GEO,entity SEO,schema graph.

As an SEO & GEO expert I offer in-house workshops for your SEO team or your leadership: 1 to 3 days, on-site or remote, up to 12 participants. Three formats: hands-on for SEO teams (code, schema, Wikidata practice), CMO and marketing leadership (investment case, board arguments) or a hybrid. Modules: GEO, entity SEO, schema graph, LLM citation, Knowledge Panel and passage engineering, tailored to your assets and industry.

Per industry
01 - Formats

Three audiences. Three formats.

A

SEO team hands-on

2-3 days. Code examples, audits of your own content, schema implementation and Wikidata practice. Mostly hands-on.

B

CMO & leadership

1 day. Strategic orientation, investment case, board arguments, KPI framework and P&L attribution.

C

Hybrid

2 days. C-level strategy in the morning, team hands-on in the afternoon. Connects top-down and bottom-up.

02 - Content

Eight modules.

01

GEO foundations

How generative systems retrieve content, taught as the working model of the SUMAX methodology: embedding distance, reranking, chunk competition and hallucination modeling, including the limits of what is publicly documented.

02

Passage-level citability

Chunk engineering at 200-400 tokens (a SUMAX guideline), pairing claims with evidence, criteria for self-contained passages and hands-on rewrite exercises.

03

Entity SEO

Identifiability, consistency, corroboration. The anatomy of a Wikidata item, sameAs clusters and disambiguation.

04

Schema.org graph

JSON-LD, @id links, graph coherence, validation and deployment through CI.

05

LLM citation monitoring

Prompt matrix design, multi-model capture, KPI framework and drift alerts.

06

Knowledge Panel

Six trust layers, the 8-step framework, correction routes and notability analysis.

07

International & hreflang

Architecture decisions, the hreflang matrix, multilingual entity maintenance and country-specific GEO.

08

Governance & board reporting

KPI framework, attribution, stakeholder management and cross-team orchestration.

03 - Why in-house

What is an in-house SEO & GEO workshop?

An in-house SEO and GEO workshop is a one- to three-day training at your offices or online for SEO teams, content teams, CMOs and marketing leaders, with no more than 12 participants. It covers Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), entity SEO, the Schema.org graph, LLM citation monitoring, Knowledge Panels and passage-level citability. Unlike a conference talk or an online course, the team works on its own material: real URLs, its own structured data and its own entity profile, with examples from its industry. There are three formats: hands-on for SEO teams, a one-day strategy format for CMOs and marketing leaders, and a two-day hybrid. Each workshop ends with a 90-day roadmap, a KPI framework and implementation templates, so the team can apply the methods the next day. Preparation takes about two weeks and starts with a 30-minute scoping call.

Why now? Brands that want to be cited in AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot need GEO, entity SEO and schema graph skills in-house, not just classic SEO.

PROBLEM 01

The GEO knowledge gap

Most SEO teams have classic on-page and link building skills but no systematic method for passage engineering, schema graph coherence or entity work in Wikidata.

PROBLEM 02

No language for the C-suite

CMOs cannot defend GEO investment to the board while pipeline attribution, citation rate and Knowledge Graph KPIs stay untranslated into business terms.

PROBLEM 03

Cross-team friction

SEO, content, PR, legal and engineering work in silos. Without a shared GEO method, schema implementation, editorial workflows and tech releases stay uncoordinated.

PROBLEM 04

No way to measure success

Without citation monitoring, nobody can tell whether optimizations work. There is no KPI baseline for AI Overviews and LLM answers.

04 - Process

From briefing to follow-up coaching.

Every workshop follows a documented sequence from preparation to hand-over. The effort on your side stays manageable.

01

Scoping call (30 min)

Audience, format, industry, assets, KPI expectations, international scope and follow-up needs. Result: a concrete proposal comparing formats.

02

Preparation (2 weeks)

Asset review, URL selection, Search Console analysis, a competitor snapshot and a citation baseline check in AI search systems. Custom slides with examples from your industry.

03

The workshop (1-3 days)

Live sessions on-site or remote. Theory blocks (45 min) alternate with hands-on exercises on your own content (60-90 min). Everyone works actively; nobody just listens.

04

Hand-over & templates

Workshop material, code snippets, schema boilerplates, a KPI sheet, briefing templates and a 90-day roadmap.

05

Follow-up coaching (optional)

Three months of coaching with calls every two weeks, a Slack channel, template updates and implementation sparring.

● Workshop outcome

From knowledge
to implementation.

After the workshop your team has a 90-day roadmap, a KPI framework and concrete implementation templates. No theory without application.

Each action on the roadmap has a named owner.

05 - Learning goals

08 - FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Answers to the most common questions about the content, format, preparation and follow-up support of the in-house workshop.

What is the in-house SEO & GEO workshop?

A practical one- to three-day workshop, on-site or remote, for SEO teams, content teams and marketing leaders. It covers GEO, entity SEO, the schema graph, LLM citation, Knowledge Panels and passage citability, tailored to your industry and assets.

Who is the workshop designed for?

Three formats: hands-on upskilling for SEO teams, strategy for CMOs and marketing leaders, or a hybrid with the C-suite in the morning and the team in the afternoon. Maximum 12 participants.

What does the workshop cover in detail?

Day 1: retrieval mechanics as a SUMAX working model (including the limits of what is publicly documented), passage citability, schema graph, entity SEO. Day 2: auditing your own content, passage rewrites, schema implementation, Wikidata items. Day 3: governance, monitoring, KPIs, board reporting.

Does the workshop take place remotely or on-site?

Both. Remote: two 3-hour sessions plus 2 hours of hands-on coaching. On-site: full days, preferably in Germany, Austria or Switzerland, elsewhere by arrangement. In our experience, hands-on days work better on-site.

Is there follow-up support after the workshop?

Optionally, three months of coaching with calls every two weeks, a template library with code snippets and schema boilerplates, and a Slack channel. Most useful while the team implements its roadmap.

What preparation is expected from the team?

Two weeks ahead: 5-10 representative URLs, Search Console and analytics access, a competitor list and a short brief on current challenges. Hands-on workshops also need CMS access and a test repository for schema code.

How is this workshop different from conference talks?

You work on your own content instead of demo examples, go beyond single tactics into governance and KPI logic, and get sector specifics for YMYL, B2B SaaS, e-commerce or international setups.

Which KPIs are defined to measure success?

Citation rate in AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Copilot as the primary GEO KPI, an entity salience score and a passage citability score. Plus business KPIs (pipeline, brand search) and operational KPIs (time to publish, schema coverage).

Can several locations or international teams take part?

Yes. On-site sessions at a main location can be combined with remote participation from other markets and dedicated Q&A slots. The workshop runs in German or English, with recordings for later review.

How much does an in-house workshop cost?

It depends on format, preparation depth, industry complexity, group size and follow-up support. Fixed day rates plus 1-3 days of preparation are typical; travel is billed separately. You get a concrete proposal after the scoping call.

Can agency teams attend the workshop?

Yes, with a multi-client focus: a scalable audit method, templates for use across clients and a sales briefing on selling GEO. It suits mid-size to large agencies launching GEO as a service line.
