Case study

Integrated copy and SEO for a trauma therapy training institute

How a well-established training institute went from relying on repeat customers to consistently winning new ones, with organic traffic up 35%, website conversions more than doubled, and course sales growing year over year every month.

Results at a glance

Measured July 2025 to June 2026.

The challenge

The institute was already successful, with strong programs and a loyal base. But almost all of its business came from repeat customers, and new-student acquisition had stalled.

Two things held it back. The copy across the site, content, and email was inconsistent. And while the positioning was clear, the wording was not written the way prospective students actually search, so organic visibility was weak. The result was a great institute that new audiences simply could not find.

The approach

A single, integrated overhaul of copy and SEO, handled end to end, so that messaging, content, and search worked together rather than in silos.

• Website copy rewritten for consistency and sharper positioning, in language aligned to real search intent.
• Technical and on-page SEO across the site, so strong copy could actually rank.
• A content engine of blog posts, long-form articles, and Substack pieces to build authority and capture new search traffic.
• Email marketing copy to convert and retain the growing audience.

The results

Organic traffic grew 35% over the period, with paid traffic tracked separately.

The email list grew from 16,256 to 21,352 subscribers, more than 5,000 net new and well-targeted contacts.

Conversion improved on both fronts. Website conversion more than doubled, from roughly 1 to 2% of visitors up to 3.5% and above. Email conversion rose from about 2% to 5%, a 2.5× improvement.

Course sales grew year over year every month for the past year, with double-digit gains throughout and acceleration to more than 20% per month across the most recent nine.

The takeaway

The institute did not need a bigger ad budget. It needed to be findable, consistent, and convincing to people discovering it for the first time. Integrating copy and SEO turned a repeat-customer business into one that reliably acquires new students through organic search, while converting more of every visitor and subscriber it earned.
