Kristin Bauer and the course audience

Kristin Bauer, whose first name is sometimes spelled Kristan, reports building a six-figure SEO consulting practice before creating the academy.

The training is aimed at freelancers who can perform SEO work but want to develop the business practices around it. It addresses challenges such as setting rates, preparing contracts and finding paying clients, including for consultants who have relied on word-of-mouth work or charged too little.

SEO Freelance Academy module breakdown

The first module concentrates on business planning, including break-even targets, brand decisions, credibility and a freelance website. The remaining modules move through defining services, generating leads, conducting discovery calls, preparing proposals and pricing, and turning one-off projects into monthly retainers.

The eight bonuses support those stages with practical resources such as contract templates, scope sheets, client questionnaires, pricing worksheets and credibility checklists. These materials address both the setup of the business and the documents used when taking on clients.

The course’s SEO business focus

SEO Freelance Academy teaches the operations of an SEO freelance business rather than advanced technical SEO. The course does not cover link-building tactics, programmatic SEO at scale or over-the-shoulder Ahrefs walkthroughs.

The contract materials are US-leaning.
