SEO Agent OS™ Course
You've spent 20 years learning how search works. Now learn how to run it with AI agents — without starting over.
The complete video training for senior search marketers who are done watching the AI era happen to them and ready to build the system that makes their experience the deciding factor.
60-day money-back guarantee. Immediate access. Self-paced.
Let's name what's actually happening.
Your organic traffic is down. Not catastrophically — but enough to notice, enough to explain on every quarterly call, and enough to make the pipeline forecast feel less certain than it did 18 months ago.
At the same time, you're watching people with a fraction of your experience ship content faster, produce briefs faster, and — in some cases — get results faster. Not because they're better at search. Because they built a workflow and you haven't rebuilt yours yet.
The irony is brutal: the more experience you have, the higher your quality bar, and the harder it is to accept that "fast but shallow" is sometimes winning on metrics that clients actually measure. You know the depth is missing. The dashboard doesn't show that.
The answer isn't to lower your standard. It's to build a system that produces at junior velocity without sacrificing the strategic layer that makes your work actually durable. That's what this course teaches.
Here's what 90 days from now looks like.
You have a research agent that surfaces high-value query opportunities before you spend a single hour on competitive analysis. It runs while you're in client calls. It flags what's worth your attention and discards the rest.
Your content agents are producing first drafts — properly briefed, properly structured, with E-E-A-T signals built in — at a rate that makes your old content calendar look like it was built for a different industry. Your review time drops by 60%. Your output triples.
You have a distribution workflow that pushes content across seven search surfaces — Google, YouTube, Perplexity, ChatGPT Search, Google AI Overviews, podcasts, directories — without seven separate processes.
This is not a hypothetical outcome. It's the operating state of practitioners who have built the SEO Agent OS™ and run it for 90 days. The course walks you through every step of the build — layer by layer, in sequence, with the exact tools and protocols that produce these results.
The SEO Agent OS™ — Built layer by layer, in sequence.
Four layers. Eight modules. Each one builds on the last. By the end, you're running a search operation that scales without scaling headcount.
Research Agents
Intelligence systems that surface real opportunities — query clusters, competitive gaps, AI Overview triggers — before you invest a single hour in production. Your read on search intent guides what the agents look for.
Content Agents
Production at scale with E-E-A-T built in. Properly briefed, properly structured first drafts that pass your quality bar and earn generative engine trust. Your editorial standard, automated.
Distribution Agents
One content piece, seven search surfaces. GEO, YouTube, podcast, directory, social signal, ChatGPT Search, AI Overview targeting — run as a single coordinated workflow, not seven separate channels.
Optimization Agents
Continuous monitoring and iteration. Tracks rankings, CTR, AI Overview appearances. Surfaces only the decisions that require your judgment — not your attention 24 hours a day.
8 modules. Everything you need to build and run the full system.
The New Search Stack — Why This Changes Everything
Map the landscape before you build on it. Understand why GEO, AIO, and Search Everywhere are structural shifts, not trends — and why your 20 years of search experience is the unfair advantage most practitioners are missing.
- The five search surfaces that matter right now (and two you can ignore)
- How AI Overviews select their sources — and what that means for your strategy
- Why veteran search experience outperforms prompt engineering at the strategic layer
- The Search Everywhere Optimization framework your clients actually need
SEO Agent OS™ Architecture — The Blueprint
The complete four-layer architecture — how the layers interact, how they compound, and the exact build sequence that gets you operational in 30 days without creating a dependency chain that blocks your progress.
- The four-layer orchestration model and why sequencing matters
- Stack selection principles — what to use, what to avoid, why tool bloat kills most builds
- The 30/60/90-day milestone framework for working practitioners
- How to integrate the OS into an existing client practice without disruption
Research Agents — Intelligence at Scale
Build the intelligence layer that surfaces real search opportunities before you produce anything. Query cluster analysis, competitive gap identification, and AI Overview trigger mapping — running in the background while you work.
- Setting up your research agent stack (specific tools, live demo)
- Query cluster analysis workflow — from seed terms to opportunity map
- AI Overview trigger identification protocol (47-workflow system)
- Competitive gap analysis — where your clients can win in 90 days
- Automating the weekly intelligence brief so it runs without you
Content Agents — E-E-A-T at Scale
The complete content production system — briefing, production, and review workflows that generate first drafts passing your quality bar and earning generative engine trust. Volume without sacrificing depth.
- The content brief architecture that tells agents what you actually need
- Author signal and E-E-A-T signal injection in AI-produced content
- The information gain test — how to produce content that genuinely adds to the conversation
- Review and quality control workflow: from 3-hour reviews to 30-minute checks
- Scaling to 10x content output without a bigger team
Distribution Agents — Search Everywhere, Systematically
The distribution workflow that makes one piece of content work across seven search surfaces. Not seven separate processes — one coordinated workflow with agents handling the adaptation and publishing.
- The 7-surface distribution sequence (step-by-step, screen captured)
- YouTube optimization for AI search ingestion
- Podcast and audio distribution for search surface coverage
- Directory and citation workflow for local and entity signals
- Social signal architecture — what moves rankings vs. what doesn't
Optimization Agents — The Continuous Loop
Set up the monitoring and testing workflow that runs continuously — tracking rankings, CTR, and AI Overview appearances — and surfaces only the decisions that require your judgment, not your constant attention.
- Rank tracking + CTR monitoring setup for multi-surface search
- AI Overview appearance monitoring (Google, Perplexity, ChatGPT)
- The weekly optimization trigger: what to act on, what to let run
- A/B testing content for AI engine ingestion vs. traditional ranking
Building Your Stack — Tools, Agents, Costs
Specific tool recommendations, agent configuration walkthroughs, and the exact cost breakdown for running the full SEO Agent OS™. No vague "it depends" — real numbers for a real working practice.
- The minimum viable stack (under $200/month total)
- The full production stack (under $600/month, scales to 8 clients)
- Agent configuration walkthroughs for each layer (screen captured)
- Prompt library access — the starting prompts for every workflow
Your First 90 Days — The Implementation Roadmap
The week-by-week implementation path for a working search practitioner with existing client commitments. Realistic timelines, clear milestones, and what to do when the agents produce something that doesn't look right.
- Days 1–30: Research and Content layers operational
- Days 31–60: Distribution layer live, first cross-surface results
- Days 61–90: Optimization loop running, first compounding signals
- Common implementation mistakes and how to avoid them
- How to present the OS to clients — what to say, what not to say
Ilya Gusev
Founder, Rise in Rank
I built this system for my own practice first. The course is the build guide I wish I'd had.
I've been in search for over 20 years. [ILYA: expand with specific career background — agency years, client types, notable campaigns. 2–3 sentences.] The SEO Agent OS™ is the system I built out of necessity when my own practice needed to adapt to the AI search era without replacing the expertise I'd spent two decades developing.
Every module in this course is drawn from what I actually do — not from what I read, not from a test client, not from a workshop exercise. The 47 workflow protocols are the protocols I run. The tool stack recommendations are what I pay for each month. The 90-day roadmap is the path I took.
I teach this because I kept having the same conversation with senior practitioners who were quietly panicking and publicly pretending they had it handled. You don't need to panic. You need a system. This is it.
Full story on the About page →What you'll be able to do when you finish the course.

60-Day No-Questions Guarantee
Complete Module 01 through Module 04 within 60 days. If you've followed the implementation steps and haven't seen measurable improvement in your research and content production workflow, email me directly at Ilya@riseinrank.com. I'll refund every dollar — no forms, no waiting, no explanations required.
The guarantee exists because I know the system works when it's implemented. If it doesn't work for you after following the steps, I want to know why — and I want to make it right.
Before you enroll.
Fully self-paced with immediate access. You own it — there's no cohort start date, no expiry, and no "watch it in 30 days or lose access." The 90-day implementation roadmap gives you a suggested pace, but you run it on your schedule.
The book is the framework and the reasoning. The course is the build — screen-captured, step-by-step implementation walkthroughs of setting up every layer. Most practitioners read the book first to understand the system, then use the course to build it. If you haven't read the book, the first module covers the essentials.
Module 07 covers the complete stack with actual monthly costs. The minimum viable stack runs under $200/month. The full production stack (scales to 8 clients) runs under $600/month. Most students find they're already paying for several of the tools — they just aren't using them as a coordinated system.
Lifetime access includes all future module updates. When the tooling landscape shifts — and it will — the course gets updated to reflect the current best practice. The orchestration principles are stable; the specific tool implementation gets updated as needed.
Yes. If you want to enroll a team of 3+ practitioners, email Ilya@riseinrank.com with "Team Enrollment" in the subject. I'll send you team pricing within 24 hours.

P.S. The practitioners who are going to lead the next decade of search are building their AI agent systems right now — not waiting to see if the transition "sticks." It has already stuck. The question is whether you're building the system that uses your experience as the strategic layer, or watching someone else build it first.
The 60-day guarantee removes the risk. The only thing you're deciding is whether to start building your system this week or next month. Start today →
