Google’s recent I/O 2025 event revealed a central pivot: AI-first and AI-everywhere. That means every Google tool and service will now be powered by AI and integrated into organic and paid search marketing. Not only is Google moving to AI, but users are also moving to AI at an astonishing rate, creating unprecedented drops in traffic to content websites that are not optimized for AI.
This marks a shift in how we must optimize our web experiences for the future of search. We’re moving beyond “websites with text and images” to AI-driven multimodal experiences, where text, images, video, and audio converge.
This course isn’t about using AI to do SEO. It’s about doing SEO that works for AI. Learn how to optimize your site to appear not only in Google Search but also in tools like Google’s AI Overviews (AIO), ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Meta, and Perplexity. Understand what datasets power these AIs and how to get your brand included.
You’ll still learn how to use some traditional SEO techniques to good effect—like indexability and backlinks—but many old practices no longer apply. New strategies include:
- Writing in a conversational tone for AI interpretation.
- Creating multimodal content.
- Using markdown, schema, and multi-format sitemaps (text, images, video, audio).
- Preparing for agent-based interactions, where software agents will access and interact with your site autonomously.
This course prepares your organization for the AI-first and agent-driven future of search.
In This New DMAnc Course, You Will Learn:
- What’s happening? Understand how AI is transforming search engines and marketing.
- Prompt Crafting for AI: Learn how to create effective prompts that set AI roles, tasks, and contexts for generating audience-specific content.
- How to do SEO for AI: Learn how to write AI-optimized web pages and ensure discoverability by AI systems.
- Google Analytics 4.0 for AI: Set up GA4 to track which AI platforms drive traffic and engagement.
Flexibility to Fit Your Schedule:

Module 1: SEO for AI
This module starts with the basics. We’ll explore how Google and AI systems determine which pages to display in search results. You’ll learn how AIs use Google’s E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) guidelines to select pages and how to write prompts that help AI accurately represent your brand.

Module 2: Optimizing Keywords, Multimodal Content, and Speed Using AI
This module focuses on writing conversational text, optimizing multimodal content, and improving page speed. You’ll also learn how to create content that the AIs easily understand. Traditional SEO isn’t entirely gone. AI tools are very good at writing (or rewriting) your TITLE and DESCRIPTION tags.

You’ll see examples of schema, markdown, and XML, why these matter, and how to use your AI to add this to your pages. From tags and redirects to schema and markdown, you’ll get hands-on strategies that support search visibility in Google and AI engines.
You’ll learn:
- How to use Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools for AI.
- How to configure robots.txt, canonical tags, and llms.txt.
- How to create XML sitemaps for all content types.

You’ll learn:
- How to earn high-authority links and citations.
- What it means that AI is non-deterministic—and why it matters.
- How to optimize your presence on Google Business, Bing Places, and more.
- How to track AI-driven traffic in GA4.
