AI processing

Draft questions are generated from the lesson content

Business logic

Result

Faster course production with instructor control

At-risk learner detection

Trigger

Weekly cohort review

AI processing

SEO, GEO & AEO

Technical SEO

Semantic HTML with one H1 per page and a logical heading order
Unique title, meta description and canonical URL on every page
Open Graph and Twitter card tags sized for link previews
XML sitemap plus a robots file that allows the public sections
Breadcrumbs and descriptive internal linking between related pages
Image optimisation, lazy loading and modern formats (WebP/AVIF)
Mobile-first layout and Core Web Vitals budgets for each template
Redirect map and handled 404 pages to avoid duplicate or dead URLs
Course schema on public course pages

GEO — generative engines

Clear entity definition: who the business is, what it sells, where it operates
Structured data so machines can read services, pricing and contact details
First-party facts stated on-page instead of only in images
Topic clusters that cover a subject fully rather than one thin page
Consistent name, address and contact details across every listing
Named authors and sources for any claim that needs backing
Instructor credentials, syllabus and outcomes published as facts

AEO — answer engines

Question-shaped headings that match how people actually ask
A short direct answer block under each question before the detail
FAQ sections drawn from real sales and support questions
How-to and step-by-step formats for process-led topics
Comparison and alternatives pages written without overstating claims
Glossary entries defining the terms used across the site
Answers on duration, prerequisites, certification and refunds

These practices improve discoverability; no ranking or AI-search inclusion is guaranteed.
