Evidence for this record
The curriculum is framed as moving from SEO to AI visibility and making content quotable inside AI-generated answers, with a lesson on schema and entity signals and a lesson on measuring visibility in AI search plus reporting on visibility insights. Digital PR and technical foundations are separate lessons. The page uses AI visibility language rather than the literal terms GEO or AEO.
Paraphrased from the public page on September 16, 2026. Yes means the provider's page names the subject; No means the page describes the curriculum without naming it; Unverified means the page does not describe the curriculum in enough detail to say.
How this record is used
This record is one of 27 in AI SEO Course Study's dataset. It contributes to the GEO, AEO, citation, measurement, pricing and format findings only where its value is Yes or No; Unverified values are excluded from that denominator. See the study's AI SEO Course Study's dataset for the aggregate figures.
