SEO for education — academic E-E-A-T, dual audiences.
Education brands serve two audiences with different intents: parents/students researching, and program seekers in evaluation. We build content programs that serve both.
What is Education SEO?
Education SEO is the discipline of organic visibility for higher education, K-12, EdTech, online learning, and bootcamp brands — operating under academic E-E-A-T standards, programmatic SEO opportunities (course pages, program pages, instructor pages), and dual-audience content. Most engagements start with an SEO audit covering both audiences (parents/students researching, decision-makers evaluating).

Education SEO questions.
How does academic E-E-A-T differ from regular E-E-A-T?
Higher bar. Authors need verifiable academic credentials. Sources should be peer-reviewed where claims are made. Institutional affiliation matters. Schema should reflect academic context.
Can EdTech compete with established universities in SEO?
On long-tail and outcome-focused queries, yes. EdTech brands often win on specific skill/career outcomes; universities win on broad academic queries. Different angles.
