Verdict
From SEO to AEO: Optimizing for AI-led Search sits at rank 8 of 45 with a composite of 82.2, medium confidence, evidence tier B. The rating is 5 of 5 on Feefo, but from only 4 reviews, so satisfaction rests on a thin base. Jellyfish Training publishes the price, the refund terms, a named instructor in Chris Hutty and a 7-section agenda, which is why transparency scores high. It is 1 day of live teaching at $549 per person before tax. Good for working SEOs who want AEO and GEO covered in one sitting. Skip it if you need fundamentals or ongoing support.
Who it fits
- Agency SEOs who want AEO and GEO covered in one day
- In-house SEOs with a training budget and a fixed date
- Teams who prefer live instruction over self-paced video
Who should skip it
- Beginners who still need traditional SEO fundamentals
- Anyone wanting a community or repeat live calls
- Buyers who need an accredited certificate

How much does From SEO to AEO cost?
The US page lists $549 per person before tax for the live-online session, a one-off payment that normalises to $45.75 per month. The UK listing shows a sterling price before VAT. Private session pricing is quoted on request. Price trend since June: none. Checked 18 September 2026.
Does it have a refund policy?
Yes, and it is published rather than inferred. The stated terms: 7-day cancellation without liability when services have not commenced and are not due to commence in that period. There is no published installment plan. Read the cancellation window against the session date before you book, because the terms hinge on when services start. Checked 18 September 2026.
Who teaches it?
Chris Hutty, named on the public course page as Course SME and Training Director, SEO at Jellyfish Training. Instructor access is direct, since this is live instructor-led delivery rather than recorded video. His public SEO output is short: one published AI search test and no prior course products.
What does the course cover?
7 sections on the published agenda: AEO and GEO foundations, changing search behaviour, measurement, how LLMs retrieve content, content structure, technical considerations and external citation. It also touches brand mentions and AI workflows. Traditional SEO fundamentals and local AI SEO are not covered. Checked 18 September 2026.
Is it worth the price?
On public evidence, it holds rank 8 of 45 mainly on transparency and recency, not review volume. The next listed public session is 2026-12-17. You get 1 day, a certificate of attendance with no named accrediting body, and one-off live contact. No community is included.
