The 9 modules

Work through them in order. Every module ends with a hands-on exercise on your own business, so the homework is the work.

Module 1

SEO foundations for owners

How local search actually works, what Google rewards, and where owners waste money.

Hands-on exercise: audit your own Google presence against the foundations checklist.

Module 2

Keyword research in SEMrush

Find the search terms your customers actually type and decide which ones are worth chasing.

Hands-on exercise: build your first keyword map for your own services and service area.

Module 3

Google Business Profile setup and optimization

Claim, verify, and fully optimize the listing that drives most local calls.

Hands-on exercise: complete every field, category, service, and photo on your own profile.

Module 4

BrightLocal citation building and tracking

Build and clean your directory listings so your name, address, and phone agree everywhere.

Hands-on exercise: run your first citation cleanup and tracking report in BrightLocal.

Module 5

The reviews engine

Turn finished jobs into a steady flow of honest reviews, and answer them like an owner.

Hands-on exercise: set up your own review request routine and send the first batch.

Module 6

On-page basics

Titles, headings, and service pages that tell Google and customers exactly what you do.

Hands-on exercise: rewrite the titles and headings on your most important page.

Module 7

Content that earns calls

Write pages and posts that answer real customer questions instead of filling a blog.

Hands-on exercise: draft and publish your first customer-question article.

Module 8

Link building basics

How links actually work, which ones matter locally, and how to earn them without junk.

Hands-on exercise: build a target list of real local sites and send your first outreach.

Module 9

Monthly reporting, the 30-minute SEO routine

The short monthly routine that keeps everything moving after the course ends.

Hands-on exercise: run your first 30-minute monthly report on your own business.

What you bring

  • Your own BrightLocal login. The Academy teaches inside the tool, and the account stays yours.
  • Your own SEMrush login, used for the keyword research module and beyond.
  • A few hours per module. Most owners finish in 6 to 10 weeks.
  • One real business. Every exercise runs on your own services, your own market, your own site.

The certificate

Finish all 9 modules, including every hands-on exercise, and pass the final quiz at 80 or higher. The certificate carries your name, your completion date, and a unique certificate ID, so it is a real record of the work, not a participation trophy.
