Run Your Small Business on AI — The Course

12 modules + 2 appendices covering the full AI marketing operations build — website, SEO, AI search visibility, content, automation, and the API layer — with downloads, quizzes, and (in the cohort tier) a live Q&A call with Ryan after you graduate.

Why this exists

The middle path between DIY and full hand-off.

Some owners want to learn this themselves — properly, with structure and accountability — rather than piecing it together from blog posts and forum threads.

That's what the course is for: our full AI marketing operations curriculum, structured as modules with downloadable templates, quick reference checklists, and (in the cohort tier) a one-time live Q&A call with Ryan after you graduate.

Right now (launch pricing): all 14 modules are text + downloadable templates. Video walkthroughs are being recorded and will be added to existing modules over the coming weeks at no additional cost to enrolled students.
