# About AiSeoCourse Directory

Scored, review-backed comparison directory for AI SEO courses, with a published method and a dated price history for every program.

Dataset 2026-09-18.44a45f, 60 records (44 in English), observation cutoff 18 September 2026.

## Who publishes this

AiSeoCourse Directory is an editorial project of [ADE Marketing](https://ademarketing.my), a marketing company in Malaysia. The editor is Adam Yong ([LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamyong/)), a technical founder who has run SEO and software businesses since the early 2010s. Verdicts and hub copy carry the byline "Editorial team" because they are produced within a published method rather than as one person's opinion; the method itself is the editor's responsibility.

## Why it exists

Courses about AI search visibility multiplied through 2025 and 2026, with prices that move week to week, ratings scattered across Skool, Maven, Udemy and Coursera, and sales pages that rarely say who teaches, what the refund terms are, or how many people have joined. The existing directories either list without scoring or score without showing evidence. This site records every fact with its date and source, scores programs on a published rubric that measures public evidence rather than teaching quality, tracks every price it can date, and lists programs it cannot score fairly without a rank. The dataset is downloadable so anyone can check the work.

## How it is funded, and what is disclosed

-   **No paid placement.** No program has paid, or can pay, to be listed, ranked or featured. Rank order is score order on every page.
-   **Nothing was bought.** The editorial team has not purchased any of the 60 programs and has received no review access, free seat or other consideration from any provider. Scores rest on public evidence only; the [methodology](/methodology/)says how.
-   **One referral link.** The record and compare pages for one Skool community use a Skool referral URL, marked rel="sponsored nofollow" with a one-line disclosure next to the link. If a reader joins through it the directory may receive a commission. The link exists on those pages only; every other link to that program, including the comparison table and every hub, is the plain listing URL, and the score and rank do not depend on it. Any commission received is recorded in [updates](/updates/).
-   **One tool card.** The [tools section](/tools/)lists 13 tools used in AI SEO work. One of them, LocusPilot, is built by the editor's company. It is listed under the same template as the others, with the disclosure "Built by the editor of this site. It is listed because courses in this directory teach the setup it automates; it does not affect any score or ranking here." on its card and page. That card is the only place it appears on this domain.
-   **No other advertising, sponsorship or lead forms.**

## Method in one paragraph

Each program has one research file compiled from provider pages, platform listings, Wayback snapshots and independent discussion; an ingest script rejects any value without a URL and a date. A build script scores six dimensions (satisfaction, volume, recency, sentiment, transparency, completeness) with published weights, applies an evidence ladder so that missing ratings are never scored as zero, labels each program's confidence, and lists low-confidence programs without a rank. 21 of 44 English-language programs have a public course-level rating; 1 of 44 meet every transparency check (18 September 2026).

## Corrections and contact

Providers and learners can correct any value by sending a public URL that shows the right figure to [adam@ademarketing.my](mailto:adam@ademarketing.my). Corrections are applied at the next weekly refresh and logged with their date. Providers may embed the badge from their record page; it links back to the record and changes nothing about the score.
