According to the SEO+GEO/AEO survey, most of the mediums-sized and enterprise businesses are planning to increase their SEO / AI visibility budgets.

But does your in-house SEO team knowns exactly how to us that budget?

Why do in-house teams need SEO + GEO/AEO training?

Since 2024, the SEO industry has been noisier than ever. There are too many self-proclaimed “GEO experts”, too many correlation AEO studies, too many dangerous GEO “hacks”, too many agencies trying to sell their ineffective services.

It is incredibly hard to keep up and make informed SEO and GEO decisions, so in-house SEO teams will definitely appreciate help with understanding what is really changing in SEO and where to better spend their SEO budgets.
