The Course - AI Search Mastery

Learn how to get your nonprofit cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews

Why does AI search matter for mission-driven organizations?

People are already asking AI tools where to donate, volunteer, join, and learn. AI answers them directly. If your organization is not a trusted, clearly understood source, you will not appear in those moments.

AI-driven search is already shaping how people discover causes and decide where to engage.

This course shows you how to clarify your content so AI systems can accurately understand, surface, and cite your mission.
