The challenge
Invisible in their own towns
In the 6 months before we started, the site got 3 clicks and 78 impressions from Google. Parents searching “english tutor” or “college essay tutor” in their town found other tutors, never this one.
The Google Business Profile listed 40+ service areas, had the wrong hours and only 1 category. And lead tracking wasn’t counting form fills or WhatsApp clicks.
