I’m a That’s Life cover girl

I never thought of myself as cover girl material.

But today as I wandered past the newsagents with my dog Pamplemousse, I saw my face on the cover of That’s Life. Which is at once totally naff, cool, depressing and awesome!

Check out my cover girl moment and click on the image to read the full article, where I exaggerate mildly about my digital addiction and my attempt to detox.

I'm so glad I took this course! As a small business owner, sometimes it's hard to know where to focus your limited time and energy. This course has totally demystified SEO for me and shown me which areas I can do myself and which areas I am better off outsourcing. SEO is a very large field, but Kate breaks it all down into easily digestible chunks and little tasks to keep you on track. I'm not scared of SEO anymore.read more

We are in the process of relaunching a 20 year old website with 20,000 members and needed to ensure our SEO wasn't hurt in the process. So I signed up for Kate's Recipe for SEO Success digital course to ensure I was across everything I needed to know. The course is amazing value and I have been recommending it to everyone I know in the digital marketing sphere. You could invest in an SEO company, or you could invest in yourself by studying with Kate Toon...I definitely support the last option.read more

I am so glad I decided to do the course even though life got in the way just after it started. Kate Toon you are the best. A wealth of knowledge, passionate and patient. With the ongoing access I will be able to catch up. I've already noticed a difference in my rankings and I haven't even actioned everything yet! Thanks.read more

I have just finished The Recipe for SEO Success and would recommend it to anyone who needs to get their head around the ‘SEO Beast’. Having had some prior experience with SEO I knew the basics, but our ranking was slipping and it was time to up the anti. Only working 2 days a week it was important for me to understand what the key priorities were to ensure our business increased and maintained our rank. To begin with I just wanted to learn more about SEO copywriting, but soon I realised there was a whole lot more on offer. I started with SEO Nibbles, then the 10 Day SEO Challenge, the Good Karma SEO course and have just finished the ‘big course’. I now have the skills and tools to complete the majority of my own SEO tasks, but even better, if I do choose to outsource the task I have the knowledge and confidence to check the work on completion to ensure I receive exactly what I pay for. Thanks Kate!read more

Sometimes we make awesome, game-changing decisions and for us, signing up for Kate Toon’s Recipe for SEO Success Course was one of them. Kate’s depth of knowledge on SEO combined with her easy going, straight forward delivery made this course the best money we’ve ever spent on SEO. We went from having scattered, confused knowledge about SEO and ended up with a comprehensive understanding and a clear plan of how to tackle future SEO queries. The course itself is worth every cent (probably more) however the bonus of having guarenteed forever-more access to the regularly updated content makes this an ongoing and invaluable SEO resource. For small businesses trying to get their heads around SEO or just to inform themselves so they can confidently manage an outsourced resource, we urge you to jump, both feet in, to this course.read more

TL;DR Kate is great. SEO works. Buy Kate's stuff. I've bought nearly every Kate Toon product there is... no, really! I'm a member of her Clever Copywriting School and I've just graduated from her Recipe for SEO Success course. Kate is kind, clever, and always offers 5 x more value than you expect. She's had a huge impact on my business and life for someone I've only hung out with online (in about a zillion Zoom calls!). Specifically, her SEO course goes deep and detailed into what it takes to make Google happy. But she structures it in a way that's not overwhelming, gives you plenty of support, and gets you results. Yep - even though I've only implemented about half of the learnings so far (it's a work in progress), I can already see results, and I'm confident that this will translate to more leads for my business in the near future.read more

Kate's Recipe for SEO Success course is a must for anyone who has a website or wants to learn about SEO. As a communications specialist, SEO writing is a service I offer. I've spent years studying text books and researching the subject but always wondered if I was missing something. Nothing brings together all the elements of SEO in one concise, user-friendly and reasonably priced course like Kate's does. There isn't enough space here to tell you all the great things about this course - so to sum it up I'll just say "get on board!!" It's the best money you'll ever spend and you get life access to the materials.read more

I was sick of poor service when working with digital marketing companies, so I completed the Recipe for SEO Success so that I could better understand what people were charging me for. Within a few weeks I could see that I was being taken for a complete ride by a number of digital marketing companies. Knowledge is power, and now I don't have to worry about whether I'm getting what I paid for. I can do it myself and know that I'm doing all the right things.read more

This is definitely one of the best courses I have done to date. It's perfect for marketers and small business owners wanting to learn more about SEO. The best thing about the course is the way it's structured. You have access to Kate's coaching videos with notes and action steps each week. In addition to this, Kate offers weekly coaching calls and a dedicated Facebook group. No other course offers this much content. Kate brings a great energy to what can be a technical subject matter. I'd highly recommend this course for those wanting to grow their business using SEO.read more

I have just completed the big SEO 7 week course and have been very impressed with the amount of content in the course. I am a tradie and self taught myself SEO and really learned through trial and error. I wish I had found this course a year ago as I would have saved myself a lot of wasted time. Kate gives a no b.s. approach to teaching, which I really liked. There is a good structure to the course, but with a no pressure to get everything done, as we are all busy with businesses and life etc. I highly recommend this course for anybody wanting to upskill or even refresh their skills. Sometimes it's the small things you learn that can have a big impact on your rankings. Thanks Kate I really enjoyed this course. Regards Allan Mcleanread more

I have just completed Kate's SEO Recipe for Success course and it was worth every cent! Prior to this course, I felt that SEO was a huge beast that I would never learn to tame. Having done the course, I've realised that SEO is a bigger beast than I first thought - BUT now I know how to wrangle it! Each week was focused on a single SEO-focused module, with easy-to-follow video tutorials (that you can watch in your own time). Alongside these were actions to take - also laid out in step-by-step video format. Detailed notes and action sheets also accompanied each module. Weekly coaching calls were invaluable, as they provided me with a forum to ask any questions that I had. These calls also provided an opportunity to learn from other members of the course. The best part of this course is that once you've purchased it, you have life-time access to it - which means you can dip in and out of it, whenever you need to - eliminating the need for you to 'cram it all in' before the course expires. I highly recommend this course to anyone who feels overwhelmed by SEO, or who needs to get a better handle on it. Kate is really committed to helping you learn, and you'll walk away from this course having learned a LOT!read more

When I did Kate’s course a few years ago I saw immediate results and success. Kate’s methods are fun, fresh and easy to follow. But I admit I got complacent and I left our SEO be for about 18 months – “if it ain’t broke…”. However, we work in a competitive market and like all good things for your business, SEO needs reviewing and refreshing periodically. When I needed it, Kate was there with great advice and her course content (which is regularly updated) is available for life time access. After a quick refresher we’re back in the game again!read more

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

Kate - Thank you, you are a Wonder Woman. I have just completed your SEO Nibbles and SEO 10 Day challenge. Both these courses have been on my to do list for over 12 months. I finally dived in and completed both and being super pumped I have now just signed up for your SEO good Karma course which I'm super excited about. your knowledge, advice and support is invaluable and super easy to get. The changes / updates I have done myself to my website already have helped me with some wins!!! Thank you. I feel confident to take back and lead my own SEO.

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

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
