Create a Course that Converts
Course Consult gives you the feedback you need to create the best course experience for your students using data-driven research, design strategy and student feedback from a conversion optimization perspective.
A Problem You May Have Overlooked
You’ve spent hours planning, writing and building an online course. You even went as far as to take an online course about how to build an online course. As you approach launch day, you focus on marketing and building buzz for the course.
You send a launch email mailing list and wait for the passive revenue to come through.
What’s going on? You’re using the best course technology platform and feel you’ve done everything right but students are not signing up for your course, and the ones that do are not finishing the content.
Get an Expert’s Perspective
At this point, you can search on Google through hundreds of blogs on courses, take your best guess or send a survey to your students and hope they give you feedback.
Feedback from students is great but can be vague and doesn’t inform you what exactly to change. You need guided feedback that highlights what you’re doing right as well as evaluates opportunities for improvement and will coach you on what exactly needs to change.
6 Essential Course Check Areas
Copywriting Check
Part of selling your course involves convincing the user that they can trust you to deliver on the promise you are making. I’ll evaluate your copywriting to ensure your course is as awesome as it can be.
Onboarding & First Impressions
The onboarding process is the main set of steps that will ensure your students will have a great course experience. I’ll give you an introspective first impression of your course from the perspective of a student.
Insight from Analytics
Review of Google Analytics and other tools to evaluate current performance and unlock future opportunities for marketing and growth.
Eliminate Mistakes in Content
Be confident that the written content in your course is free of mistakes. Over 400 punctuation, grammar, context and sentence checks Microsoft Word doesn’t catch.
Design Recommendations
A good design isn’t limited to visuals. Design is based on the details that make it easy for users to take in the information. You’ll be able to make data-driven design changes that focus on results.
Landing Page Optimization
I’ll apply a the same tools I use to analyze my consulting clients in my full 30-point optimization check and apply this to your main landing page and evaluate if it leads users down the decision to buy.

Common Questions
How much of my course will be reviewed?
For express clients I will review the landing page, sign up process and review at least 3 lessons. I may review more but it depends on the length of the course lessons. I will use discretion on which lessons to review.
What do I receive with the express option?
Express involves a video and commentary and takeaways you can implement on your course. This includes landing page review and the onboarding of your course. I’ll assess as much as i can within the 30 minutes based on the information provided.
