Master SEO with AI

This two-hour AI Skills Bootcamp demystifies SEO and teaches how AI can be used to optimise a website for AI-powered search, boost Google rankings and attract customers!

Attending this workshop was exactly what I needed to quickly bring me up to speed on how AI integration can generate business growth. The workshop provided me with a clear framework to help start identifying high-impact use cases. I now understand the huge potential for AI to assist in all areas of our operations, streamlining processes and boosting profitability.

The workshop really opened my eyes to how AI can help me in my marketing role. As a marketing graduate from 2022, my degree did not contain any AI education so it has been useful getting up to speed on the developments. I came away with ideas of how to implement it into my role immediately, so I am looking forward to using them.

I can’t recommend the The AI Advantage Academy's Bootcamp highly enough. As an independent business owner who wants to understand AI and take advantage of the opportunities it presents for my business, this course was perfectly pitched. Emma is knowledgeable, approachable and passionate about AI, providing lots of examples of how the technology can be successfully applied to your day to day business.

I have just completed the AI Bootcamp with the AI Advantage Academy and it has blown my mind (in a good way). As a comms consultant, I have been dabbling with some of the mainstream Generative AI tools but, after the session today, I realise I am just scratching the surface. Emma has opened a Pandora’s box of AI possibilities which I am excited to explore more. She has also provided context that will help me understand not only what tools are available but also where they plug into the wider AI landscape and how they will turbo boost my business.

As a Contract Product Manager with experience managing machine learning and Intelligent Process Automation products, I can confidently say this was an excellent session.

“The AI Advantage course with Emma was a game-changer for my career. It opened my eyes to cutting-edge AI concepts and showed me how to incorporate these practically into my job to improve outcomes. It helped me to understand how to leverage AI tools for marketing strategies, content creation and data-driven decision making and Emma was fantastic at supporting this information with real-world examples. I feel much more confident in applying AI to enhance my work - I went from being fearful that AI would eliminate my job to feeling excited about how to incorporate it to optimise the services I already deliver. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to stay ahead of the curve!”
