About the Project

  • Industry: Education
  • CMS: WordPress
  • Promotion Region: USA
A company specializing in ear training for musicians has approached Netrocket for their expertise in WordPress SEO services. In addition to their unique ear training program, the client recognizes the importance of online presence and wishes to promote their author’s methodology, which has no analogues in the world. This innovative approach can benefit both beginners and experienced performers, including musicians, conductors, singers, arrangers, and dancers.

The Challenge

In July 2022, they approached Netrocket for help. They offered a unique approach to ear training that was different from the popular methods used in the industry. However, only a few potential customers knew about the company.

Netrocket’s top priority was to increase its website’s visibility in Google search engine results. This was important to ensure that more musicians could learn about them. We realized that it was crucial to focus not only on national SEO but also on location-specific services.

Therefore, we offer promotion for the US, including specific areas like SEO services for Charlotte, NC, where there is a high demand for such training. This allows us to target relevant local audiences effectively.
