Case Study
Running a successful yoga school in a place like Rishikesh (Yoga Capital of the World) isn’t that easy. For that, not only do you need a good location, knowledgeable teachers, well-thought out curriculum and supportive staff but also a reliable online presence through a website. On top of that, your website should have good search visibility so that it becomes easy for people to find your brand online.
Here is the case study of RishikulYogshala, a yoga school that started in 2010 and positioned themselves as one of the top Yoga Schools in Rishikesh. There were lots of challenges that we faced here at Digital Marketing Soul to position this yoga brand in the market but our team’s hard work and dedication made it possible.
Current Statistics’ : Ahrefs Overview Report
Challenges we faced in the beginning
When we took the project, we did our analysis and found out that there were plenty of SEO mistakes and also the websitewas not mobile friendly. The user experience wasn’t up to the mark, content was poor, images were not optimized, site speed was way too slow and navigation was dreadful. RishikulYogshala got in touch with us and we explained the issues to them.
What was our Action Plan?
1. Website Audit
First, we started with the website audit and worked from header to footer to make the website user friendly for the users. Here are some key points that we tweaked during the website audit:
- Website navigation & structure:We tweaked the navigation and structure of the website so that users could navigate the site easily and find the information they are looking for.
- Speed up Website: We worked with the development team and notified them of the issues as to why the website was taking so much time to load. They optimized the website and the website speed was improved.
- Website Content: In the beginning, the website content was poor and some part of the website didn’t have original content. We worked with the content team and removed all the content that was not appropriate and our content team wrote a fresh copies that were updated on the website.
- Optimize for Conversions:It does not matter how good your website is and how much traffic you are receiving if the website is not optimized for conversion. There were no CTA’s (Call to Action) available on the website. So we added the CTA’s accordingly and optimized the pages for conversion.
- Optimized For SEO: Taking the inputs from Competitor Analysis and keyword research that we will discuss later in the post, we tweaked Meta tags, placed the keywords in the webpage strategically so that our audience searching for the courses, are able to find the courses on RishikulYogshala.
