Essential SEO & GEO for Business

In the World of Google, ChatGPT and Claude

2-Day Programme for Marketing Teams and Business Leaders - covering SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)

Practitioner and leadership course - search and AI answer visibility

Introduction

The discovery battle has split in two. Customers still search on Google, but they increasingly ask AI answer engines instead - and if a business is never cited by AI, it is invisible in the fastest-growing discovery channel.

This programme teaches SEO and GEO side by side, so a team can rank in search results and be cited in AI answers using one coherent plan. It is designed for a mixed audience of practitioners and leaders.

No prior SEO knowledge required - just a laptop, access to the company website, and a willingness to work on their own business throughout the two days.

Programme objectives

  1. 01Explain how search engines and AI answer engines discover, evaluate and select content
  2. 02Audit their own site's SEO health and AI visibility
  3. 03Research keywords and question-based queries people actually use
  4. 04Create content optimised for both Google ranking and AI citation
  5. 05Apply technical fundamentals: structure, speed, crawlability, structured data
  6. 06Build local and authority signals that both engines rely on
  7. 07Measure rankings, traffic, AI citations and share-of-answer
  8. 08Produce a 90-day SEO and GEO action plan for their own business
