Evidence for this record
Course outcomes cover sizing SEO revenue, prioritizing initiatives by topics and topical authority rather than keywords, producing content that outranks competitors, building an ROI narrative, and understanding how the evolution of AI search affects search optimization. No module list is published; the page does not mention GEO, AEO, ChatGPT, citations, entities or AI visibility measurement, and states it is not for people needing deep technical or programmatic SEO.
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.
