St. Stephen's School, Birati

The Challenge

When St. Stephen’s School approached us, their digital presence was limited. Despite being a well-established institution, they had very little visibility on Google, making it difficult for prospective parents to discover the school online.

The school also needed a reliable and scalable system to generate quality admission enquiries while reducing dependence on traditional marketing channels.

Our objective was simple:

• Increase the school’s visibility on Google.
• Generate high-quality admission enquiries.
• Improve local search presence.
• Build a sustainable digital marketing ecosystem that delivers long-term results.

Our Strategy

Instead of relying on a single marketing channel, we developed a full-funnel digital strategy combining SEO, Local SEO, Google Business Profile optimization, and Meta Ads.

Phase 1: Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

We implemented a comprehensive SEO strategy that included:

• Technical SEO audit and optimization
• Website architecture improvements
• On-page SEO optimization
• Keyword research based on real user search intent
• Content optimization
• Internal linking improvements
• Local SEO optimization
• Continuous performance monitoring and optimization

Results

• Successfully ranked all major targeted website pages on the first page of Google for their primary keywords.
• Increased the school’s organic visibility across multiple high-intent education-related searches.

Phase 2: Google Business Profile Optimization

We designed a conversion-focused Meta Ads strategy to generate high-quality admission enquiries.

The campaign included:

• Audience research
• Parent-focused targeting
