Syllabus

  • Using Generative AI for SEO
    • In this module, you will conduct a hands-on sprint that integrates generative AI into the traditional SEO workflow. You'll begin by learning how AI supports keyword discovery and content improvement: move from seed topics to clustered keyword lists, translate those clusters into briefs, and use AI to tighten headlines, coverage, readability, and internal links. Then, you'll ship on-page essentials that win clicks and rich results: write high-performing meta titles and descriptions (including multilingual variants), then generate and quality-check JSON-LD schema for Article/FAQ/HowTo/Product. Short videos lay the "why," labs give you repeatable prompt patterns, and quizzes lock in guardrails, so speed never sacrifices accuracy or brand voice.
  • Final Project, Final Quiz, and Course Wrap-Up
    • In this final module, you will apply your learning by crafting an SEO-friendly blog for a researched keyword and performing on-page optimization. A graded quiz will help assess your overall mastery of the course concepts. The module also includes a course glossary to reinforce key terminology and concludes with a wrap-up that summarizes the key takeaways and guides you on applying your learning in your career.
