Some of the links have expired as this is now a slightly older course and her website has been changed/updated. Otherwise great content and a lot to action/think about.

By Samy Mavanga on 10/12/2020

I give Chritel 4,5 I could more this course is so fantastic that I have registered to all her courses on SEO and Start & Run a succesful webdesign business, one small thing is that some web site example are outdated so the information didn't match with the actual web site, and also i could find where to download the SEO Reports, if later you can put it on the site. Thank you

By Maulik Zalavadia on 5/1/2020

Enjoyed and learned step by step process to start and run successful profitable SEO business. Everything was clear enough to understand and in a concise way. I have also bought another course about local SEO and would also have a look and get other courses that are offered by this instructor which are relevant for what I am interested to learn about. The only thing I am missing in this course is support. I posted one question under the course as one of the resource link wasn't working correctly. But no answer. Also, I sent request to joinig her Facebook group, but even after few days, I even completed the course, joining request still pending! Update, I got approved in one of their SEO FB group after a month! And when I posted my one more question in their other FB group no one bothers to answer!! So initially I rated this course 4.5 stars, but as no support is provided I am reducing to 3 star, as support plays very important role when learning from online course...

It looks that the teacher it is not really involved on the course, because all questions made in Udemy, most of them are not answered. Also, some links are not working and looked some resources are not according to the class. The whole course was under I expected, it is more like tips that a really training. I guess need to be reviewed, complemented and updated the full course, because it looks very promising.

By Saleh M. Alharthi on 5/17/2018

Fruitful course espeacially in term of how to start SEO business, however no ins and outs of how to make SEO itself that the instructor has another course for that.

By Ademola Adeosun on 3/27/2018

I was able to develop the confidence to take a shot at starting and running an SEO business. The instructor was detailed on the content and she delivered the content in a simplified manner. Here approach at always wanting to help in achieving success was alive throughout the course as she gave several resources that extends beyond the lifespan of the course. She was really, absolutely FANTASTIC!

By Hanifah Walidah on 12/16/2016

I've taken her other Local SEO course and really appreciated her detailed explanation of the Local SEO process. This course was perfect for helping me bring workflow and systems to my own starter SEO business. At least providing a strong foundation that I can understand how to tweak and evolve my business over time

By Domingo Sanna on 7/1/2015

I found this a very clear and based on experience course. While I have been working as marketing consultant and professor for years, I was interested in getting more income coming from the digital arena. Due to my technical and business background, I found SEO as a great open road to do that in my country and Christine´s course is the perfect resource to think seriously about making it happens.

Good information for those who want or starting SEO business. It is quite comprehensive and provide most information that you need for your business.

De très bons conseils pour se lancer comme freelance spécialisé SEO.
