AI SEO Courses: the 2026 comparison table
AI SEO Course Study compares 65 programs from 45 providers. Each record is checked against a public provider or curriculum page and keeps its own verification date.
Every row links to a course record with the evidence behind each Yes or No. The table is the full dataset behind the AI SEO course study; the same rows are downloadable as JSON and CSV. For category leaders instead of the full list, start with the AI SEO course picks by goal.

How to read the AI SEO courses table
In the AI SEO courses table, the GEO, AEO, LLM citations, Entity SEO, AI measurement and Traditional SEO columns record whether the public curriculum explicitly covers that subject. Yes means the provider's own page names it. No means the page describes the curriculum and does not name it. Unverified means the page does not describe the curriculum in enough detail to say either way.
Price is the headline figure in US dollars on the day checked: monthly for memberships, one-time for courses and cohorts, and the bundle price where the course is only sold with software. Providers change prices without notice; AI SEO Course Study records the date rather than promising the figure is still current.

Questions about the AI SEO courses dataset
These questions about the AI SEO courses dataset cover how many programs are tracked, what counts as an AI SEO course and why a course shows Unverified.
How many AI SEO courses are tracked?
65 programs from 45 providers as of October 1, 2026.
What counts as an AI SEO course here?
A program whose public curriculum contains substantive training on AI search optimization, GEO, AEO, LLM visibility or AI-driven search. A general SEO course is not included merely because it mentions ChatGPT.
