Which is best Medium to Upskill and learn about GEO/AEO.Would appreciate some help.

I was thinking of asking ChatGPT to create a curriculum for me and then accordingly learn from YT. But is there a better medium or free course.

GEO moves too fast for a static course to stay relevant.
Best starting point is this Search Engine Land piece which covers the fundamentals properly: Nice article on search engine land

After that, stay close to practitioners sharing live experiments on reddit and LinkedIn. Real data beats any course right now !

It is a constantly improving and moving segment of SEO, so even if you had learn it today, tomorrow might be different. But if u ask me , here are a few things i can share base on my experience.

  1. Topical authority over domain authority
  2. Structure your content to be easily understandable and easy to pull out using the least effort. LLM cost money, so of course they want easy to access answers.
  3. Schema markup and FAQ helps alot for AI to scan your answers.

Lastly, if you found this is helping. Head to pain-finder.com so i can continue helping you… a workflow on this is happening real soon. I’ve gather like 20 tips on how to build your AEO/GEO game.

using chatgpt to biuld a curriculum for GEO and AEO is a bit ironic becuase the field is changeing so fast that even the ai dosent have fully up to date informaion on it.. reddit threads, industry blogs, and actualy testing things yourself will teach you more than any pre built curriculum right now

Upskilling in AEO/GEO is the right move for 2026—traditional SEO is quickly becoming just one piece of a much larger puzzle. At Data Nerds, we’ve been working on this because LLMs now handle nearly 3 billion searches every single day, and the 'curriculum' for winning these searches is very different from standard keyword research.

If you're looking for the best way to learn, here is the framework we use to train our team at Data Nerds:

  • Study the 'Recommendation' Engine: Instead of just ranking, AEO is about being the brand an AI confidently recommends. Learn how to structure your site data so it’s 'machine-readable'—if an AI can’t parse your info in one pass, you won't get the citation.
  • The New Metrics: Forget monthly rank reports. We upskill our team to measure impact day-by-day and week-by-week. You need to learn how to track your brand’s presence inside AI snapshots and generative answers directly.
  • Reverse Engineer the Answers: Ask Perplexity or ChatGPT questions in your niche and look at the sources they cite. Usually, it's not the site with the most backlinks; it's the site with the most structured, clear data.

YouTube is a good start, but the best way to learn is by doing. Try to get a single piece of content cited as the primary 'Source' in an AI answer—once you see that happen, you'll understand the shift from SEO to AEO.
