Campaign Scope

This anonymized Education campaign applied International SEO for Google.lk, Google.com.au, Google.co.nz, with a reported timeframe of 6 months.

The Objective

The education website needed to reach prospective students searching from more than one country. The goal was to grow qualified visibility on Google.lk, Google.com.au, and Google.co.nz at the same time, rather than in a single local market.

What Was Done

01Market-by-market search visibility

Search performance was reviewed separately for Sri Lanka, Australia, and New Zealand, because the same course or study topic can be searched differently in each country.

02International keyword expansion

Pages were aligned with the queries students use in each target market, which is reflected in ranking keywords growing from 180 to 342.

03Clicks and impressions measurement

Progress was measured with a like-for-like three-month comparison of organic clicks and search impressions, so seasonal swings were not mistaken for SEO growth.

How to Interpret These Results

These are reported outcomes for this campaign, not guaranteed benchmarks or forecasts. Traffic, ranking, enquiry, and technical measures describe different aspects of performance and should not be compared as if they were equivalent. A future campaign should be assessed against its own baseline, measurement setup, market, and business goals.
