How to read the AI SEO courses table
GEO, AEO, LLM citations, Entity SEO, AI measurement and Traditional SEO 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
How many AI SEO courses are tracked?
27 programs from 27 providers as of September 16, 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.
Why does a course show Unverified?
The public page did not allow that attribute to be confirmed either way. Unverified records are excluded from that attribute's denominator in every finding.
