AdSense readiness for educational course and lesson websites

Course websites should make the subject, instructor, learning outcomes, and access requirements clear. Public lesson previews should deliver useful context, not just an empty paywall. Verify instructor credentials and do not promise employment, certification, or test outcomes unless supported. Organize lessons so visitors can find prerequisites and understand the sequence.

Google’s AdSense readiness guidance asks publishers to provide relevant unique content and a good experience; Google’s approval guidance discusses navigation and restricted-access concerns. These sources do not establish a required course length or lesson count.

Example: A course page says “Get certified in one day” but the credential is only a completion badge. Correct the claim and explain exactly what the student receives. Test the signup and lesson paths while logged out.

Use SiteReadyScore to inspect public course pages and support content. It cannot evaluate all lessons behind a login or verify credentials, so include manual review and honest scope notes.
