The SEO Playbook

Repeatable step-by-step processes to scale organic traffic and conversions across any website.

Hi, I'm Robbie Richards

Over the last 8+ years, I've built and executed successful search marketing campaigns for a wide range of companies, from small local businesses all the way up to larger well-funded brands.

In the beginning, it was smooth sailing. A one-man show (me), with a handful of clients. But, as my agency began to bring on more clients and the team grew, things changed....

We didn’t have structured processes around any of our core service deliverables. It was a “free-for-all”. We’d all plug in our headphones, log into some tools, pop open a couple spreadsheets...and stare at the screen.

"Where do I start?" and "What do I do next?"...

Those were two common questions both in the office, and at home while working on personal website projects. Whether it was performing a technical content audit, or building out a structured keyword map for a large client. The result was a TON of wasted time spinning our wheels, instead of getting shit done.

So, I started building out a library of the repeatable processes I first used to grow my blog from zero to a multi six-figure business, and then generate bottom line results for clients across dozens of different industries, from property management and marine electronics to B2B SaaS and defamation law.


The result is "The SEO Playbook". One of the most in-depth search marketing training courses on the planet.

This is not a beginners level course on theory, but a series of repeatable systems you can use to build marketable skill sets, train and make employees billable faster, and/or implement immediately to grow your business.

What People Are Saying...

Robbie is a marketing practitioner who runs his own agency. He really knows his stuff, and, most importantly, he's great at teaching it!

Watch Me Implement the Playbook Processes
on REAL Businesses (From Start to Finish)

Real Businesses


Unlike other SEO training courses that are filled with slides, theory and fluff, you’ll get to watch over my shoulder as I implement the training on real businesses, going from a blank template to a finished project you could sell to a client.

I record every step of the process in each Playbook so you can follow along step-by-step and implement everything I do, as I do it for your business and/or clients.

Running a team? No worries. Just hand off the Project Planners (below) to your staff for training. They contain links to all the videos, process docs and supporting templates. 


"I had the pleasure of collaborating with Robbie on a Forbes article and was blown away by his knowledge of technical SEO. So, I was pumped when I found out he was creating a SEO Training Course. What I love about Robbie's training is that it's super practical, involving real businesses and diagnosing their SEO issues. It's something I can takeaway and use for my clients today."

"The best hands-on course I have experienced in my 12 years working in SEO.


I'm using the Content Audit Playbook on a website that has been losing traffic and conversions. After only 3-4 hours of analysis, I've identified the issue, and it's suddenly clear to me what to do to turn this losing site into a winner again!

Stay Organized & Boost Productivity
with Project Planners

Project Planners

Where do I start? What do I do next? Two questions you’ll never ask or hear again.

To make following the material and training team members as easy as possible, I’ve built centralized Project Planners that house all the process docs, templates and training videos in each Playbook.

Think of the Planners as a linear to-do list. Assign owners and watch your productivity (and RESULTS) skyrocket. 

"This course contains a library of step-by-step video tutorials, SOPs and templates you can take and apply it to your business (or a client's) immediately, and get results. Everything is organized in Planners, which makes following each Playbook and training our team members super easy."

DON'T QUESTION IT - JUST PICK THIS UP NOW...

After reading Robbie's free guides on Increasing Organic Traffic, I could tell he knew his sh*t. I picked up his course, and no regrets what-so-ever. There is a LOT of stuff to go through, and I mean a lot. It's broken up into short 3-20 minute videos for the most part, so it's easy to follow along and do the same work on my 2nd monitor as he's doing it.


Long story short, this is an AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING course. It's NOT for beginners, but if you're a decent SEO and want to take your skills to another level, don't question it - just pick this up now. I'm not getting paid to write this or anything, just sharing my honest thoughts about it. Thanks Robbie, 2 thumbs up!

Ralph

EXTREMELY HANDS-ON...

"I'll admit, I hesitated a week before I purchased the SEO playbook. Until then I never spent more than $100 for a course – but I knew Robbie’s course was going to be worth it. The course material is extremely powerful and hands-on. When I finished the course I signed up for the Playbook Slack community which is a great place to help each other. Robbie personally helped me out a couple of times in the Slack group. I’d definitely recommend getting Robbie’s SEO Playbook!"

"I've bought my fair share of SEO courses, but many of them were disappointingly below par and a waste of time/money. The SEO Playbook on the other hand is one of the best if you're looking for more advanced SEO training.
 
I really enjoyed the detailed step by step processes and accompanied spreadsheets you get.
Best of all, and cherry on the top, is the high-end community you get access to where you can discuss SEO related issues with fellow members and Robbie himself. If you have any doubts or questions about the course hit me up on twitter @cobusvanvuuren."
