From Traffic to Conversion: How We 7Xed Organic Leads for a Silicon Valley EdTech Brand
Location
San Ramon, California
Industry
EdTech
Overview
A fast-growing EdTech company based in Silicon Valley approached us with a specific goal:
“We want to increase our leads from organic search—especially for our coding courses tailored to both kids and adults.”
The brand had already invested in content and had decent visibility online, but they weren’t seeing the ROI they expected from organic traffic. That’s where our team stepped in.
The Challenge
We began with a comprehensive SEO audit and keyword research. Within the first few months, our strategies brought in impressive growth in organic search traffic. The brand started ranking for several high-volume keywords related to coding courses.
However, there was a significant roadblock…
High organic traffic, but low conversions.
Despite thousands of new visitors from search engines, the website’s conversion rate remained below 1%. This mismatch between traffic and lead generation became a major concern for the client.
Our Approach: Rethinking the Organic SEO Strategy
Instead of doubling down on more content and high-volume keywords, we took a step back and analyzed the performance data more critically.
Here’s what we discovered:
Many high-ranking, high-traffic keywords were too broad or informational—bringing in users who weren’t ready to take action.
The long-tail, low-volume keywords with clear transactional intent were driving the few leads that did convert.
With this insight, we realigned our SEO efforts to focus on relevance and search intent over just traffic volume.
