PROPELLED PAID SEARCH WITH RESTRUCTURE & ITERATIVE TESTING

We improved account performance through machine learning, optimized budgets, and a 12-month plan for ad and landing page copy enhancements, resulting in higher conversion rates and efficiency.

AUDITED, CONSULTED AND MANAGED ORGANIC SEARCH FOR BIG WINS

We conducted an SEO audit and evaluated technical, content, and off-page aspects to streamline user experience and core web vitals. After providing FAQ schema and strategic keyword insights we successfully positioned PowerSchool as a thought leader in education technologies.

LED DATA FIRST INITIATIVES WITH KEY MARKETING TOOLS

Powerschool already used Salesforce, Marketo Measure, GTM, GA4, 6sense, and VMO but we maximized their performance with attribution standards in Bizible, GTM compliance with GDPR, and advanced GA4 conversions. We also advised on 6sense segment usage, utilized VMO, and recommended a next-gen testing platform.
