A dedicated, end-to-end practitioner SEO course for the era of generative engines, updated for 2026. You learn the whole flow: the durable principles (E-E-A-T, search intent, site architecture, structured data) separated from the volatile tactics marked "verify against current sources", AI-assisted technical SEO, keyword and intent research at scale, topic clusters and topical authority, then the new layer — AEO and GEO: how to appear in Google AI Overviews and how to get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini, plus measuring citations (share-of-voice, Profound, Otterly) in the zero-click era. Everything anchored in real, dated sources (the Ahrefs study on the ~58% CTR drop for position 1, the Princeton GEO study at ACM KDD, Google's official guidance stating that "AEO and GEO are still SEO"), with an anti-snake-oil lesson that debunks myths (llms.txt, magic schema) and a chapter on ethics, consumer protection rules and re-verification. No guaranteed-rankings promises — you guarantee only methodology and process.
