SEO Boardroom member review · 14 days ago · Signed up and paid a month ago“When you see all the free info Julian gives out from his YT channel and his free course, you wonder, if the private group would even be worth it? Well, let me answer that with a resounding yes! It’s not just all the info in the group you receive that you can’t get elsewhere but its his time and others taking the time to answer all questions from simple newbie questions to the detailed complex questions by veterans of SEO. Anyone doing SEO for their own sites or clients, they really need a place like this to be able to learn, ask questions and share ideas and get feedback in a quick manner.”

Hi, my name is Rob Palmer and I’ve been doing search engine marketing for over 20 years, so I don’t pay for SEO training or consultancy unless it’s really good. But when I came across Julian Goldie’s training videos, it was clear that he knows his stuff, so I invested in the SEO mastermind and that turned out to be a great decision. I’ve learned a lot from being part of the community and Julian always has fresh ideas to share, plus he’s ahead of the curve when it comes to innovating with technology such as AI. So as a result, I’m getting more first page rankings, more traffic and more sales, and that means I’m making more money. So if you’re looking for help with SEO, I highly recommend working with Julian and his team. It’s absolutely the best way to get results from search engine optimization.

So Don, you had a big breakthrough in your SEO agency recently. Where did you start and where are you up to now? So, I mean, I, it was pretty easy. I started, I started zero like most folks, right. I started, you know, with, with absolutely nothing. Joining the SEO elite circle was something that, that absolutely helped my business. For me, the referral pipeline has been the real accelerator for our agency. Because, I mean, essentially every week we’ve got four or five potential clients that we’re talking to about, you know, joining us, right? I learned a lot. What made me start our agency was this idea that I spent a lot of money. I probably spent close to a hundred thousand dollars in SEO services myself. So I got a little frustrated with that. Cause it was like, okay. So, I mean, there should be data here around everything everybody does. The Julian Goldie, Matt Diggity, you know, all of the, all of the, you know, your videos have helped as well. And, and for me, that was the, the greatest thing and the greatest value was just, you know, having that overall collective along with, you know, certainly your experience, you know, to being able to, to leverage that live, you know, was great for progressing my learning, but we make sure that everybody on the team more or less functions the same exact way. Right. We sort of walk everybody through the same exact SOP whenever we’re onboarding them, we walk them through every single technique as we go through as well. So yeah, I mean, I felt like, I felt like there were some real honest moments in the, in the learning for me as well.

Julian knows I started with him kind of with zero clients, right? So a lot of his SOPs and what he teaches here, there’s essentially men of six-figure income for my family, right? So I mean, it works and you got to kind of stick to it and work through it.

I like it very much. The way it is structured, you know, step by step and different type of courses that you can pick from. You don’t have to go through a whole course to understand, but you can go directly to the specific courses and the way Julian lays out all the lessons and the way he explains things is very, very simple and to the point. Not fluff, not nothing like that. So I love that. But I didn’t know SEO already and I tested and tried several things for some years already. But then when I started going through the lessons courses within the circle, I found things that they were very simple, but that I didn’t know. I was like, oh, I’m going to find this. Let me try that. And it has worked. So, yeah, definitely. It’s even for complete beginners to advance people. If you had a friend that wanted to start with SEO, would you recommend the course to them? A hundred percent. I myself once I started going through all the courses again and how Julian has everything laid out and the weekly meetings and and the, you know, the accessibility of you and Julian and the team made me decide to just cancel any other subscriptions and courses and other things that I have because I feel that I got everything here in this elite circle. So definitely I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to find the real information about how to work with the CEO or themselves or start working and make money with SEO.

You’ve been learning from the SEO Elite circle, right? How’s that been going so far? Yeah, well, yeah, I didn’t know how to structure any of my site or anything, so that’s why I jumped on to the circle. Basically, from start to finish, starts at keyword research, goes through your content, how to get it indexed, backlinking. Everything’s in there, so it’s made it so easy for me. Yeah, today I’ve just gone through adding Yoast to my site, which has cleared up so much stuff as well. Yeah, it’s basically step by step and very easy and very knowledgeable. So yeah, 100% recommend that if anyone’s sitting on the sideline and you need some help, jump in. It’s really good.

If you need everything from a six-week course to kind of hold your hand through everything, SOPs, everything is just freely given. Nothing is expected. If you need help with absolutely anything, I’ve never had a problem getting a hold of Julian or anyone on his team. It really is an easy decision if you want to take your SEO game to the next level. Don’t hesitate. It’s easy. He makes it fun. You can jump on his calls and interact with Julian and ask him any questions you have and he’s always around and available and willing to help. Yeah, I mean that’s pretty much it. It’s an easy decision for me and I haven’t worked that since.

Hello, my name is Kyle. I’ve gone through and been using Julian Goldie’s Mastermind program for about the last five months. It’s helped out a ton. Whenever I’ve had a question about parasite indexing, how to do internal linking, any of that, he’s gone through and got back with me. That’s within the same day and it worked. He gave me a couple tips and sure enough within an hour or two those pages were indexed. So I want to give a huge shout out to Julian for going through and putting this together and helping out me, not only me, but everyone else in that Mastermind. I also want to go through and say the video portion of it helped out a ton. The SOPs helped out a ton. Having the Google Meets so we can go get on there and talk with him live has been an amazing help to me. He’s started growing my website traffic a ton. So once again, I just want to give a huge shout out to Julian for going through and offering this, especially at the price point that he is.

Before I discovered Julian Goldie’s SEO mastermind course, I felt like I was shooting myself in the dark with my online marketing strategies. Every day was a struggle trying to get my content noticed in the vast sea of the internet, shall we say. But yeah, I tried everything, spending countless hours on other SEO tactics, but nothing seemed to make a difference. Then I came across Julian Goldie’s on YouTube and yeah, everything changed since I joined his course. His course not only armed with proven techniques and strategies, but also connected me with other people who were like-minded and in the space and wanted to learn about the SEO game and make money online. But yeah, today thanks to Julian, my website has tripled in traffic, I’m doing really well with my websites and my content consistently ranks on the first page of the search results, which was one of the main reasons why I decided to join his course because I wanted to, you know, the algorithm, shall we say. But yeah, all in all the course was a total game changer and if you are serious about mastering SEO, I can’t recommend Julian Goldie’s mastermind course enough.

Yes, biggest thing for me, I think the school communities are like a really good point to connect and it’s lonely up the top. So when people are getting started, especially they don’t know what to do or where to go, it’s always good to have other blokes that you get to talk to about. So that’s why I think that your community is a solid one for anyone in SEO. Thanks man. Yeah. Appreciate that. I think there’s a lot of good guys in there doing SEO, a lot of agencies as well. So it’s kind of like, it’s just good to share everything in one place.

Don’s Elite Circle story: from zero to landing clients
Read the transcript
Automatic transcript of the video (brand names corrected).
So Don, you had a big breakthrough in your SEO agency recently. Where did you start and where are you up to now? Yeah. So, I mean, I, it was pretty easy. I started, I started zero and yeah, I mean, like most folks, right. I started, you know, with, with absolutely nothing and had to keep thinking about, you know, how do you find, how do you find clients? You know, and I felt like, you know, I was scraping quite a few clients together here and there throughout my time. And then, I mean, to, to be totally transparent with you, I mean, joining the SEO elite circle was something that, that absolutely helped my business because I felt like the one thing that you kept saying throughout all of the video lessons along with our live sessions was that you have to focus. You have to, to really find people that are ready, more or less for SEO. Um, because I mean, I would say that before then I was spending most of my time, you’re trying to, to work cold leads, which is a very tough, totally different game and by, you know, working through some of the things that are in the, the lessons that you have, I was able to really focus in on, okay. So who really has the dollars to spend a marketing budget of some sort. And then also, you know, how did they, you know, also come to a point where they’re ready, you know, more or less for, for our services. So, so yeah, it really helped me. That’s amazing, man. I’m so happy for you. Thanks. I mean, you know, honestly, I, it, it really helps to have somebody experience that’s already been there, you know, like yourself and others in the group, right? I mean, we haven’t certainly had other very experienced people, um, in our group as well, that were able to just get me thinking about other ways that we could find, find leads. So yeah. What did you, how did you get your first few clients? Like what technique did you decide to stick to? Yeah. So I certainly tried your, your method of looking on page two. I mean, that was kind of, you know, one of the, one of the methods that I started with was, you know, okay. So look on page two for people, you know, that might be near page one of Google, you know, for a particular topic and then sort of, you know, work my way, you know, through there and, you know, I certainly started there by finding clients though, and having those solid clients, people started referring. And so that for me, the referral pipeline has been the real accelerator for our agency, because I mean, essentially every week we’ve got, you know, four or five clients that four or five potential clients that we’re talking to about, you know, joining us, right? And so, you know, that’s, that part’s amazing, but you know, that pipeline takes a long time to sort of work through as well. It’s not like, you know, you meet with them today and then tomorrow their client, you know, it takes some time to sort of work through that as well throughout time. Yeah. The other thing I would say is like, that’s when you know, you’re doing a good job when clients start referring you, like that’s a really good sign that you’ve nailed it in terms of operations. How’s that been in terms of not just landing the clients and scaling that, also scaling the delivery of SEO, which sometimes it can be a bit technical, right? Yeah. So, I mean, I would say that I learned a lot, right? So what, what made me, maybe if I just back up a little bit, what made me start our agency was this idea that I spent a lot of money. I probably spent close to a hundred thousand dollars in SEO services myself. So I got a little frustrated with that because it was like, okay. So, I mean, there should be data here around everything everybody does. And whenever people would, people would show up on calls with me, I would say, okay, so show me what you’ve done, but also show me the data around it. And they would show me, you know, a couple graphs or trending upwards or whatever, but we would sort of go really in depth in terms of what they did find or didn’t find. Because as I spent more and more money, I learned more, I would say. And I just kept thinking there’s got to be a better way to do this overall. And so we started using this approach of, you know, really data driven basis behind everything that we do. So we start with the topical map. We sort of work our way through with clients in terms of what it is that they want to rank for how tough or easy that might be because oftentimes, you know, they want, you know, Hey, I want page one in Google. My website’s about 30 days old and you know, I’ve got a really tough keyword. And the reality is the only way to get even closest to buy ads. And so, you know, we, we sort of pivot then and start talking to them about, is that what they want to do? Do they want to go buy ads versus spend dollars on SEO? And we’re able to do that, but you know, we also have to work through all the same basics that everybody does, you know, the technical, technical SEO on page SEO, work back through keywords and what it is they want to rank for. And then lastly, establishing those backlinks, which we all know is a pretty tough game and so yeah, I, I, I overall, you know, walking through that journey with our clients has helped us, you know, really establish that capability as well. Yeah. One thing that my journey as an agency has definitely taught me, and I think this is something you touched on as well. It’s like, you don’t have to know all the answers from day one. It’s like such a journey of growth, both personally and with business that you can learn along the way and like, I think that’s really where the growth comes from, right? It’s like, I don’t know how to sell. Well, I’ll just figure that out and I’ll jump on calls with clients and I’ll get better and better at it. And the same with like hiring or, or advertising or anything, right? Yeah, absolutely. And I feel like the Julian Goldie, Matt Diggity, you know, all of the, all of the, you know, your videos have helped as well because you know, you constantly put out a video that says SEO is dead, right? You know, we all kind of, you know, go, okay, well, what will this video be about? And it’s, you know, normally about, you know, the next, the next model or the next pivot that we might all take. And I feel like that’s, that’s really, you know, sort of the basis of SEO is that you got to continue to learn throughout time. Yeah, that’s it. I think if anyone’s watching this and they’re like, I’m not ready to start an agency or I don’t have enough skills, it’s like you can build those as you go along, like you don’t have to go full gung-ho mode as soon as you start, right? You don’t need to know all the answers. Yeah. And I mean, the reality is having more and more clients, which provides you more experience, right? You learn more into those, those different things sort of help you establish that basis too. 100%. The other thing that I’ve seen a lot of people being limited by, but I never saw that with you and you know, you’ve been in the SEO league. It’s like a lot of people feel like it’s too competitive. Well, there’s too many agencies out there to compete with, but actually that’s not true at all. Right. No. And, and it kind of frustrates, the thing that kind of frustrates me is there are a million people that are out there that are taking people’s money that, that provide zero value and that part it’s frustrating for me because it’s like, you know, look, if I, if I truly felt like month after month of that, I was taking somebody’s money and I’m not sort of progressing them along. Then the reality is I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t have a real passion around doing this. And that’s where I think the clients themselves, you know, start to look at this and they go, man, every dollar that I’m spending actually is of great value to us and you know, we want to keep, keep going. And so do I, I mean, I’m absolutely passionate about, about that part of it. But think about all the website companies that are out there that do zero SEO as well. So they make the most beautiful website in the world, great graphics and, you know, great landing page, great hero image, those sort of things, you know, right on the first page and then zero SEO behind it. And so the, the, the website won’t rank. And I keep telling people, my analogy to that is it’s like having a business card and sticking it in your pocket and wondering why you can’t get business. Right. And so, you know, we try and figure out how to, how do we get that business card out there so that people can see it and then know what you do, what value you provide and, and that helps a lot of our clients, you know, really move forward too. Yeah. The other thing I wonder as well is like when you’re a smaller agency, let’s say you’re just getting started with your first five or 10 clients and you know, you, you were at the point where you have that relationship with your clients directly. And I think that is such a USP, the other big SEO agencies people might be worried about competing with actually, they can’t compete with you because the CEO of the hot for someone like that can’t have a personal relationship with all their clients like you can. Well, it was one of the things that one of my early clients had said to me was, wait a minute. So you don’t turn me over to an account manager. And I said, no. I mean, really, whenever you’re working with me, you are working with me. I have, we have other clients that are, have established a relationship with somebody else on my team. And that person is their person. But the reality is, you know, if you’re working with me, you will stay with me throughout the time that you’re with my agency. Now, at what point I, you know, it’ll get to be where I can’t do that anymore, I don’t know, but we make sure that everybody on the team more or less functions the same exact way, right? We sort of walk everybody through the same exact SOP. Whenever we’re onboarding them, we walk them through every single technique as we go through as well. Yeah. And another thing that I found along the journey of building the agency is like the more friends or the more people I know, especially in communities that are doing the same things, easy that journey gets, I think some people like, no, no, I’m just going to do it myself and figure out myself. And then you see them a year or two years later and they haven’t progressed. Right. Like how have you found, for example, jumping on the live calls with everyone else? Has that been helpful? For me, it was phenomenal because, you know, I had not just you, but also other people, other agency owners who, you know, were, were somewhere in that same journey trying to figure it out. Right. And maybe we don’t all have the answers, but at the same time, whenever you have a room full of ideas, why not go try a bunch of those different ideas? Right. And, and for me, that was the greatest thing and the greatest value was just, you know, having that overall collective along with, you know, certainly your experience, you know, to being able to, to leverage that live, you know, it was great for progressing my learning. And, you know, you have basic questions that oftentimes prevent you from being able to, to answer even the most basic next step. And so, you know, you and I would, we’d talk about things like, no, Don, and so, so yeah, I mean, I felt like, I felt like there was some real honest moments in the, in the learning for me as well. Yeah, me too. Me too. I mean, I learned as well, jumping on those calls myself, I think it’s a great place to share what’s working and what’s not working. So what’s next for your agency then? What’s your plan? Yeah. So, I mean, it’s interesting to me because the, the more that I continue to think about the evolution of the agency itself, we will get into more elements of digital PR. I mean, if you think about, you know, establishing backlinks and things like that, yes, it’s important, but also I feel like there’s, there’s things around digital PR that we can do a little bit better as well. And so as we continue to evolve, that’s kind of where we’re going next. I’ve got meetings, you know, already this week around that as well, you know, to try and continue to just evolve and learn just because I think at the end of the day, whenever clients need good backlinks, it might be great to have, you know, a lot of established relationships with reporters and other things, which get you backlinks at the end of the day as well. So yeah. 100%. And all right. What’s the best way to contact you? If you know, someone is watching this, they want some PR, for example. Yeah. So if you go to d3digitalmedia.com, the short web address for that is d3dm.com. So both will take you to the same website and that’s probably the best way. You can also find me on LinkedIn. I’m almost everywhere as Don Davis, PhD, MBA. So if you look for those things, so you’ll find me. Awesome. One final question I wanted to ask actually, and I think a lot of SEOs watching this hesitant to do client work because they’re worried that it’s too stressful dealing with clients. What’s your take on that? Well, I have one client right now who is extremely challenging on an almost daily basis in terms of, you know, what it is that we’re doing, but I also, I was talking to my wife about this over the weekend. I feel like that additional challenge is something that will continue to evolve us as well. So that mean one, it’ll sort of show us, you know, what kinds of clients that we want to work with in the future and sort of what are those boundaries of, of, you know, what they should expect as well. So that they, you clearly understand that SEO is not a one and done, you know, kind of game, it’s also not something that’s done overnight. And it is somewhat stressful. I won’t, you know, I won’t deny that, but at the same time, what you’ll find is that you mature, the client matures. And at the end of the day, I don’t think it’s any more stressful than anything else that you could do. Yeah. A hundred percent. I agree with that. I think you have to set clear boundaries, but that’s, you learn, that’s something else you learn along the journey, you know, so yeah. Appreciate you being on, man. Thanks a lot.

Proof 1: members who stayed 6 to 18 months
A member who stays a year is a better signal than a five-star review on day one. These reviewers were all still paying members when I captured their reviews on 9 November 2026.
“The best Skool course you get for AI! I have attended a few Skool courses before, but AI Profit Boardroom is the most active community and has great support from the management team, including Julian! You can get the most up-to-date information and practical implementations in this community. I highly recommend this!”

Oct 2026 · Still a paying member after 10 months · AI Profit Boardroom review on Skool“I recommend this community. Most AI content pushes you to chase the newest tool. This one focuses on taking action with what works, which is what I needed as a self taught builder. The owner and members are active and everyone’s questions get answered. Glad I found it.”

Goldie Agency publishes its client results with the original screenshots. Examples: Cloutly went from DR 16 to DR 28 in four months; a real estate site went from DR 3 to DR 19; Pixelied grew from about 38,000 to 87,000+ visitors a month in three months.

The honest caveats
- Results vary. No reviewer’s experience is a promise of yours.
- The marketing is bold. The Skool page uses urgent, sales-style language. Judge the product by the reviews and the free content, not the headline.
- Not everyone stays. Of 155 review cards on Skool when captured, 51 were from former members, and a few left short negative reviews.
- The Skool page lists refund terms — read them before you join.
My verdict: is Julian Goldie legit?
I’ve put the evidence and the criticism on one page because I think it holds up. Check the channel, read the Skool reviews, look at the client screenshots, then decide. That’s the honest answer to is Julian Goldie legit.
