Who is this course for?

PR agency owners, consultants and business-development teams who want a clearer route from targeted outreach to qualified, deliverable client work. Beginners can follow the sequence; experienced operators can use the worksheets to repair a specific bottleneck.

How much time should I allow?

Each lesson contains roughly 600 instructional words plus examples of action, a worksheet and a knowledge check. Allow about 10–15 minutes to study and around 30 minutes for the practical task. The full path represents approximately 16–20 hours, depending on your research and experience.

Do I need paid tools or an existing agency website?

No purchase is required to study. Worksheets include sample scenarios you can use without a website or live prospects. Executing paid LinkedIn campaigns, using particular Grok features or attending events may require separate access and budgets. Check current availability before committing spend.

Does the course include journalist-profile guidance?

Yes. The event module explains the Sitetrail profile and affiliation route, reporting preparation, media applications, useful interviews and a clear handoff to separate agency conversations. Event organizers decide accreditation under their own criteria.

Is the course and certificate really free?

Yes. Study, worksheets, lesson checks, the assessment and certificate download are free. A clearly labelled NewsPass or Guest Post Marketplace promotion appears at the bottom of every lesson. Buying a service is not required to learn or receive your result.

How does progress work?

Your browser saves completed lesson checks, first attempts, worksheet notes and assessment progress when local storage is available. You can download worksheets and a certificate. Records do not sync to another device, and clearing browser data removes them. A full assessment retake becomes available after 30 days in the same browser.

Who created the course?

Adriaan Brits, CEO of Sitetrail, holds an MSc in Marketing and is a former LinkedIn Learning instructor in SEO, Advanced Google Analytics and Google Ads. The lessons combine practical agency workflows with linked product and professional references. Worked business examples are illustrative rather than client testimonials.

Build a pipeline you can deliver for.

Use the worksheets to turn each lesson into a real decision. Revisit your assumptions as you learn from prospects, clients and partners.
