The Challenge
Our customer is a provider of online tutoring services for UK state exams. We have been given the following tasks:
- Increase the number of targeted users from organic search to the site
- Boost the website’s visibility in the top 10 Google results
- Improving website usability to increase conversions
Execution / Optimization Process
- Conducted a thorough research of the major niche and competitors websites that rank in Google’s top 10 results for the main keyword phrases.
- Conducted a full technical SEO audit. There were some technical errors that required immediate fixing. Such mistakes include pages 404, which are present in the file sitemap.xml, closed from the Google bot styles and fonts, which resulted in the site incorrectly seen by the Google bot and errors in the Google search console, etc.
- We manually gathered the site’s semantic core for all the main pages of the site based on information received through a niche and competitor research. In the process of gathering semantics, further opportunities in the form of landing pages were uncovered (e.g., GCSE preparation in Literature, Math, etc.).

Summary / Conclusion Takeaways
A thorough competitor research was conducted, taking into consideration the site semantic core of the website that was gathered, and created an understandable SEO structure for each component of the website. The structure of the website was enlarged via the addition of new landing pages. Additionally, a website audit was used to fix small and not very technical errors. The necessary components for this niche were included, which the competitors lacked. As a result, we received twice as much organic traffic as we had before the promotion began.
