’s Recipe for SEO Success course. I’ve spent loads of time in the past reading articles and speaking to SEO ‘experts’, but apart from picking up a few tips here and there, I still didn’t feel that confident navigating my way around the vast SEO universe – especially the technical side of things. Kate’s course has been the answer to all my problems! It is so thorough, easy to understand and brings together everything in one place – without any nonsense or smoke and mirrors. I was blown away with how much amazing content and resources are included in the course. There’s so much more than I was expecting and I know I'll be revisiting the materials over and over again.read more

Before I did Kate's course "The Recipe for SEO Success", I was offering half-assed SEO services to my web design clients. I sort of knew some of the steps to good SEO but didn't have a process to follow to ensure a consistently high quality outcome. Kate's course taught me a great process to follow, plus how to carry out each step thoroughly and for best results. She really knows her stuff and isn't stingy with sharing her years of experience with her students. I've enjoyed it so much that I somehow ended up registering for her Copywriting Conference because I trust Kate and her expertise so much.read more

Kate Toon is the real deal. I've just completed the Recipe for SEO Success e-course, which is hands down the best course I've ever taken - and I've taken a few! Kate combines easy-to-follow lessons with loads of support, tools and resources. In a few short weeks, I've reduced the load time of my website by more than half, and made it to page 1 of Google for several of my keywords. I've even nabbed 2nd position for one particular phrase, which wasn't even on my radar before the course. Thanks Kate - you rock!read more
