Digital Marketing Agency Case Study: Doris Chiang
An accomplished pianist, Doris Chiang shares her expertise with the world by being an instructor. Doris is a renowned piano teacher in Southern California. After completing her piano lessons, her students have received several prizes and given recognitions of merit. Her private piano lessons are designed for people of all ages. She also offers virtual piano lessons to students who can’t attend her piano lessons in person. Before launching her website, she already had students through referrals. She wanted to spread the joys of piano playing even further by introducing her website, dorischiang.com where students can schedule a class online.
Although Doris Chiang is a renowned piano teacher, her website didn’t get enough leads when it launched. Her website didn’t have a solid online presence. She consulted with Danny in 2015 to help her launch a brand awareness campaign and devise an SEO strategy that could boost her brand’s organic visibility. She wanted her name or piano lessons to appear on top of the search results when people are looking for “piano lessons in Orange County.” Furthermore, Doris Chiang’s website didn’t drive qualified traffic. The bounce rate was 95%.
Doris Chiang consulted with Danny and wanted to improve her website’s ranking dramatically. The first thing that they did was to search for profitable keywords and determine a content marketing campaign that resonates with potential students.
