The Course, In Plain Words

SEO is splitting. This course teaches all of it.

Built for marketers who want to go deeper.

Most "SEO courses" stop at meta tags and keyword research. In 2026, that's barely 20% of what SEO is. The real work happens in schema markup, log file analysis, Core Web Vitals, international hreflang setups, link building outreach, and now a brand new layer — optimising for AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity.

This 2-month specialisation goes deep into all of it. Technical audits on real client sites. Schema markup hands-on. International SEO architecture. E-commerce SEO. The 25-day backlink sprint. And the new playbook for AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization).

Mon–Fri, daily 1.5-hour sessions. 18 modules across 5 phases. Every student gets to run a full audit on a real Search Extension client site as the capstone. You finish with audit reports worth showing to clients.

FAQs

How is this different from the main Digital Marketing course?

The Digital Marketing course is a 4-month generalist program — SEO is just one of its phases (covered at intermediate depth). This Advance SEO Course is a 2-month deep specialisation, going 3× deeper into every SEO topic. Schema, JavaScript SEO, hreflang, programmatic SEO, AEO/GEO — none of that is covered in the generalist course at this level. If you specifically want to be known as the SEO person, this is the right track.

Do I need prior SEO experience to join?

Some baseline helps — if you know what a meta description is and have done basic keyword research, you'll fit right in. If you're a complete beginner, I'd suggest joining the 4-month Digital Marketing course first (it has a strong SEO phase) and then coming back for the Advance SEO course later. That said, motivated beginners do join — the first week revisits foundations before going deep.

What is the course duration and class format?

The course runs for 2 months, Monday to Friday, with daily 1.5-hour sessions. Longer sessions than the other courses because we go deeper, including a lot of live tool walkthroughs (Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, Search Console, schema validators). Theory in the first hour, hands-on in the next 30 minutes. Available offline at GTB Nagar Delhi or online via Zoom.

What are the course fees, and is EMI available?

The fee ranges from ₹15,000 to ₹20,000 depending on the cohort. EMI is available — typically ₹7,500 upfront and the balance in 2 instalments over the next month. Talk to me directly for current pricing.

What tools will I learn to use?

Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog, Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4, PageSpeed Insights, Schema.org Validator, Rich Results Test, Surfer SEO, Frase, BrightLocal, Whitespark, Wayback Machine, and HARO. We'll cover free versions or trial accounts during the course. By the end, you'll know which tool to reach for in which situation.

Will I work on a real website during the course?

Yes. Every phase has a live deliverable on a real Search Extension client site (with their consent). Phase 1 ends with a fixed Core Web Vitals report. Phase 3 ends with a 25-day backlink sprint. Phase 5 capstone is a complete audit deck. You finish with three real-client deliverables in your portfolio.

What jobs / freelance opportunities open up after this?

SEO Specialist, Technical SEO Manager, SEO Lead, Senior SEO Executive, SEO Consultant — all higher-band roles than general digital marketing. On the freelance side, SEO retainers typically range ₹25K–₹1L/month per client. Audit projects can be one-time ₹15K–₹50K each. You learn to charge for outcomes, not hours.

Is AEO / GEO really important to learn now?

Yes — and most agencies haven't caught up. AI Overviews are already capturing 10–25% of search clicks for many queries. ChatGPT and Perplexity are growing as research-first tools. The SEOs who understand how to get cited in these answers are the ones charging premium fees in 2026. We dedicate a full module to it because it's where SEO is heading.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes — a course completion certificate, plus an internship certificate if you continue with Search Extension on live client SEO work after the course. Useful for resumes, LinkedIn, and freelance proposals.

What kind of support is available after the course?

Same as my other courses — direct WhatsApp access to me, indefinitely. SEO is a never-ending game; algorithm updates roll out monthly. Whenever Google or any AI platform changes something, my past students get my take in real time. That post-course access is one of the most-mentioned things in my Google reviews.

What is the course duration and class format?

2 months, Monday to Friday, daily 1.5-hour sessions. Available offline at GTB Nagar Delhi or online via Zoom.

What tools will I learn to use?

Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog, Search Console, GA4, Surfer SEO, Schema validators, BrightLocal, and more.

Will I work on a real website during the course?

Yes. Every phase has a live deliverable on a real Search Extension client site. You finish with three real-client deliverables.

Do I need prior SEO experience to join?

Some baseline helps. If you're a complete beginner, the 4-month Digital Marketing course first is a better starting point.

How is this different from the main Digital Marketing course?

The DM course is generalist. This is a 2-month deep SEO specialisation going 3× deeper into technical, on-page, off-page, and AI-search SEO.

What jobs / freelance opportunities open up after this?

SEO Specialist, Technical SEO Manager, SEO Lead, SEO Consultant. Freelance SEO retainers typically range ₹25K–₹1L/month per client.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes — course completion certificate plus internship certificate from Search Extension.

What support after the course?
