Curriculum / 02
Six modules of SEO. Nothing else.
Where the broader trainer program covers SEO as one of six channels, this is six modules of SEO alone. Deeper technical work, more audit time, more time on schema.
-
01
How search works in 2026
Indexing, the modern ranking stack, AI Overviews, Search Generative Experience, and what the SERP looks like after AIO. Day one resets the mental model before tactics start.
-
02
Technical SEO
Crawl budgets, render paths, Core Web Vitals, log file analysis, internationalisation, hreflang, JS rendering, and the bug list every Mumbai eCommerce site ships with. Hands-on with real domains.
-
03
On-page & schema
Title and meta hygiene, content structure, internal linking that compounds, schema.org for Person, LocalBusiness, FAQ, Article, Breadcrumb, Service. Schema is how you survive AI Overviews — this module is half the workshop.
-
04
Topical authority & content
Entity-based SEO, pillar and cluster, content briefs that pass Helpful Content updates, programmatic SEO, and the AI-content guardrails Google actually enforces.
-
05
Local SEO for Mumbai
Google Business Profile optimisation, NAP consistency, local citations, review velocity, hyperlocal pages that do not get flagged as doorways. The exact playbook running on this site.
-
06
Links, audits & reporting
Digital PR over outreach, broken-link reclamation, audit frameworks (Screaming Frog + Sitebulb + manual), GSC reporting that the CMO actually reads. Capstone is a full audit of a brief you bring.

Who it is for / 03
Four kinds of practitioner.
In-house marketers
Mumbai marketers who own organic at a brand and need to defend traffic through the AI Overviews transition without hiring a full SEO agency.
Freelance SEOs
Independent practitioners who want to move from on-page commodity work into senior-rate strategy and audit engagements. Move up the stack.
Agency teams
Junior and mid-level SEOs at Mumbai agencies — Andheri, BKC, Lower Parel — who need to ship audits and recommendations a senior would sign off without rework.
Founders
Founders of D2C and B2B brands in Mumbai who do not want to outsource SEO but need the playbook to brief whoever they hire.
Formats / 04
Pick the shape.
-
01
Two-day workshop
Intensive weekend in Mumbai. Twelve to twenty seats. Bring your domain — half of day two is audits on participant sites with live recommendations.
-
02
Six-week cohort
Live Tuesday and Thursday evenings, plus a Saturday studio session. Real audit submitted weekly, marked against a published rubric. The most engaged format.
-
03
In-house team
Six-week customised cohort delivered at your Mumbai office. Curriculum built against your actual tech stack — Shopify, WordPress, Webflow, custom — not a generic syllabus.
-
04
One-on-one
Twelve-week individual training for senior practitioners. Less curriculum, more sparring. Two 1:1 sessions a month plus weekly async review of your audits and reports.
Outcomes / 05
What past cohorts shipped.
The audit you submit at the end is what matters. Three examples from recent Mumbai cohorts — anonymised at request, real numbers.
— D2C jewellery brand · Mumbai
Organic sessions +148% after six-week cohort audit
Participant ran the capstone audit on their employer’s site. Findings: missing schema, broken hreflang, internal link decay. Quarter following implementation: 1.5× organic, two product categories into local pack for "buyer + Mumbai" queries.
— Andheri SaaS startup
Featured in AI Overviews for four of seven priority queries
Workshop participant restructured the content library against the topical authority module. Within twelve weeks of publishing the new pillar pages, four target queries were citing the brand inside AIO answers — three of those were previously page-two organic.
— BKC agency · in-house cohort
Audit pipeline tripled, senior-rate engagements doubled
Six-person SEO team trained in-house. Pre-training: agency could ship three audits per quarter and lost two to a competitor. Post-training: nine audits per quarter, audit-led engagements at 2× the previous retainer rate.
FAQ / 06
SEO trainer questions, answered.
- Why hire an SEO trainer in Mumbai when free YouTube content exists? +
- YouTube teaches tactics. It does not teach prioritisation, internal review, or the audit posture a senior practitioner brings to a fifty-thousand-URL site. A live workshop with a Mumbai trainer compresses that judgment work into weeks, and you leave with a reviewer who can tell you whether your next decision is right.
- Is SEO still worth learning after AI Overviews? +
- More worth learning, not less. AI Overviews pull from a smaller set of trusted, structured sources — schema markup, topical clusters, and entity-based content matter more than they did three years ago. The trainer modules on schema and topical authority are built specifically around the post-AIO SERP. The recent blog post on this site walks through the model.
- What stack and tools do you teach? +
- Screaming Frog and Sitebulb for technical, Ahrefs and Semrush for off-page (whichever your team already pays for), Google Search Console as the source of truth, GA4 for measurement, and Schema.org validators. AI tooling for research, briefs, and gap analysis. No vendor pitch — tools change, the audit posture does not.
- How is this different from the broader digital marketing training? +
- The digital marketing trainer program covers SEO as one of six modules across paid, content, analytics, and AI. This SEO trainer program is six modules of SEO. Deeper, more technical, more audit time. If your team only needs SEO — pick this one. If they need the whole stack — pick the broader program.
- Can you audit our Mumbai eCommerce site as part of the training? +
- Yes. The six-week cohort and in-house formats include a capstone audit of one site per participant team. Workshop format includes a thirty-minute live audit slot — useful for diagnosis, not a substitute for a full engagement.
- What does it cost? +
- Workshops, cohorts, in-house team training, and one-on-one programs are all quoted after a discovery call. Format, duration, and group size determine the fee. All engagements are fixed-price with no hourly billing.
- Will I get a certificate? +
- Yes, but the audit you submit at the end is what hiring managers actually look at. Most cohort participants leave with a public audit on their LinkedIn or portfolio site — that is the artifact worth showing. For context: the trainer behind this program is government-certified under Skill India (MESC/NSDC, NSQF Level 6) — so the accreditation chain is real.
