A premium service hiding in plain sight

ClassTutor connects students with top university teachers for premium, interactive group tutoring sessions at affordable prices. The problem? Almost nobody could find them.

Their Wix website was haemorrhaging potential leads with painfully slow load times and a mobile experience that sent visitors running. Organic traffic had flatlined, and their paid advertising was burning budget on clicks that never converted.

Worst of all, they were completely invisible for their core search term: “online group tutoring”. They didn’t need a facelift—they needed a complete digital transformation.
