“As I have worked through the course, I'm seeing increases in the number of people that are coming and how long they're staying, how much they're moving around. Understanding the analytics better also means that I can see areas where I can improve and they will make a difference.”
“Before working with Menekse I hadn't really heard of what SEO was. I built my website using a lot of googling as it's not an area I've much knowledge of, so I really was starting at zero.
There's a huge amount of information available on the course, really accessible. If you don't have much knowledge of that area, Menekse gives you systems that you can put in place so that you don't have to be thinking about the SEO day-to-day, you can just get on with running your business.
I feel much more comfortable with SEO now. I've learned how, if I can tweak just the things that I'm already doing on blog posts, on product listings, and the rest of my website, then I've got a much higher chance of being seen by the people who I want to be seen by.
Before starting the course I had really low numbers of visitors to my website. As I work through, I'm seeing increases in the number of people that are coming and how long they're staying, how much they're moving around. Understanding the analytics better also means that I can see areas where I can improve and they will make a difference.
I would say that Menekse is incredibly generous with the knowledge and experience that she has. And when you work with someone who is so enthusiastic about a subject, it's hard not to feel motivated to do the work and improve your SEO.”

“I wouldn't have dreamed that I could be a full time artist working and earning money this way because I hadn't cracked the digital marketing space - it's just been incredible. So I thoroughly recommend Marketing with Menekse, and all the programs and courses.”
“I have found SEO with Menekse has been a game changer for me - I've always found SEO really tricky, really complex and overwhelming. I just didn't know where to start.
But the programs that Menekse has outlined and the way she breaks it down makes it really easy to start, progress and see some quick wins, then understand the longer term benefits.
It’s really empowered me to drive my teaching business online, and in person it's getting me more website bookings.
I wouldn't have dreamed that I could be a full time artist working and earning money this way because I hadn't cracked the digital marketing space - it's just been incredible. So I thoroughly recommend Marketing with Menekse, and all the programs and courses, especially the community. The Slack community is really friendly.
I found the audit to be really helpful and impactful. It gave me an understanding of the different areas of my website that need work and development and why, and the recording walked it through and explained it to me. That really helped me to tick off the things I needed to do.
It was a great starting off point because I got advice that was tailored to me and I could then implement, and I thought it was really helpful. I'm taking the right steps in the right way to improve my website.
How do I feel about SEO now? Um, interesting question. It's not my best friend, but it's definitely a lot less scary, and I can see that it's something worth investing time in and building those blocks. It's not something I have to fully outsource. I obviously hugely benefit from Menekse's advice and will continue to do that, but it's slowly feeling like I can make good judgment calls and have relation to it as well.”

“Menekse is the only person I ever recommend [for SEO]… She has a passion about SEO you can hear as soon as she speaks, and she doesn't mind the same question being asked 1000 times.”
“Before I did any course with Menekse, I didn't really know anything about SEO. I literally had no idea and it was extremely overwhelming. What I really thoroughly enjoyed was the level of dedication Menekse gave to the lives that we were allowed to join and answering the questions really well.
The fact that I can dip in and out of the support… It was quite helpful that I could do what I could do that week and hop on a call and ask a question about what the problem was that week.
Menekse is the only person I ever recommend because of who she is. There's plenty of people doing SEO, but I think the way she has a passion about it that you can just hear it as soon as she speaks, and she doesn't mind the same question being asked 1000 times. And from a creative perspective, who has a different brain that just doesn't work in that way, being able to ask the same question a million times and not have an eye roll at me is brilliant.
Menekse has broken it down very well and it's understandable and she’s personable.”
Video Feedback from Live Illustrator Katie Chappell
“Since sorting out my SEO, I was able to quit my nanny job and just become a full time illustrator… I've worked for Facebook, Google, Instagram, the United and honestly it blows my mind like the people that find me from Google.”
“Now I feel about SEO like it's just part of what I do and I love that when I write a blog post I feel like I know what I'm doing. I know when I'm updating my website all the tiny little tweaks I can make.
Before I did this course I was getting a little bit of work but I still had to have a part time job to support this part of my business. Since sorting out my SEO, I was able to quit my nanny job and just become a full time illustrator.
I get inquiries every single day pretty much Monday to Friday - usually more than one inquiry a day from people who really want to hire me.
I've worked for Facebook, Google, Instagram the United Nations and honestly it blows my mind like the people that find me from Google.
Since doing my SEO and having my business take off in that way, I've co-founded another business helping illustrators. SEO is such a game changer for getting regular clients and having that consistency that means that you can quit your part time job or go all in and just know that you're going to get inquiries, even if you don't show up on social media.”

“This program has been the best investment I have done for my creative business. It has been a game changer for me.”
“It's given me so much more time to focus on the creative side of my business, which is really what it's all about. The marketing I know is being done for me in the background and I can focus on what I really love to do.
I started the program in November 2020 and already I can see that the traffic to my website is snowballing. It has resulted in sales, which has been really, really helpful because I'm a very new business owner and I can see now that it will continue to rise and now that I know how to optimise for keywords, how to write blog posts that actually attract customers into my funnel. There's so much that you learn through this course that has been very, very helpful for me. I can't stress that enough.
If you're thinking of working with Menekse, I'd say just go for it. Don't hesitate. She's the right person. She knows her subject really well. More importantly, she's super supportive, she's really there for you and she really wants you to succeed. And that's what I found and that's what I love about her. She has such great integrity. For me, it's so important to work with people who I can trust, and Menekse is that person.”
