# AI SEO course scoring methodology | AiSeoCourse Directory > Rubric v1: six weighted dimensions, the evidence ladder and why low-confidence programs are listed, not ranked. Checked September 2026. URL: https://aiseocourse.directory/methodology/ Methodology · rubric v1 · locked 17 September 2026 # AI SEO course scoring methodology The score measures public evidence about a program (what is published, what learners say, how current it is), not teaching quality. This page publishes the weights, the rules that move weight when evidence is missing, the confidence label, the inclusion rules, and what was looked for and not found for every program. Dataset 2026-09-18.44a45f, observation cutoff 18 September 2026, 60 records (44 English-language). The same weights and rules are in [scores.json](/data/scores.json)next to every sub-score. **No paid placement.** No program has paid, or can pay, to be listed, ranked or featured. Rank order is score order on every page. No program has been given a free seat, a review copy or any other consideration to be listed; the editorial team has bought none of the programs, and says so here so the reader can weigh the evidence-only method accordingly. ## The composite: six dimensions, rubric v1 Composite is 0 to 100. Each dimension scores 0 to 1 from public evidence, is multiplied by its weight, and the weighted sum is scaled to 100. Weights were locked on 17 September 2026 and are not tuned to reach an expected order. | Dimension | Weight | Evidence and formula | | --- | --- | --- | | Satisfaction | 22% | Course-level platform rating, shrunk toward that platform's mean with a Bayesian prior of 10 reviews. A shrunk rating of 3.5 scores 0 and 5.0 scores 100. Platforms with fewer than two rated programs use the dataset mean as the prior. Provider-level ratings (Trustpilot for the company, instructor profile scores) never count. | | Volume | 13% | Log-scaled review count (saturates at 100) and member or enrolment count (saturates at 3000), averaged over whichever of the two is published. Provider-level student totals are not counted. | | Recency | 15% | Months between the observation cutoff and the latest dated evidence (content update, launch, cohort date, price change, review, independent discussion), decaying linearly to 0 over 12 months. | | Sentiment | 20% | Praise-versus-complaint balance over independent public discussion and attributed review excerpts, labelled by a derived-themes pass (claude-haiku-4-5): each item gets a stance (positive 1, mixed and neutral 0.5, negative 0) and themes from a fixed vocabulary; the score is the mean stance. Provider-authored posts and syndicated copies are excluded. No review text is stored. | | Transparency | 20% | Seven binary checks: price on the provider's own site, refund policy published, instructor named with a public track record, curriculum published, module or lesson count published, member or enrolment count published, testimonials or reviews dated. Score is checks met out of 7 for a paid program and out of 6 for a free one, where the refund check does not apply (decision 11). | | Completeness | 10% | Share of the 67 tracked attributes that are confirmed (a value with url and date, or an explicit no) rather than unverified. | The refund-policy check does not apply to free programs, so their transparency score is checks met out of 6, not 7 (decision 11, 19 September 2026). Audit scores published by one reviewer (for example Charles Floate's course scores) are rendered as third-party assessments with source and date and are never an input to the composite (decision 8). ### Satisfaction priors per platform A course-level rating is shrunk toward the mean of its own platform, never a global mean, so a Udemy 4.7 and a Skool 4.9 are read against different baselines. Priors in this build (computed over every rated program in the dataset, 18 September 2026): | Platform | Mean rating | Rated programs | Checked | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Maven | 4.6 | 1 | 18 Sep 2026 | | Skool | 4.983 | 6 | 18 Sep 2026 | | Udemy | 4.7 | 3 | 18 Sep 2026 | | Coursera | 3.99 | 5 | 18 Sep 2026 | | Trustpilot | 4.85 | 2 | 18 Sep 2026 | | Feefo | 5 | 1 | 18 Sep 2026 | | OpenLearn Create | 4.7 | 1 | 18 Sep 2026 | | provider's academy | 5 | 1 | 18 Sep 2026 | | official product page | 5 | 1 | 18 Sep 2026 | | FreeAcademy | 4.8 | 1 | 18 Sep 2026 | | provider's own site | 4.503 | 3 | 18 Sep 2026 | | 121WATT | 4.9 | 1 | 18 Sep 2026 | | M2i | 4.6 | 1 | 18 Sep 2026 | | Formaseo | 4.4 | 1 | 18 Sep 2026 | Skool's platform mean is 4.98 over 6 rated programs, so every Skool community scores near the top on satisfaction and volume carries the comparison between them; accepted as is (decision 9b, 19 September 2026). ## The evidence ladder (missing-evidence rule) Most programs have no star rating. Satisfaction is scored on a four-tier ladder, recomputed from the data at ingest and never trusted from the research file. A missing rating is never scored as 0, ratings are never blended across platforms, and no rating is ever invented. "No public rating (checked on date)" is rendered as a fact. | Tier | Definition and effect | English programs | Checked | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | A | Platform rating with n >= 10. Satisfaction at full weight. | 10 of 44 | 18 Sep 2026 | | B | Rating with n < 10, count unverified, or a third-party review site. Same formula; the prior pulls it hard toward the platform mean. | 11 of 44 | 18 Sep 2026 | | C | No course rating but 3 or more independent discussion URLs. Satisfaction weight is redistributed pro-rata to sentiment and transparency. | 8 of 44 | 18 Sep 2026 | | D | No rating and fewer than 3 independent discussion URLs. Satisfaction and sentiment are marked "no public evidence" and their weight is redistributed pro-rata to volume, recency, transparency and completeness. | 15 of 44 | 18 Sep 2026 | ## Confidence label, and why low-confidence programs are listed, not ranked High Tier A and at least 75% of attributes confirmed (2 of 44 English programs, 18 Sep 2026) Medium everything between (18 of 44) Low Tier C or D, or under 60% of attributes confirmed. A low-confidence program is listed, not ranked: on every hub it sits in the "Insufficient public evidence" block below the ranked list, without a rank number and outside the ItemList schema (decision 11). It keeps its row, composite and confidence label in the homepage and /courses/ tables. (24 of 44) **Listed, not ranked (decided 19 September 2026).** Low-confidence programs are listed, not ranked. On every hub a program whose confidence label is "low" (evidence Tier C or D, or under 60% of attributes confirmed) appears in a separate "Insufficient public evidence" block below the ranked list, with its facts, its composite for reference and a link to its record, but no rank number. The ranked list and its ItemList schema contain medium and high confidence programs only. The homepage and /courses/ tables show every program with its confidence label. The earlier free-hub subset rule (transparency, completeness, volume) was tried on 19 September 2026, ranked a program with no public evidence at #3, and was reverted the same day. /free-ai-seo-course/ ranks by the same composite as every other hub. ## Hubs, relevance and rank order Each program has a 0 to 1 relevance per hub from its curriculum grid, format and audience evidence; only programs at or above the floor are listed on that hub. The floor is 0.6. Every hub ranks by the same composite (Ranked by the full composite (all six dimensions, evidence ladder applied). Ties break on name. Programs with low confidence are listed below the ranked list without a rank number (decision 11).). Rank order is score order on every page; nothing is featured. **Language scoping (decided 19 September 2026).** English programs only (languages contains "en") in the homepage table, every English keyword hub and every finding denominator. Non-English programs keep full records and the language filter on /courses/, and are ranked within one hub, /ai-seo-courses-in-other-languages/, grouped by language and ranked within language (decision 10). Ranks are assigned within a scope: one ranking for English programs, one per other language. The satisfaction prior (platformMeans) is computed over every rated program in the dataset regardless of language; the mean\_rating\_\* findings are English-only. ## Data labels, dates and what "unverified" means Every value on a record carries one of four labels and the date it was seen: _provider-stated_ (read on the provider's own page), _observed_ (read on a platform listing or a third-party page), _calculated_ (derived by the build, for example the normalised monthly cost), or _unverified_ (looked for and not found on a public page by the check date). Unverified is never scored as zero and never filled in by inference. Prices are shown in the currency published, with a USD conversion at the ECB reference rate on the date noted. Ratings are shown with their platform, review count and date, and are never blended across platforms. Excerpts from reviews are at most 25 words with the reviewer's name and date, are shown on the record only, and are not in the downloadable data. ## Inclusion rules and how a record is built - A program is included when it teaches AI search visibility as a named part of its curriculum (GEO, AEO, LLM citations, AI Overviews or a close equivalent) and has a public page that could be read on the check date. Marketing pages with no curriculum are excluded. - Each record starts from one per-program research run that re-opens every URL it cites before output and stamps the date seen. An ingest script then rejects any value without a URL and a date, any curriculum quote over 15 words, any review excerpt over 25 words, and any competitor domain; rejected values become unverified. Files that fail the shape check are excluded from the site until fixed. The review log for this build was generated 19 September 2026. - Non-English programs are kept with full records and ranked within their language hub (decision 10). Programs whose access window has ended stay in the dataset with status "closed" and their dates on the calendar. - Provider text is paraphrased or cited, never reproduced. Derived sentiment themes come from a labelling pass over independent public discussion; provider-authored posts and syndicated copies are excluded and no review text is stored. - Refresh: paid programs are re-checked weekly (Skool listings and prices move), free programs on a longer cycle; every change lands in [updates](/updates/)and the RSS feed with its date. Corrections with a public URL are accepted at [adam@ademarketing.my](mailto:adam@ademarketing.my)and logged. ## The seven transparency checks Seven binary checks: price on the provider's own site, refund policy published, instructor named with a public track record, curriculum published, module or lesson count published, member or enrolment count published, testimonials or reviews dated. Score is checks met out of 7 for a paid program and out of 6 for a free one, where the refund check does not apply (decision 11). In this build 1 of 44 English programs meet every applicable check; the mean is 4.4 of 7 for paid programs and 4.1 of 6 for free ones (18 September 2026). ## What was checked and not found, per program Publishing the absence is part of the method: a buyer should know that a refund policy or an instructor name was looked for on the provider's page and was not there. 861 attribute groups across 60 programs were checked and not found, as recorded in the ingest review for this dataset. Each line names the attribute and where it was looked for.

It does not measure teaching quality, outcomes, or value for money, none of which are publicly observable in a consistent way across 60 programs. The rubric has known trade-offs: transparency and completeness overlap for well-documented programs, and the ladder changes the effective weights per program when evidence is missing. These were considered and kept for v1; each record shows the effective weights it was scored with. Every statistic on this page, with denominators: [AI SEO course findings](/findings/).
