Our SEO Strategy for Kitab
Initial Understanding/Target Audience Profiling/Research
Starting out this was a one pager site while we were in competition with tutoring companies who have been into existence for over a decade and have extensive websites! So, we started first with gathering greater insights into our client’s target audience, which was parents of 8th and 9th graders based in New York.
Competitor Analysis and planning our SEO Game Plan
We then moved to analysing our competitors, their web pages and the kind of content they were posting
Since there was primarily one exam that our client focused on which is SHSAT, it was important for us to understand this exam in greater details and its significance to the target audience.
We knew looking at our competition that just doing 1 webpage on SHSAT prep/tutoring won’t get results
Further, we also realised that we would have to generate a lot of informative content to create visibility amongst the target audience and win their trust as us being the subject matter expert in this field.
Continued Hard Work, Research, Top-Notch Technical SEO/On-Page SEO/Off-Page SEO
This is where our journey began of digging deeper into the domain, understanding the queries the target audience are seeking answers for.
We did extensive blog topic research and keyword research
Created long form valuable content related to the 8 schools, about SHSAT exam, how to prepare, sample paper, comparative blogs, expert tips and much more
We kept our technical SEO and on-page SEO top-notch with a lot of precision
Along with the above we kept creating high quality backlinks for both our webpage and blogs
This further helped us in increasing the website credibility.
Result
Real hard work and genuine SEO strategies are always rewarded by Google. Lo and behold, we secured top rankings on almost all the 8 schools names, their acceptance rates, SHSAT exam related queries on Google apart from transactional terms like SHSAT tutor and prep.
A happy client and a satisfised AIM team are the best end results ever!
