Agency training

AI SEO Course Training for Agencies

Communities, cohorts and team training for agencies delivering AI search work to clients.

Short answer
  • Agencies need training that keeps up with client work: current tactics, live answers and a way to train new hires.
  • The operator end of the market is paid communities with live calls. None of the 7 communities here issue a credential.
  • Refund terms vary a lot, from 7 days to all sales final. Read them before you add seats.
  • Pair one community for current tactics with a free exam-based certification for each new hire.

How agencies train on AI search

Most agencies we see use two layers. New hires take free, exam-based certifications to learn the vocabulary, which also gives account managers something to show clients. Senior staff join a community or cohort where practitioners share what is working on real sites this month.

Questions to ask a community before joining

  • Who runs the live calls, and are they recorded?
  • What is the refund window, and what voids it?
  • Can you add team seats, or does each person join separately?
  • Does the public page show AI citation and measurement work, or only general SEO?
