From Invisible to Unstoppable: How SEO Strategy Skyrocketed Generation Genius
Generation Genius is a leading educational platform offering science and math video lessons for K-8 students. Their curriculum aligns with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and various state standards, providing a comprehensive learning experience for educators and students alike. Despite their high-quality content, Generation Genius struggled with limited visibility for key educational keywords, restricting their ability to reach new users effectively. Their goal was clear: improve search rankings, drive organic traffic, and expand their reach to new users.
44.23% Increase in Top 3 Rankings
28% Growth in New Website Users
14% Boost in Organic Traffic (totaling 2,844,492 users)
Domain Authority jumped from DA55 to DA65
Challenge
Generation Genius sought to improve search visibility for over 400 science and math lesson pages in both English and Spanish. The key challenge was targeting the correct keywords to align with their Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)—teachers, schools, and districts—while ensuring high-value, curriculum-aligned traffic over generic student-based queries.
The main obstacles were:
- Balancing broad, high-volume keywords with specific, intent-driven keywords.
- Optimizing content across 400+ pages without compromising user experience.
- Driving high-quality organic traffic that converts into long-term users.
Approach
To meet Generation Genius’s goals, we developed a comprehensive SEO campaign focusing on:
- Keyword Mapping:
- Conducted detailed research to identify keywords aligned with user intent for teachers (lesson plans, hands-on activities) and schools (scalable educational solutions).
- Content Optimization:
- Updated meta descriptions, headers, and on-page content for 400+ lesson pages.
- Content Structure:
- Improved page readability, SEO performance, and engagement through logical content layouts.
By aligning search strategies with Generation Genius’s ICP, we targeted decision-makers and educators rather than students searching for answers.
