The GEO course

Learn how to make your website GEO-friendly

A practical, written guide to helping AI search engines crawl, understand and trust your website. Pair it with Vale, our AI assistant, to get tailored code and step-by-step fixes as you learn. Or use Vale on its own with a monthly subscription.

// Curriculum

Eight modules. Zero filler.

01

Understanding GEO and the future of AI search

The internet is changing. People are moving away from traditional Google searches and towards AI 'answer engines'. By the end of this module, you'll understand the basic rules of GEO and why being AI-ready is now essential for small businesses.

02

How AI engines understand websites

Move beyond keywords and understand how AI thinks. Learn how AI looks for meaning, relationships between ideas, and proof you're a trusted expert.

03

GEO-friendly website foundations

Build a solid technical base. Organise your pages and links so AI crawlers can move through your site without getting lost.

04

Creating content AI engines actually quote

Learn how to write content that AI retrieval systems want to pick up and share. Phrase your expertise so AI engines view you as the best source to quote.

05

Understanding E-E-A-T and why AI engines care

Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness are central to AI visibility. Position yourself as a trustworthy entity AI feels confident recommending.

06

GEO audits and AI visibility testing

Measure, test, and improve your visibility inside AI engines. Identify weaknesses, analyse competitors, and create practical optimisation roadmaps.

07

Building AI visibility outside your website

Learn how AI engines evaluate information across the wider internet – social platforms, review ecosystems, and community discussions – and how to strengthen your digital entity beyond your own website.

08

Future-proofing your business for AI search

Prepare your business for the future of AI-driven discovery. Learn how AI search is evolving and how to adapt your GEO strategy as user behaviour and retrieval systems continue changing.

// Course FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is this course beginner-friendly?

Yes. We assume basic web literacy but no SEO background.

What format is the course in?

Written modules you can read at your own pace, plus templates and checklists. An optional AI voiceover for accessibility is on the roadmap.

How long is the course?

Plan for 18–22 hours total – focused reading across eight modules and 37 lessons, plus exercises, homework, and the final quiz.

Do I get updates?

If you paid upfront, you get lifetime access to the course and certificate, and any updates to the course that come as AI progresses. If you pay monthly, you get monthly newsletters with updates and tips, as long as your subscription runs.

Can I cancel my monthly subscription?

Yes, anytime from your account. Your access stays active until the end of the current billing period and you won't be charged again. There's no minimum term and no cancellation fee.

Refund policy (lifetime plan)?

Under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, you have 14 days from purchase to request a refund of the lifetime plan. If you haven't accessed the course, you get a 100% refund. If you've started it, we may deduct a proportional amount for the lessons and materials you've already used. If you've completed the course within 14 days, the statutory right no longer applies. Full details in our terms.

What about refunds on the monthly subscriptions?

Both monthly plans – £17.99/mo for course + Vale, and £7.99/mo for Vale-only – are digital services with instant access. At checkout you tick a box confirming you want to start straight away, which means the standard 14-day cooling-off period doesn't apply once you've used the service. You can still cancel at any time – your access continues until the end of the current billing period and no further payments are taken.

Refunds on pay-as-you-go trend credits?

Trend credit top-ups (£4.50 for 20 searches) are supplied instantly to your account, so the 14-day cooling-off period doesn't apply – same rules as a Vale subscription. Unused credits don't expire.
