You will explore tactical methods to get your content cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity. The curriculum guides you through building topical authority, implementing schema markup, conducting AI search audits, and understanding retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Across the lessons, you will learn to measure share of voice in AI platforms, leverage long-tail keywords, and structure authentic content that LLMs trust as primary sources.

It serves beginners who want a foundational understanding of semantic search and entity optimization, as well as experienced professionals seeking to audit and pivot their existing SEO efforts toward generative engines. If your role requires driving traffic from platforms like ChatGPT or Perplexity, or if you need to ensure your brand maintains visibility as search behavior shifts to AI assistants, the strategies and frameworks covered will provide an actionable path forward.

How to study this sequence
