About Marie Haynes

Thank you so much for considering purchase of my courses or subscription to my newsletters. If you're interested, here is a little bit of information about me and how I can help you.

Experience

I've been doing SEO since 2008. In 2012 I began doing SEO consulting full time. I had been a veterinarian for over 13 years and although I loved my job, I was MUCH more obsessed with figuring out Google than I was with fixing up pets. I know that seems crazy, but I have absolutely no regrets and love what I do today.

If you have heard of me before, you probably know that I am an expert in Google penalties and algorithm changes like Panda and Penguin. I have lifted hundreds of penalties. I've consulted with a huge number of businesses with issues with Google's Panda and Penguin algorithms. If you're interested you can go here to read about case studies and testimonials.

I also speak regularly at search engine conferences like Pubcon and SMX. I'm regularly quoted on well known Search Publications such as Search Engine Round Table or The SEM Post. Rand Fishkin, the founder of Moz.com considers me someone with "remarkable SEO expertise" and listed me as one of his top five influencers in the industry. I have also served as an expert SEO witness in a multi-million dollar court case involving a Google penalty.

But don't you just do penalties?

Since starting my SEO consulting I have been privileged to work with companies of varying sizes.  While I found that I could make the most money consulting with the large businesses, I have found that I get the most joy out of helping small business owners with their SEO problems.

In the last few years I have done monthly consulting for general SEO with quite a few small businesses. I have seen some incredible successes. I have run successful SEO campaigns for lawyers, dentists, veterinarians, photographers and many other businesses. I've also worked alongside with some of these businesses in offering coaching. Here's a couple of screenshots from clients of mine. The first is a lawyer who was able to overcome stiff competition. The second is a local small business that was able to outrank some huge players in their city.

I love doing this kind of SEO work, but I found that there weren't enough hours in my day! I get requests almost every day for SEO help, but there is a limit to how many clients I can take on. The next logical step really would be for me to hire a team, train them and create an SEO agency.

I have had several offers of funding (one of several million dollars) or partnership inquiries from people who have enough faith in me to want to join me in creating an incredible SEO agency. For some reason though, this path doesn't excite me. For years now I have had a dream of creating SEO courses and being able to help thousands of people to improve their search engine rankings.

About these courses

These SEO courses have taken me a LONG time to prepare. I've had people sitting on waiting lists for months asking me if they were ready yet and my response was always, "Soon...I'm working on them." Eventually I realized that in order to produce the courses that I wanted to create, I would have to dedicate 100% of my time to them. I stopped taking all new client work and have been actively working on this content for several months now.

These courses will help anyone who wants to improve their websites. However, right now, the people who will get the most out of them are small business owners. Most small businesses can't afford to hire a really good SEO company as the good ones will often charge thousands of dollars per month. My hope is that you, as a small businesses owner can use my course to train yourself or an employee on how to improve your website and get better rankings and more business as a result.

I also hope to train up a new generation of SEO professionals who can do good work and still stay within Google's guidelines. Many of the SEO tutorials and courses that you will find online now advocate techniques that contradict Google's Quality Guidelines. Sure, you can often see good results by paying for links or by doing sneaky things like running your own private blog network, but if you get caught by Google, your whole business can suffer immensely. Trust me...I've seen hundreds of businesses who were ruined because they hired an SEO company that tried to use shortcuts and sneaky tactics to trick Google into ranking them higher than their competitors. My goal is to train you to do such a good job at SEO that I can eventually refer SEO work to you! I only refer SEO work to people whom I really trust to do good, honest, Google-compliant work.

In the future you'll see more information about my long term plans for this course. I have some verbal agreements with a few large SEO agencies right now who have promised to offer job interviews to anyone who has taken my SEO course. Several of these companies have told me that their biggest problem right now is that they can't hire people who are skilled and understand SEO well. I hope to change that! I also hope to be able to teach you enough that should you wish, you could start your own freelance SEO consulting agency and make good money working from home with yourself as a boss.

Can you hire me?

I'm not doing individual consulting right now. However, I do have a list of individuals and SEO companies whom I trust to do good work. Some of these will also offer hourly consulting if you just need a little bit of help. Fill out this form and I'd be happy to connect you with an SEO Professional whom I'd recommend and trust.
