This is not for everyone.

[ JOIN ]

Join if

  • You want to finish with work you can show an employer or client, not a certificate to file away.
  • You will do the implementation between sessions, not just attend them.
  • You want the technical depth: rendering, site architecture, structured data, and measurement.
  • You are fine having your work critiqued in front of a 25-person cohort.
  • You can make the live sessions, or will genuinely watch the recordings.
[ SKIP ]

Don't join if

  • You want a pre-recorded course to skim at double speed. This one is live and applied.
  • You need a guaranteed job or internship at the end. The internship is competitive.
  • You are after quick ranking tricks, or a formula that guarantees AI citations. Neither exists.
  • You cannot protect time outside the live sessions to work on your site.
  • You want a broad digital marketing overview. This is specialist SEO and AI search only.
// the_shift

SEO in 2026 is not the SEO you trained on.

Search is no longer one box. The same question now gets answered in Google results, AI Overviews, AI Mode, chat assistants, video, and community threads, and a growing share of those answers resolve without a click. Checklist SEO was built for a world where ranking and being seen were the same thing.

The durable advantage is not a secret AI trick. It is the ordinary foundation done properly: crawlable, indexable pages, original work worth citing, demonstrable expertise, structured data that matches what a reader actually sees, and measurement that shows where your brand turns up. This bootcamp teaches all of it hands-on, on a real website.

// your_live_project

  • A structured-data and semantic HTML implementation that matches the page.
[ PROOF ]

What you can show

  • An AI visibility baseline you know how to re-measure yourself.
  • A reporting dashboard connecting organic visibility to business outcomes.
  • A written case study of your strategy, execution, and results.

Questions, answered

What is the SEO Fighter Bootcamp?+
An intensive, hands-on program that trains marketers and SEOs for the AI-driven search era, with practical skills you apply immediately rather than theory.
Who is the bootcamp for?+
Four groups, and the curriculum is built to serve all four: career switchers and early-career SEOs who need the foundations, in-house marketers who need to turn organic into a fundable strategy, working practitioners who want to get past checklist SEO into technical scale and AI visibility, and founders building an organic growth system for their own business. It is a poor fit if you want a passive pre-recorded course, or cannot spend time applying each module to a real website.
Do I need prior SEO experience?+
Foundational digital-marketing familiarity helps, but the curriculum runs from fundamentals through AI search, so motivated beginners can keep up. The advanced modules, JavaScript SEO, enterprise architecture, and international SEO, are taught from the ground up rather than assuming you have shipped them before.
How is this different from the free Fighter Bootcamp course?+
fighterbootcamp.com is our free, self-paced library for learning the method on your own time. The paid Bootcamp is the live cohort version, where Ridho teaches every session, critiques your real site, and you get two private mentoring hours, a 25-person cohort for accountability, a year of StoryMint, and a paid-internship pathway for top fighters. The free course is the textbook. The Bootcamp is the dojo.
Does it cover AI Search, GEO, and AEO?+
Heavily. There are dedicated modules on Generative Engine Optimization (getting cited in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity) and Answer Engine Optimization (winning AI Overviews, snippets, and voice), plus AI Search threads running through Topic Ownership, technical, and measurement.
When does the next cohort run?+
The next cohort starts 3 November 2026 and registration is open now, limited to 25 seats. Early bird pricing of IDR 4,000,000 runs until 15 October 2026, then IDR 6,000,000. Register on this page to secure your spot before it fills.
Do I need my own website or domain to join?+
No. We hand you a live domain and website on day one, so you have a real property to work on from the first module rather than a sandbox. Every module, from the technical baseline through structured data, content, and AI visibility measurement, gets applied to that site, and it becomes the portfolio case study you graduate with.
How do I pay, and what happens after I register?+
Registration takes about three minutes. Payment is by bank transfer to our OCBC NISP account, and the transfer details appear on screen the moment you register and are emailed to you as well. Your seat is confirmed once we receive the transfer. Questions before you pay: email [email protected] or WhatsApp +62 818 301 984.
Can I pay in installments?+
Yes. You can split the fee into 2 equal payments at the same total, with no surcharge: 50% when you register to secure your seat, and the remaining 50% before the cohort starts on 3 November 2026. Choose your plan on the registration form.
Is the paid internship guaranteed?+
No. It is a competitive opportunity, not guaranteed placement. Top performers are considered for a paid remote internship at Search Agency based on attendance, the quality of what they implement on their project, collaboration through the cohort, and which roles are actually open at the time.
Is there a discount if an alumni referred me?+
Yes. If a Search Agency alumni referred you, you get IDR 500,000 off when you pay in full, and your alumni earns IDR 250,000 once they confirm you to our WhatsApp. Add their name on the registration form and mention it when you send your payment proof.
