Instructor Details

Samy Thuillier

Hi there,

My name is Samy Thuillier, I'm 40 years old and I'm thrilled to meet you!

For more than 13 years now, I have set up, promoted and improved the traffic of 400+ websites thanks to SEO and digital marketing. I’ve helped startup companies as well as the likes of the World Economic Forum, Airbnb and Whirlpool add millions in revenue thanks to made-to-measure strategies.

Dealing with the expanding selection of tools available is the largest challenge for anyone running an Internet business, or working as a digital marketer. To design reliable and effective mechanisms that address your fundamental business needs, you must understand how to use them, when to use them, and how they interact with one another.

That's why, I want to help you understand the most useful of these tools.

I really believe that using a hands-on approach, combined with just enough theory to clarify the concepts and lots of practice to be prepared to perform, is the greatest method to learn a new skill. That's why in my course, I'm trying my best to get to the point, focus on what's essential and cut the BS. You will always find real-world examples and use cases that go along with theoretical explanations.

Enjoy your time learning!

I am 50% through. I think the course is amazing and thoroughly detailed. Although it is less than a 6-hour course, It is difficult to rush it because of how much detail there is. I take notes on another app on my computer using split screen. It would be amazing if you "extra" zoom in when showing a specific area of the screen. It is not very bad though, a very minor issue that might exist for extremely picky people like myself! Thank you for the efforts and you deserve the 5 stars ;)

By Rommel Gonzales on 11/26/2024

The course is good and gave me an overview and basic knowledge about Semrush which I know nothing about before this course. It would have been five if there was an actual example of an SEO improvement of a website, say from page three to page two or even page 1. Of course that will take time but it's a possibility to include it in future modules.

By Paula Ferrero on 6/28/2024

I wanted to express my appreciation for your this Udemy course. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the course and found it to be incredibly informative and engaging. Your teaching style and expertise in the subject matter made the learning experience enjoyable. I particularly found the modules on On-Page SEO Checker & Keyword Research to be highly valuable. The way you explained The Keyword Overview was clear and easy to understand, and it has greatly enhanced my consideration on how/when to select a keyword to write content about. The practical examples and real-world applications provided a solid foundation for me to apply the knowledge in my own projects. However, I did notice that there were some modules, such as the backlink audit, that felt a bit repetitive (section 2 & section 6). While the content was still valuable, I believe condensing or combining those modules could help streamline the course and avoid redundancy. This would allow for more time to explore other relevant topics or dive deeper into certain areas. Once again, thank you for creating such a valuable course. I look forward to applying the knowledge gained from this course in my future endeavors.

The course is amazing and the instructor teaches not just use of SEMRush but how to use it in real-life case studies. The tool itself has great potential for SEO and very potent in hands of dedicated marketer.

By Alexander Mekis on 4/13/2024

For someone not having had any touchpoints with SEMRush before, this course is highly valuable and very easy to understand! I could follow Samy all the time and he is giving a lot of good examples. I feel very confident to start using SEMRush. One thing that I was missing is a cheat sheet after the end of each section with all the tips and recommendations Samy gave. However, I totally recommend this course if you are a beginner in SEO! Thank you, Samy!!!

Il corso è una buona panoramica del software. Alcune parti sono forse un po' affrettate e noiose, ma nel complesso le funzionalità vengono spiegate bene. Mia opinione: il sito di esempio (tesla.com) è forse un po' fuori luogo, sarebbe stato meglio prendere come esempio il sito di una azienda medio-piccola, più in linea con gli obiettivi della maggior parte degli studenti. Resta inoltre la piaga degli aggiornamenti software, che vale purtroppo per questo tipo di corsi: alcune parti del software sono oggi diverse o a pagamento. A ogni modo, resta un buon corso e sufficientemente aggiornato al 2023.

I am impressed to find this course. I am learning SEO and recently purchased a SEMRush premium package and needed a course that would take me through how the platform works. This course is incredible. Thank you Samy

By Jake Barone on 12/17/2023

This was a very comprehensive course on the ins and outs of semrush. Not only did I become an expert in how to use all the features of semrush, I learned a bit about basic SEO practices as well. The only compliant I have is there was a fair bit of overlap after passing section two. The presenter covered the same topic multiple times and I would have preferred to cover each topic/ tool once to save time. But overall, a great course!

By Maju Jaya Carpets on 11/30/2023

This Udemy course exceeded my expectations, thanks to the instructor's remarkable clarity and structure in their teaching approach. The instructions were organized and articulated in a manner that was incredibly easy to follow. What stood out most was how the instructor navigated through relevant tools, providing a comprehensive exploration that struck a perfect balance between depth and breadth. Their expertise shone through in each lesson, making complex concepts accessible and engaging. This course is a must for anyone looking to deepen their understanding in this field, with a teaching style that caters to both beginners and advanced learners alike.

By Julie Arrison Bishop on 8/21/2023

A few features are not available to free or bottom tier business users (i.e. content marketing) - reordering the course would be helpful to reflect SEMRush updates. Otherwise, this course was excellent. Samy has a great step-by-step teaching style, which helped me get to know SEMRush better.
