In this day and age, a website with no traffic is slowly akin to a brick-and-mortar shop without customers strolling in—the shop simply doesn’t do any business. It is not only important, but critical for a business, and especially in the education sector, to have strong organic traffic. One such success story comes from our collaboration with The Princeton Review Singapore, where strategic SEO efforts led to an astonishing surge in website visits, engagement, and lead conversions.
The Challenge
The Princeton Review Singapore is a reputed brand offering test preparation services such as SAT, ACT, and IB coaching. Regardless of the brand’s legacy, their website was not benefiting from a sufficient amount of organic traffic from Google and other search engines. They had:
- Keyword rankings that were non-existent with a baseline brand performance
- Sparse and underperforming blog coverage
- Weak domain authority
- Subpar page load speed on both mobile and desktop
- Absence of structured on-page SEO and organized metadata
The primary focus became improving visibility for these highly competitive keywords: “SAT classes in Singapore,” “ACT coaching Singapore,” and “IB tutors Singapore,” all while trying to avoid heavy expenditure on paid advertisements.
The SEO Framework That Elevated Our Business
The amazing team of marketers at Growth Hub Media India created an SEO plan which included content marketing, technical optimization, and analytics. Here is the strategy we devised:
1. Value Proposition Creation Through Comprehensive Keyword Research
Starting off, we analyzed the market for high traffic yet less competitive keywords related to the services offered by the client. While employing Google Keyword Planner and SEMrush, we created a list of primary keywords like (SAT prep Singapore) and their long-tail counterparts such as (best SAT prep classes in Singapore).
2. On-Page SEO Optimization
The overall structure of the website and some of the existing pages were optimized by:
- Inclusion of titles, header tags, meta descriptions, and title tags.
- Image compression as well as the naming of pictures using ALT text for images SEO.
- Establishing internal linking.
- URL optimization by making them short and rich in keywords.
3. Creating Value Driven Content
We included a blog section with informative and relevant posts such as:
- “Top 5 Tips to Crush the SAT on the First Try”
- “ACT vs SAT: Which One Should You Take?”
- “The Global Impact of IB Coaching on Students’ Academic Performance”
Strategically, these blogs were crafted to be engaging while incorporating keywords directed at students and parents residing in Singapore.
4. Technical SEO Updates
We enhanced the site’s performance by:
- Increasing page speed to load within 2.5 seconds
- Making the site mobile friendly
- Submitting sitemaps to Google Search Console
- Resolving broken links and crawl issues
5. Local SEO and Google My Business
To drive traffic from specific locations, we optimized their Google My Business profile, implemented local schema, and actively worked to drive positive reviews to build trust.
6. Backlink Building
Our strategy included acquiring quality backlinks from educational blogs, directories, and guest posts. These authoritative links greatly improved their domain authority and keyword rankings.
The Results: 6x Organic Traffic Growth
In just three months, The Princeton Review Singapore achieved the following:
- 600% increase in organic traffic
- Improved average session duration by 35%
- Keywords such as “SAT classes Singapore” achieved top 3 positions
- 300 leads on average through organic channels
- Lowered bounce rate due to user engagement and mobile UX optimization
All of these results were achieved without paid advertising. The results stemmed from the company’s investment in organic, ethical SEO.
Primary Insights: Implementing Strategies To Increase Organic Traffic
Below are notable takeaways you can implement in your business or website:
✅ A High-Intent Keyword Targeting Strategy
Don’t focus on broader terms where your audience has little to no intent to convert. Instead, combine both short-tail and long-tail keywords to maximize best results.
✅ Not focusing on Technical SEO will hurt you
An unoptimized webpage from a speed or mobile perspective will alienate lots of visitors. Services like GTmetrix and PageSpeed Insights are invaluable resources.
✅ Publishing Optimized Blogs Consistently Matters
Publishing optimized blogs that solve a real problem consistently will drive traffic to your site. We recommend targeting 800-1500 word blogs that solve real problems.
✅ Social Links & Hierarchical Structures
Using a strong internal linking strategy will help search engines better crawl your site while assisting your users to navigate through your content.
✅ Don’t forget to track data and act accordingly
Use Google Analytics for website traffic tracking, and Search Console or SEMRush for rankings. Adjust strategies based on improved user interaction.
