Where customers find businesses now
A customer looking for a plumber, a bakery, or a bookkeeper might see your business in four places. Most small businesses only show up when someone types their exact name.
Google results
The classic list of websites
The map pack
Three businesses with stars and a Call button
AI Overviews
The AI summary at the top of Google
AI assistants
“Who’s the best ___ near me?” in ChatGPT
All four mostly reward the same things: being clear about what you do, being consistent everywhere you’re listed, having real reviews, and answering the questions customers actually ask. This course shows you how to do all of it with AI.
How it works
- Download and unzip the course folder.
- Open your AI assistant and give it the folder, or upload the files.
- Say “start the course.” The AI teaches you one step at a time, and you do real work on real files.

Questions
Is this AI SEO course really free?
Yes. The full course is a free download: 8 lessons, 3 scenarios, and a prompt pack. You need an AI assistant to take it. The free tiers of ChatGPT or Claude work.
Do I need a website?
No. Many small businesses get most of their customers from their Google Business Profile, and the course is built for that. If you have no website, Lesson 6 shows the simplest free way to get one page live.
Which AI tools does it work with?
ChatGPT, Claude (including Claude Cowork), Manus, and any AI assistant that can read files. Tools that can open a folder are smoothest. In regular chat apps, you upload files as the lessons ask for them.
How long does it take?
About 2–3 hours across 8 lessons. You can stop and pick up where you left off.
Can AI really do SEO for a small business?
AI does the heavy lifting: reading your reviews, sorting keywords, drafting your profile, pages, and review replies. You supply the real details only you know and approve what goes live. That combination is what works, and it’s what the course teaches.
Will this get my business recommended by ChatGPT?
Nobody can guarantee what AI assistants say. The course teaches what tends to get businesses mentioned: clear facts about what you do, consistent listings, detailed reviews, and mentions on other trusted sites.
Do I need marketing or technical experience?
No. Every term is explained in plain English, and the AI walks you through each step. If you can have a conversation, you can take this course.
