Potchefstroom Academy: SEO, Google Ads and Course Enquiry Growth

SEO & GOOGLE ADS CASE STUDY: POTCHEFSTROOM ACADEMY

Potchefstroom Academy worked with Let’s Go Media to improve digital visibility, search performance, paid media activity, user experience, and course enquiry growth.

Established in 1981, Potchefstroom Academy has made a name for itself as a leading higher education provider. In 2003, the academy acquired SAAHST and expanded its offering.

The project focused on making it easier for prospective students to find the academy, understand the offering, and take action.
