Get the Google position you deserve!

Ten years ago, our website, www.ctjt.biz didn’t show on Google searches. We were quoted silly money by SEO companies, who also made a lot of silly promises about results.

So we decided to do improve our Google position ourselves. Now, it’s top of Google page 1 with our top four search phrases.

As a result, our turnover has quadrupled and we have attracted more than 2,000 clients in 97 countries.

Perhaps optimising your site is a mystery to you as it was to us?

Well, we can do for you what weI did for our own site. The techniques we use really work. Our own site proves it.

These links show our Google position, today, for our top four courses:

Web editing course

Food journalism course

Sports journalism course

Online journalism course

And take a look at this graph, below. Recently, we decided to optimise our Proofreading and editing course. The main search phrase, ‘online proofreading course’, was trailing way down on page 3.

Here’s what happened a week after we used our optimising techniques:

And if you check the search phrase today, you’ll find it’s still fourth on page one:

Online proofreading course

You can see other examples here And you can see where our other top courses are ranked today just here

It works for us. And we can make it work for you!

'This is my attempt at freelance journalism in different kinds of settings and cultures. 

‘I have set up interviews along the way, asking people questions about ways in which their work affects their community, and to discover the nature of which causes a human to fight for a cause.

Joshua has set up a website and a blog:
