What you will learn
The course gives you a practical AEO starting point
This is not a list of disconnected tips. It is a sequence that helps you understand what AI engines trust, where your own gaps are, and what to fix first.
Publish generic content and hope it ranks.
Jump to prompts and tools too early.
Treat SEO and AEO as separate workstreams.
Course curriculum
Five parts that move from theory to action
The material in the uploaded lesson is strongest when it is taught as a progression. Each part prepares the next one, so the learner can assess their current position and decide what to do now.
Part 1: Understanding EEAT
Why AI engines trust some sources and ignore others.
You learn how experience, expertise, authority, and trustworthiness shape visibility in both search and answer engines.
- Experience from real work
- Expertise tied to credible authors
- Authority beyond your own site
Part 2: SEO and AEO together
How one credibility standard supports two channels.
You see where SEO and AEO overlap, where AEO raises the bar, and how to build one content system that supports both goals.
- Why SEO still matters
- How AEO changes the end goal
- Why direct answers matter
Part 3: The AEO hierarchy of needs
A practical order for doing the work.
You map your current situation against five layers: crawlability, content quality, answer-focused structure, authority, and optimization.
- Technical foundation
- Content quality
- Answer-focused structure

Why learn this with SalesComm
AEO is not just content work. It is growth infrastructure.

- Built for B2B teams that need practical AEO guidance, not generic content advice
- Grounded in HubSpot, AI visibility, and how credibility is built across the web
- Aligned with SalesComm’s approach: fix the foundation first, then optimize for growth
