The “AEO and GEO Specialist” certificate

It shows that you can measure whether AI engines cite a site, find out why they don't, and build a plan to change that. It certifies a skill, not the use of a product.

The rules

  • Name: "AEO and GEO Specialist".
  • What it certifies: your skills, not a product.
  • Issued by: CiteProof.
  • What it shows: your name, the date and a verification link.
  • Valid for: 12 months. AI keeps changing: you renew the certificate with the update module.
  • How to get it: pass the exam, meaning the 30 questions (at least 24 correct) and the hands-on project.
  • Cost: none. To request it, you register on citeproof.co for free and submit the project from the exam page.

How to get it, step by step

  1. 1Follow the lessons and take the module quizzes: they help you prepare, but they're not required.
  2. 2Pass the 30 exam questions, with at least 24 right answers.
  3. 3Prepare the hands-on project on your own site, or on a client's site with their written permission.
  4. 4Sign in to citeproof.co (registration is free) and send your request from the exam page, with the link to your project.
