The Summer of SEO starts now! 💃🏻
Hello Reader,
You recently asked to be one of the first to know about our season-long event, The Summer of SEO.
I'm so excited to reveal most of the fun to you today! (There may be a surprise or two coming as well.) Here's what's happening all summer long (or winter, if you're one of our friends in the Southern Hemisphere).
| ⭐️ Take Me to the Summer of SEO Page ⭐️ |
This is your opportunity to finally get serious about using search as a tool to get more right-fit eyes on your message. We've crafted the Summer of SEO to fit a broad range of our audience's needs, so all of us at Team SM&Co hope that you find something that just feels right!
Free Workshop on May 25: Three Keys to SEO Success
This may surprise you because I'm not going to talk about keywords and metas and techy stuff. Instead, I'll break down my method for crafting SEO based marketing funnels. This is the workshop I usually teach in colleagues' programs, so it's a fun opportunity to get some learning usually reserved for closed communities.
| ⭐️ Sign Up for Free! ⭐️ |
SEO Funnel Workshop Series: June, July, August
I haven't taught this workshop series as a whole since 2020 and I'm so excited to bring back a totally overhauled approach! This is a three-parter that is designed to help you understand and implement a thoughtful, approachable, discoverable search-driven marketing funnel.
- SEO Funnel Roadmap: Live Workshop June 21 @11am Pacific
- Search-First Pillars: Live Workshop July 19 @11am Pacific
- Get Found with Q&As: Live Workshop August 15 @11am Pacific
Each workshop is $95 and, of course, recordings will be available just as soon as we're able to get the video processed and uploaded (we aim for within 24 hours). Each one will have supporting materials, a chance for questions and answers, and you'll get access to our Summer of SEO Facebook group to ask questions and network with other interesting, smart business owners.
👉 We also have an All-Access Pass for the whole SEO Funnel Workshop Series that's a really, really good deal.
| ⭐️ Go All-Access ⭐️ |
You can get detailed descriptions of each of the workshops on the main Summer of SEO page. They are best taken as a series, but you can also pick and choose if one is particularly exciting to you. And, you can upgrade to all-access up until August 14.
And, if you're one of our Spark Sessions or Accelerator clients, you will automatically get an All-Access pass for the three workshops (we're working on that right now).
No promises, but we're working as hard as we possible can to re-edit and re-record one of our other SEO courses for the summer as well. So stay tuned!
Finally, we also are offering expanded openings for done-for-you SEO projects.
This includes our popular SEO Audit & Opportunities program, which usually only has one slot per month available, and additional spaces for standalone strategic SEO overhauls. Just hit reply or check out the info page for pricing and additional details.
If you're unsure if SEO is the right strategy for you to reach more aligned people, my recommendation is that you pop into the free workshop on May 25.
I'm going to break down my super simple approach to building search-first marketing strategies and you'll have the chance to ask any questions you may have! (Again, if you aren't able to make it live, sign up anyway and ask your question in advance.)
As always, if you have questions, reach out—I do my best to answer them personally, but if not me, then a team member will get back to you as soon as possible.
Talk soon,
Sarah

Hello Reader, Remember that marketing strategy self-assessment I launched last year? I figured most of you would be in the "Create Your Body of Work" stage. After all, you're already out there doing the work, right? I assumed that reality correlated to my audience being fairly far along in their marketing journeys. But guess what? Month after month, the data from that assessment tells a different story. Turns out, the majority of you are in the "Clarify Your Foundations" zone. (Plot twist,...
Hello Reader, Last year my biggest single business expense line item (aside from mine and Josh's paychecks) was legal fees. No, I didn't find myself in hot water with the law, I finally sucked it up and dealt with a lot of long-standing legal tasks that needed to be handled: new contract, copyright filings, and the (slow, slow, slow) trademarking process for my Alignthority™ system. Why did it take me so long to get this important stuff tackled? I was afraid of being a bad client, or "getting...
Hello Reader, Have you ever asked Siri or Google how to do something? Here are some examples: How do I invest for retirement How to plant an edible garden How to price my consulting services How to get started mountain biking How can I travel using points How to hire a trademark attorney Fun-ish fact: I generated all of those examples using Google's autocomplete searches. Those are phrases that pop up when you type into the browser. A lot of searches start with "how," both in search engines...
