SEO training, GEO coachingI am Ann Smarty, an SEO expert for 20+ years, in which I built career in just about any SEO field, including SEO consulting, SEO community building, SEO writer and editor, and SEO training and coaching.

For about 3 years now, I have also been creating successful AEO/GEO strategies for businesses in diverse niches.

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 known 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.

What's the value of SEO training?

Having a productive, well-educated in-house SEO team means investing in your own asset and internal know-how.

In the long term, the value of in-house SEO training is defined by:

  • No need to invest in external SEO consulting
  • Focusing on tactics that yield meaningful results, without being distracted by the industry clutter
  • Long-term visibility focus that doesn’t result in reputation issues

I will teach your team to organize well-prioritized, effective workflows.

Prioritizing SEO / GEO / AEO tactics has been a major pain point business owners and executives face after being presented with an SEO audit.

That’s why I specialize in creating actionable SEO roadmaps, aiming at prioritizing tactics, and setting up the step-by-step workflow.

I will build an SEO roadmap for your brand

SEO training provides clear value by cutting through conflicting advice, building foundational digital marketing skills, and improving long-term organic traffic and return on investment (ROI).

Ann Smarty will teach your team to focus on what moves the needle, cut through the GEO/AEO noise, and find reliable and knowledgeable contractors.
