The Challenge
Upskyler, a growing tutoring service in Hong Kong, struggled with visibility in a hyper-competitive education market. Although they offered high-quality in-person and online tutoring services, they lacked the online reach to attract new students consistently.
- A low number of keywords ranking on Google
- Poor organic visibility for key tutoring-related searches
- Reliance on referrals and paid ads for most of their student inquiries
- No clear SEO strategy to drive sustainable growth
The Strategy
We implemented a data-driven SEO strategy focused on:
Building organic visibility through keywords their competitors were lacking
Tracking keyword movements from direct competitors and prioritising high-intent topics
Building backlinks focusing on pages with consistent ranking growth and user engagement
Phase 1: Technical & On-Page SEO Foundations
1.1 Website Audit & Fixes
- Fixed on-page issues (title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure)
- Improved crawlability and indexation of key subject and course pages
- Translation to Traditional Chinese debug
1.2 Keyword Research
- Targeted high-volume tutoring keywords in Cantonese and English
- Optimised existing pages to align with search intent
- Created keyword clusters for priority topics (e.g., DSE, primary tutoring, one-on-one classes)
1.3 Content Strategy & Blog Development
- Published SEO-optimised blog content around local tutoring tips and parent concerns
- Used internal linking to support key landing pages and improve time on site
Phase 2: Performance Tracking & Growth Monitoring
2.1 Keyword Rank Tracking
- Shifted from generic to service-specific niche keyword campaign directly targeting parents
- Increased number of ranking keywords up to 75 on the first page of Google
- Added negative keywords to cut waste and boost relevance
2.2 Organic Traffic Growth
- Sessions from organic search increased from 4,677 to 13,444 (+187.5%)
- Engaged sessions grew from 2,607 to 6,919 (+165.4%)
