Google's Search Central documentation, updated on 10 December 2025, says there are no additional requirements to appear in AI Overviews or AI Mode. That one sentence should shape how you judge any AI-based SEO course. This page explains what OneCity Academy teaches in its five-month programme, what it costs, where classes are held in Rajajinagar, and who should wait before enrolling. Fees and modules come from the OneCity Academy brochure and OneCity Academy courses page, checked in October 2026.
What GEO and AEO mean, and what stays the same
Answer engine optimisation (AEO) is the work of writing and structuring a page so it can be lifted as a direct answer: in a featured snippet, a voice reply or an AI summary. Generative engine optimisation (GEO) is the same job aimed at AI systems that compose an answer from several pages and cite a few of them. Both sit on top of ordinary SEO, because a page that cannot be crawled cannot be cited.
The table shows where each discipline starts and stops.
| Discipline | What it targets | Main work | How you check it |
|---|---|---|---|
| SEO | Ranked results in Google and Bing | Crawlability, keyword mapping, on-page work, internal links | Rankings, clicks and impressions in Search Console |
| AEO | Featured snippets, answer boxes, voice answers | Answer-first writing, question headings, lists and tables | Whether your page owns the snippet for the question |
| GEO | AI answers that cite their sources | Clear entities, sourced facts, structured data, pages worth citing | Whether your pages appear as cited sources for your target questions |
Here is the part most course pages skip. Google's own documentation on AI features says: “There are no additional requirements to appear in AI Overviews or AI Mode, nor other special optimizations necessary.” It adds that all existing SEO fundamentals continue to be worthwhile. That is in Google Search Central's AI features documentation, updated on 10 December 2025.
I read that as a warning label. A course that sells GEO as a separate bag of tricks is selling something Google says does not exist. The skill that survives a change of employer or a change of algorithm is the fundamentals, plus the habit of measuring what happened after you changed a page. That is why this course opens with crawling and indexing and reaches GEO only in its fourth module. At the demo class, ask which of the trainer's GEO advice is documented and which is experience. A good trainer separates the two without being asked.
What the two classroom months cover, and who teaches them
The classroom phase has six modules, taught in the order below as listed on the OneCity Academy courses page.
1. Technical SEO: how a site is crawled and indexed
Search engines find pages by following links, then decide which ones to keep in their index. This module covers how that process works and how to find and fix what holds a site back, such as pages that are blocked, duplicated or buried too deep. Every later module assumes you can read a site's technical health. For a view of what other institutes teach here, see how Bangalore SEO courses differ.
2. Keyword research: matching searches to pages
You learn to find the searches that matter for a business and map each one to a page. The test is simple: does the page answer the query better than what already ranks? Many sites fail it because three pages chase the same query and none of them wins.
3. On-page SEO: titles, structure and internal links
This module covers page structure, titles, content and internal links that match what the searcher wants. Internal links get attention because they decide how crawlers and visitors move through a site, and small business sites tend to waste them.
4. GEO and AEO: getting a page picked and cited
Here you study how AI engines decide which pages to cite and how to make a page easy to pick. Expect practice with answer-first writing, definition blocks and question headings, the same habits that win featured snippets. Keep Google's line in mind: these extend good SEO and do not replace it.
5. Structured data: telling machines what a page is
Schema markup tells search engines and AI engines what a page is about: an article, a course, a list of questions, a business address. Google's introduction to structured data explains how it uses markup to understand page content. In class you learn to write that markup for the pages you manage.
6. AI-search measurement: tracking and reporting
You track how often your pages show up in AI answers and in search results, then report what you find. Reporting matters as much as tracking. A client or a manager acts on a clear report and ignores a folder of screenshots.

How the five months run: two in class, three on client work
| Phase | When | Format | What you leave with |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classroom | Months 1 and 2 | Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 1 PM or 6 PM to 9 PM, in Rajajinagar | Six modules, from technical SEO to AI-search measurement |
| Internship | Months 3 to 5 | Work on live client accounts | Deliverables and a portfolio of real work |
| Completion | End of month 5 | Certificate on completion | Certificate, resume help, portfolio review, interview practice |
Three of the five months are an internship on live client accounts, so most of the programme is work on actual sites rather than slides. That ratio is the reason to look at this course instead of a short classroom-only one. SEO changes usually take weeks to show up in Search Console, and a three-month window is long enough to make a change, wait, and see what happened. A two-week project cannot teach that.
You finish with a portfolio and a certificate on completion. There is no job guarantee, and you should be wary of any institute that offers one. What you leave with is project work an employer can check. A placement claim from any institute, this one included, deserves the same scrutiny as reading a placement record carefully.

Whether ₹55,000 is fair depends on what you compare it with. Look at months of live-account work, who teaches, and whether the internship sits inside the fee.

AI-based SEO course or Digital Marketing Course: which fits you?
| Question | Digital Marketing Course | Advanced AI-Based SEO Course |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | 3 months of classes plus a 2-month internship | 2 months of classes plus a 3-month internship |
| Offer fee | ₹29,500, listed at ₹49,500 | ₹55,000, listed at ₹99,500 |
| Covers | Design, SEO, Google and Meta ads, social media, email, GA4 reporting | Technical SEO, keywords, on-page, GEO, AEO, structured data, AI-search measurement |
| Start here if | You have never run a campaign | You already manage or build websites |
| Skip it if | You only want SEO | You need ads, social and email too |
Three rules settle most cases.
- Never run a campaign? Start with the Digital Marketing Course, which treats SEO as one of five classroom modules next to ads, social, email and analytics.
- Already manage or build websites and want SEO to be the job? Take this course.
- Cannot attend weekday batches, or expect a certificate alone to get you hired? Wait.
A degree is the other route into marketing, and digital marketing versus an MBA compares the two. If you are changing fields mid-career, the career-switch guide covers what to expect. Paid-ads specialists should read Google Ads training options in Bangalore. Anyone who wants AI on the engineering side rather than the search side should look at AI and robotics engineering degrees instead. The guide to the Rajajinagar course lays out the sibling course's classroom plan week by week.
Questions people ask about the AI-based SEO course
What are GEO and AEO?
GEO (generative engine optimisation) and AEO (answer engine optimisation) are the work of making a page easy for answer boxes and AI engines to pick and cite. Both build on ordinary SEO, which is why this course starts with technical SEO and reaches GEO and AEO in its fourth module.
Is GEO a replacement for SEO?
No. Google's documentation says there are no additional requirements to appear in AI Overviews or AI Mode, and that existing SEO fundamentals continue to be worthwhile. GEO and AEO extend those fundamentals and do not replace them.
Do I need SEO experience before joining?
Basic comfort with websites helps. If you are starting from zero, the Digital Marketing Course is the better first step, and this course is the next one.
What does the course cost, and can I pay in instalments?
The offer fee is ₹55,000, listed at ₹99,500, as shown on the OneCity Academy courses page. GST and instalment options are confirmed on WhatsApp before you enrol.
Is the internship included in the fee?
The fee is published for the full programme: 2 months of classes plus the 3-month internship. Confirm the exact fee terms on WhatsApp before you pay anything.
When and where are the classes held?
Classroom batches run Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 1 PM or 6 PM to 9 PM, at OneCity Academy, 2nd Floor, 1st Cross Rd, near Mahakavi Kuvempu Metro, 2nd Stage, Rajajinagar, Bengaluru 560010.
Is there a job guarantee?
No. Outcomes depend on individual effort, and no job or income is promised. OneCity Academy gives resume help, portfolio review and interview practice.
Can I learn SEO on my own instead of taking a course?
Yes, for the concepts. Google's SEO Starter Guide is free and worth reading before any course. What a course adds is feedback on real work and client sites to practise on, and that only matters if you will use it.
Before you pay: one test to run at the demo class
Take a website you manage to the free demo class and ask the trainer to find three problems on it. Then ask which of the three Google documents and which come from experience. A trainer who answers that live, on your site, is worth the fee. One who answers with a list of tool names is not.
Fees, batch dates and availability can change. Confirm them with OneCity Academy before you pay.
