The Blueprint Training Review 2026: Ryan Stewart's Agency Membership at $199 a Month

Not an SEO course. An operating system for an SEO agency, with the founder on a call twice a week. Excellent at what it does; silent on AI search.

Verdict

The Blueprint Training is best suited to agency owners, consultants and freelancers who want to systematise delivery, pricing and reporting, and who will use the Agency OS software. It does not teach AI-search visibility and is a poor fit for affiliates or in-house SEOs.

It scores 33 out of 40, second in our table and our pick for agency operations. The points it loses are for no refund policy and no published SEO testing. Pair it with an AI-search product if that is the service you sell.

What is The Blueprint Training?

The Blueprint Training is a membership for SEO agencies run by Ryan Stewart, with David Krevitt co-hosting the live coaching. It has operated since 2015 and states it has trained more than 3,000 agencies. The current product is a monthly or yearly membership that bundles recorded training, the Agency OS software (CRM, project management, client reporting, billing, P&L), a suite of 128 templates and SOPs, six pre-built AI agents for Claude, live coaching twice a week and a private community.

How much does it cost?

$199 per month, shown on the homepage as a limited-time sale from $299, or $1,999 per year. Additional team seats are $59 per month each. The terms state that all products and subscriptions are final and non-refundable once access is granted, and that you must cancel at least 30 days before the next billing cycle to avoid being charged. Where a free trial is offered it converts to paid automatically unless cancelled.

What does it teach?

Agency operations: selling, onboarding, auditing, planning, delivering and reporting SEO work at scale, with the software and templates to run it. The recorded library is 42 videos across 8 modules; the first four modules alone are listed at 7 hours 54 minutes. The AI component is workflow automation (proposal, onboarding, audit, plan, reporting and content agents that run on your own Claude subscription), not AI-search tactics. There is no AI Overviews, LLM citation or GEO curriculum claimed anywhere on the official pages.

Who is it best for?

Agencies, consultants and freelancers, per the official pages, and specifically those working too hard for too little. If you run client SEO and your problem is process and margin rather than technique, this is the strongest product we reviewed. If your problem is that clients want AI-search results and you do not know how to deliver them, this will not solve it.

Who should not buy it

  • You want AI-search tactics. See the best AI SEO course page; for an agency selling AI search, the honest answer is Blueprint for operations and Rainmakers for the service itself.
  • You are an affiliate or in-house SEO. The material is about running an agency.
  • You want a refund window. There is none.
