Overview: Fitness Education Online

WORK DONE: SEO

The Goal

SEO Services Australia’s goal for this client is to increase organic traffic by 20-30% by the 6th month of their SEO campaign. Additionally, the agency wanted to help the client get quality leads and conversions.

The Opportunities

SEO Services aimed to increase traffic and open up more opportunities to convert by creating a campaign that focused on learning the client’s customer’s online behaviour and improving their user experience. There are several opportunities to be the answer to the need that searchers are looking for.

The Campaign

Several issues were identified during the website SEO audit. SEO Services Australia utilised this data to refine the client’s SEO campaign strategy. The objective was to increase and improve traffic that will eventually generate leads and end in conversions.

3-Phase SEO Strategy

Phase 1 – Increase Rankings

In Australia, only 70% of clicks in Google search results go to organic, while 30% goes to AdWords. A mere 0.83% of SERP clicks get to the second page of Google. With a user taking an average of 9 seconds to scan the first page and click on a link, it’s important to make sure the client’s website will be visible. This data served as a guide for Phase 1.

That’s why the agency made ‘Increase Rankings’ the first phase of the SEO strategy. Increasing the rankings of the client’s website will guarantee the likeliness that the user will click on their website’s link.
From 100+, the following keywords are now on the top 10 of Google SERP:

It only took around 4-5 months for the rankings to improve significantly with some keywords showing improvements as early as the second month.

Phase 2 – Increase Traffic

With visibility comes familiarity. The second phase focuses on increasing the number of visitors directed to the website (an effect of Phase 1’s success). Note that this doesn’t just refer to any traffic but more specifically relevant traffic. What this means is that the users led to the site are those who have a higher chance of actually taking an online fitness CEC course.
SEO Services ensured that the client’s website gets quality traffic and not just random visitors.

Organic monthly traffic started at 524 which increased to 1079 towards the end of the fourth month and continued to hold until the fifth month. The initial goal was to increase traffic by 20-30%. SEO Services managed to exceed that goal with a 105.91% increase in organic traffic.

Phase 3 – Increase Leads
