Bite-Sized SEO Tutorials Now Free From Josh Maraney

Johannesburg, October 2026. With the year drawing to a close and marketing plans under review, business owners can now learn how search engine optimisation works without paying a cent or creating an account. Josh Maraney, the founder of Top Click Media, has made 788 short videos available on his website, and SEO is the biggest subject in the collection: 181 shorts, grouped by topic and searchable by keyword.

For many South African businesses, October is planning season. New budgets get drafted, agency contracts are up for renewal and owners start to wonder whether their website is pulling its weight. SEO is often the piece of the marketing mix they feel least sure about. The library lets them close that gap gradually, through one short video after another.

Inside the SEO collection

Across the whole library, the 788 shorts are arranged into 72 topics. In the SEO group, Technical SEO leads with 28 shorts, then SEO Myths with 26 and Keyword Research with 25. Next come SEO strategy (18), Backlinks (17), Choosing an SEO Agency (12), Content and Blogging (12), SEO Results and Case Studies (11), On-Site SEO (8) and SEO Basics Explained (7). Several smaller groups cover page titles, meta descriptions, topical authority, digital PR, black hat tactics, duplicate content and how organic search differs from paid search.

The videos are built around real problems. On the technical side, viewers can find out what "Crawled, currently not indexed" means in Google Search Console, how one WordPress setting can prevent Google from indexing a site, and how to undo a noindex added by mistake. The keyword research shorts walk through the four kinds of search intent and explain why search volume deserves a look before any budget is committed. The myths series tackles popular misconceptions: that an SEO plugin does the SEO for you, that blogging on its own guarantees results, and that paying an SEO provider automatically means the work is getting done.

Why the videos are short

Every clip uses the vertical short format found on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, which fits how busy people really take in information. An owner can play one video in the gap between two meetings and leave with a single point to check on their own website. Over several weeks, those individual points build into a solid grasp of how search engines discover, interpret and rank a site.

That is exactly what the library is for: anyone after SEO video tutorials who has no time for hour-long courses gets a fast answer to one specific question, and the next relevant clip is only a click away.

How to find a video

The entire set of 788 shorts lives on a single page. People can enter a keyword in the search bar or choose a topic from the sidebar, then sort the results by relevance, most recent, most viewed or most liked. Every video plays right on the page, so nobody has to switch between tabs or apps.

The site is upfront about its structure. Its 72 topics are generated automatically from video titles, which means a short will now and then end up in a category nobody expected. When that happens, searching by keyword gets to the right clip faster.

Kept up to date

This is a living collection rather than a frozen archive. Each new short goes up on Josh Maraney's YouTube channel first and shows up in the library within a day. The earliest videos were made in 2015 and the latest arrived this month, so the library covers both long-established principles and recent shifts in search, including Google updates and the rising influence of AI assistants on how people look for information.

In SEO, where guidance can go stale fast, that is especially useful. Sorting by most recent shows what has changed lately, while searching a particular term brings up every short that touches on it.

Beyond SEO

SEO may be the largest subject, but it is far from the only one. The library also holds 148 shorts on AI, 137 on Google Ads, 73 on websites and e-commerce, 62 on business and agency topics, 59 on social media and 27 on local search and Google Maps, plus 83 on tools and gear. Someone exploring the SEO section will frequently find that a neighbouring question, such as whether paid ads should run alongside organic work, is covered elsewhere in the same set of digital marketing videos.

Who will find it useful

Different audiences can get value from the library. Small business owners can learn enough to put sharper questions to whoever looks after their website. Marketing managers can share a single short to explain a concept to their team. Anyone weighing up an SEO provider can work through the Choosing an SEO Agency topic, which shows how to check whether paid-for work is genuinely happening. Students and newcomers to digital marketing can treat it as a first step before deeper study.

Since no signup is required, a link to one video or to the full library can be passed along freely, with no account needed on the other end.

Rooted in client work

The content grows out of Josh Maraney's everyday work at Top Click Media, the digital marketing agency he runs. The shorts answer questions raised in genuine client conversations, which explains why so many focus on practical issues like indexing problems, backlinks and measuring results. Gathering everything in one place means a lesson filmed years ago is just as easy to reach as one uploaded yesterday.

For owners mapping out the coming year, the SEO section is a practical way to get informed ahead of the next strategy session or agency review. To explore the full library and search by topic, go to https://joshmaraney.com/.
