Testimonials

Christopher Smith, General Manager, Digital Services, National Australia Bank (NAB):

While building a new digital team at National Australia Bank (NAB), I hired Ash Nallawalla from TrainSEM Pty Ltd to develop our online site traffic and usage strategy, then I subsequently engaged him to help create the framework for our Social Media strategy. The results have been outstanding! Our search engine traffic doubled in less than a year (and is still growing) after implementing his recommendations.

Likewise, Ash’s assistance in the Social Media space has helped develop NAB as a thought leader in this area. Ash’s unique ability of getting into the detail of business needs and leveraging these to help drive business growth online has consistently delivered dividends. I’ve greatly enjoyed having Ash as part of my team. 24 July 2011

Anand Thomas, Head of Channel Development, National Australia Bank:

Ash is a subject matter expert in many areas of digital and in particular Social Media and Search. Ash played a pivotal role in defining the social media strategy for Personal Banking at NAB and was a key contributor to the different social media forums in the bank.

He played a key role in educating many stakeholders across the Group on the effective use of Social Media and I am one such person who greatly benefited from this knowledge. I have no hesitation in recommending Ash to any organisation serious about Social or Search. 20 June 2011

Sandeep Baruah, Group Manager –- Yellow Pages® Digital & Online Search, Sensis Pty Ltd:

I had the pleasure of working with Ash for around 18 months, when we hired him as the in-house Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) expert for Yellow Pages Online. I found Ash to be articulate, extremely knowledgeable about SEO & passionate about delivering results.

The results speak for themselves — Yellow Pages Online was able to increase traffic by over a million visits per month, as result of the SEO strategy implemented.

If you are looking for someone to help grow your traffic, especially through the full range of Search Engine Marketing, Ash is your man. 25 March 2010

Daniel Sims, Marketing Manager, Scope Systems

Prior to undertaking SEO training with Ash and the team at TrainSEM, I had only a very basic understanding of SEO practices. After the course, I now have an extremely good comprehension of SEO, how it works and importantly, how I can apply it to my own specific organisational requirements to improve the performance of my websites.

In addition to the very thorough course materials, I found Ash to be an exceptional SEO resource. He understands SEO intimately and could answer my questions with speed, accuracy and confidence. Ash could explain the concepts I needed to learn in a way that is easily understood and added substantial value to the training.

I would not hesitate to recommend Ash and the TrainSEM team to anyone looking to build up their own SEO skills. 15 September 2011

Elizabeth Rudd, Group Manager, Digital Marketing Services, Sensis:

I had the pleasure of working with Ash at Sensis developing an investment case. Ash is very knowledgeable about SEO and SEM both technically and commercially. He was a valuable team member contributing his expertise and educating the team in terms of what was both technically possible but also where we could realistically develop new products and services. He was a pleasure to work with and I hope we have the opportunity to work together again. I would recommend Ash as a valuable addition to any organisation or project looking to increase their Internet traffic and revenues. 19 August 2009

Gavin Doolan, Google Ireland:

As far as search engine marketing and website marketing goes, Ash Nallawalla is one of the very few people who have the experience, skill and knowledge to successfully run a marketing campaign.

In many ways I consider Ash as my mentor to the profession and am very grateful to have had to opportunity to work with him (at Melbourne IT).

If you are considering learning search engine marketing I would recommend you enroll into his course, you will not regret it. 13 August 2007

Before I started with TrainSEM Online I had absolutely no knowledge of SEO or SEM. By the time I had finished the Basics 101 course I had a very good general understanding of the topic with plenty of suggested reading material. The course is very comprehensive. This gives you much more than  definitions and generalities – it gives detailed, practical and at times highly technical advice on how to measure, diagnose and improve your rankings. For the serious student who can absorb all the lessons within, this course will take you from learner to an SEM professional.

If you are looking for a course that is packed with information from the basics through to the latest trends, I thoroughly recommend checking out TrainSEM. 1 September 2011
