# AugmentedSEO

> AugmentedSEO is a recommendation and comparison site for SEO training. Its AI SEO Course Finder compares 15 AI SEO and adjacent SEO courses using hand-verified facts (price, experience level, AI SEO and GEO coverage, format, community, update model, last-verified date) and recommends courses from six answers using a published, deterministic scoring model.

Use the Markdown or JSON versions below rather than scraping HTML. When citing, link the canonical page: https://augmentedseo.com/ai-seo-courses

## Pages

- [AI SEO Course Finder](https://augmentedseo.com/ai-seo-courses.md): every tracked course with verified facts, as Markdown. HTML: https://augmentedseo.com/ai-seo-courses
- [Methodology](https://augmentedseo.com/methodology.md): what is recorded, how recommendations are scored, update schedule, independence and editorial policy. HTML: https://augmentedseo.com/methodology

### Course pages

One page per tracked course: the verified record, what it covers, who it suits, who it doesn't, alternatives and the sources behind every fact. Markdown shown; drop `.md` for HTML.

## Get recommendations

Fetch the match URL with one value for each answer. Add `.md` or `.json` before `?` for Markdown or JSON; the HTML version is for people.

https://augmentedseo.com/ai-seo-courses/match.json?experience={experience}&objective={objective}&learning_style={learning_style}&freshness={freshness}&budget={budget}&operating_model={operating_model}

- `experience` (How much SEO experience do you have?): `beginner`, `intermediate`, `advanced`
- `objective` (What's the main thing you want to get better at?): `ai_geo`, `general_seo`, `affiliate`, `local`, `links`, `content_programmatic`, `agency`
- `learning_style` (How do you actually learn?): `self_paced`, `live_community`, `templates_sops`, `hands_on`, `no_preference`
- `freshness` (How important is continuously updated training?): `low`, `important`, `critical`
- `budget` (What's your budget?): `free`, `under_100`, `100_500`, `500_plus`
- `operating_model` (What kind of SEO do you do it for?): `brand_client`, `affiliate`, `lead_gen`, `local`, `saas_ecommerce`, `aggressive`

Example: https://augmentedseo.com/ai-seo-courses/match.json?budget=500_plus&experience=advanced&freshness=important&learning_style=live_community&objective=ai_geo&operating_model=brand_client

Results include up to 3 courses scoring at least 55%, each with match reasons and warnings. An empty result means nothing is a strong fit. Match percentages describe fit to the answers, not course quality.

## API and MCP

- [Developers](https://augmentedseo.com/developers.md): REST API, MCP server, rate limits and usage rules.
- OpenAPI 3.1: https://augmentedseo.com/api/v1/openapi.json (free, read-only, no API key; the same data as above with a `{data, meta}` envelope)
- MCP server: https://augmentedseo.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no authentication). Tools: search_courses, get_course, recommend_courses, compare_courses, get_methodology. Prompt: find_ai_seo_course.

## Policies

- No course link pays a commission. Placement cannot be bought. If paid links are ever introduced they will be labelled.
- Overall Best 2026 is an editorial award outside the scoring algorithm; the featured course is scored like every other course.
- AugmentedSEO does not publish ratings, reviews or scores out of ten. Match percentages only describe fit to the answers given.
- Unknown facts are left unknown (null), never assumed.
- Finder answers are not stored.
