AI SEO: Rank Expand Academy

Verdict

By Editorial team. Opinion within the published method; every figure is from the record below.

AI SEO: Rank Expand Academy carries the strongest evidence type in this dataset: a tier A rating of 5 out of 5 from 31 reviews, alongside 693 members on Skool, checked 18 September 2026. That gives it rank 4 of 44 and a composite of 86.4. Confidence stays medium because the public page counts 221+ lessons without publishing a module list, so most curriculum flags remain unverified. It fits beginners and small agency operators who want weekly live calls and direct access to Jesse Cunningham. Skip it if you want a certificate, or a syllabus you can read before paying $99 a month.

Score breakdown

Composite 86.4 of 100, rubric v1, evidence tier A, medium confidence (46 of 67 attributes confirmed, checked 18 Sep 2026). The score measures public evidence about a program (what is published, what learners say, how current it is), not teaching quality.
