Most small businesses are approached regularly by companies offering to help them appear higher in Google’s search results and, increasingly, in AI-powered search and recommendation tools.

SEO is often presented as a highly complex, technical discipline that requires specialist knowledge. In reality, there are clear, practical steps you can take yourself to improve how your website performs in both traditional search results and AI-driven search experiences.

Even if you decide not to do the work yourself, having a solid understanding of modern SEO, including how AI uses and evaluates website content, puts you in a much stronger position when working with SEO agencies or consultants.

Why Awesome Tech Training?

We are Steve, Lorna and Rachel - three friends who have worked together on and off for more than 25 years. Each of us has (many!) years of experience in different aspects of digital marketing and web development.

We’ve always enjoyed working together and in 2019 we decided to formalise this arrangement and so we set up Awesome Tech Training. Rachel is based in the UK home counties, whilst Lorna and Steve are based near Dundalk in Ireland.

Over the past few years we’ve build a range of webinars and other training courses firmly based on our own experiences of marketing, sales and web development in the real world.

We’ve been at this for a while, so we know what the pitfalls are, what can go wrong, what the most common problems are and how to address them!

We try and bring this real world, practical approach into everything that we do – offering webinar attendees and other clients the benefit of our own experience to apply to their specific circumstances.

Our clients tend to be small businesses who don’t have the resource to outsource their whole marketing operation and want to be able to take control of it themselves.

Our training is designed to be affordable, practically focused and results oriented so you can start putting what you’ve learned into practice immediately and get quick results.

More than 5,000 people have come on our webinars – see what our customers say about us here.

Mrs B.

Completed the SEO Webinar. which I found to be very informative and easy to follow especially as a non-technical person. I thought it was pitched at the right level of detail and liked that links to further resources were provided if we want to find out more about a particular aspect. It was really helpful that you can watch live or via a recording and you get copies of the slides for making notes

Sarah Smith

I've just attended Awesome Tech Training's Basics of SEO for small businesses - an hour of very useful information which gave me more confidence in managing the SEO for our site ourselves. I would definitely recommend as they also give you useful links and tips.
