SEO tips that can grow your education-based business

Working with businesses that involve education and learning can be a bit harder to grow. After all, usually the demographic is a bit smaller, and often a younger crowd. But, here we’ll talk about how you can grow your education-based business and how to use SEO in order to make it work for you

Think About Going Mobile First

Mobile is essentially the way to go for any education-based site, and that’s because mobile version is used more than the desktop version, and oftentimes, it’s considered the default version. This might be a problem because usually all the websites are put under one domain, so the website might be mobile-ready in some cases, but other areas not so much. If possible, try to put everything that’s on your web pages into mobile initially. In our world currently, mobile is used so much more than desktop, so you should be careful. And, if you have any pages that aren’t mobile-friendly, rectify this immediately and prioritize mobile use.

Social Media is the way to Promote

When it comes to promotion, you will want to use social media in order to generate success and usage of this. Whether it be a Facebook page or an Instagram blog, you want to utilize social media. The reason: it is the main way students communicate these days, and if you want to connect to those who utilize your education-based service, it’s definitely important that you utilize social media.

With this as well, if you already have pages, make sure that they’re constantly updated with new content, and if you’re promoting say a tutoring service, always put out content related to this that students can utilize, since this is usually their way to go, and ultimately the way to generate more revenue.

Consider an SEO Audit

One common element that many businesses do, including SEO, is an SEO audit. Often, before you can even consider improving rankings on an existing business, you need to perform an SEO audit. This will tell you where you’re falling short, and what exactly needs to be done, along with some tactics in order to improve the site, and other IT actions that need to be taken. This will tell you the realistic SEO health of the website, and also if you’re able to revive it, or if you’ll need to start all over with your website.

Look at the Keywords and How they Integrate into Content

One big part of education-based services is the content. Lots of times, if you are working with a college or university page, the keywords don’t match what a student will search, and while Google is getting better with understanding queries, it's not perfect. Lots of times, it falls upon you to integrate the terms and keywords, and if you are running a tutoring business, integrating the right keywords into content is a huge part.

Lots of degrees are actually not listed in the same way. Communication is actually "human communications" which involve PR and other communication activities. But, communications can also mean journalism and the like, so if you're going to make a course, you should also make sure that you integrate as many relevant keywords that are in there.

With some courses, if you know the terminology changes, you’ll want to make sure that you review the keywords that are used, and make sure they’re popular and will be looked at by students when searched. The one thing that’s a bit mind-blowing about people, is that there are new queries happening every single day, and some of them are not even heard of before! About 15% of queries that were made back in 2017 were queries that Google hadn't even heard of. So, if you’re worried about not getting enough traffic, you should always revise the keywords and make sure that you’re hitting every single query that’s out there. With SEO, you’d be amazed at the difference that this makes, and you’d be surprised at how a few keywords make a difference.

For education-based businesses, you need to make sure you follow all of these factors. These tips will help you, and if you use this, you’ll be amazed at the difference this will make ad how much business you end up generating. Lots of times, even the small changes such as converting to a mobile service can change your overall results, and it will in turn help students get their queries answered faster, and build a much more positive community as well.
