Rick,
I wanted to take the time to let you know how much I appreciated your 10-week SEO class. Knowing absolutely nothing about SEO I was a little bit intimidated going in, coming out I am very comfortable with every aspect of SEO. I know look at every website differently, every Google search I do, and how I treat my own website and blog.
I am amazed at all the little things that I was so unaware of and how they all add up to a big thing, creating landing pages for popular blogs, adding SEO to our images and the cool analytic tricks. Our website has seen a dramatic change in just a short period and has already paid off in new clients and conversations with new potential clients due only to our improved SEO.
The timing could not have been better, as in the middle of our training a popular television show announced they were coming to our area, (ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Show). I decided to blog about the event and using what I had learned from you about SEO my blog was at the top of all local Google searches regarding the event. I have since written a follow up blog and now both blogs are at the top ahead of all the news media and other bloggers. Just good SEO. The increase percentage in how many hits my blog has gotten has a lot of zeros and commas. I can only thank my SEO training for that.
I would highly recommend your SEO classes to any business owner. If your SEO techniques are applied, a ROI will be achieved. Even with this thank you note, I think I did ok with achieving the proper keyword density for SEO. Thanks Rick.

Although I’ve created a few sites using WordPress, I have many knowledge gaps. I knew a session with Rick would be much more efficient than several hours spent trawling support forums in the hope I’d find what I needed to know. Working over Skype and sharing a screen was a great solution. I learned what I needed and a bit more too. My next coaching session with Rick will be about SEO.

LinkedIn Recommendations
Mark Thurston has endorsed your work as his Coach.
Dear Rick,
I’ve written this recommendation of your work to share with other LinkedIn users.Details of the Recommendation: “My experience with Rick was nothing short of amazing. In addition to the expertise, creativity and ethics that permeated his business relationship with me, he is also very personable and has a genuine caring for those whom he helps that shines through in everything he does.
If you are looking for help with learning this strange new on-line world of business or are merely looking for a mentor that can help you learn how you can ‘think out-of-the-box’ and/or help you manage your time and accountability, there are few as good and as effective as Rick.
There are ‘gurus’ that you can buy information from, even some that will accept you as an ‘apprentice’. There are thousands of people that ‘think’ they know how to teach or ‘think’ they know how to market and sell, but when it comes down to it, Rick is as good, and probably better, than someone that would charge you ten times as much. In the short time I had the pleasure of working with him, Rick shared with me so many more things that work in the real world than a box full of ‘gurus’ probably even understand. He is all about what works, not about theory and what one thinks should work (or wishes what would work).
Thank you Rick,
Mark”
