Joshua originally got involved with SEO as an end result of selling on eBay.  He loved selling on eBay but hated paying the eBay commission fees. Instead of paying eBay every time he sold an item he decided to make his own website where he could sell as many items as he wanted without paying any fees.

After building the website he noticed his site was nowhere to be found in Google and no one was buying his products.

As you do, he started to Google things like “how to get my website higher in Google” and stumbled across SEO in 2016.

Joshua remembers this day like it was yesterday and says whilst smiling “Sept 13th 2013, the day I stumbled across SEO. I knew from this point on my future would take a different direction”.

This was the date Joshua started learning exactly how SEO works. He mastered the skill within 3 years and now regularly helps business owners in the UK rank higher in Google and generate more revenue.

The knowledge is valuable, but the course is outdated because Google Ads looks completely different nowadays compared to what we can see in the videos. It has also different features.

By Subhasmita Senapati on 9/1/2026

Some topics are good, but I wish the course were a little more detailed on campaign optimisation, ad creation, and how to create powerful Ad content, which would help a beginner like me. For me, this is an average course.

By Lucy Gartside on 7/7/2026

Thank you so much for this course. I had been doing everything wrong until I took this course. I have now set up some campaigns and looking forward to seeing some results. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to really understand how google ads works and is looking for step by step instructions. It has saved me having to pay someone else to do it for me.
