Project Goal: Increase Organic Leads & Reduce Operation Cost
About Global Scholar China (GSC): Global Scholar China is an educational agency run by international students in Nanjing, China. They help international students secure full scholarships for bachelor’s and master’s programs in Chinese universities. Their mission is to make the process of getting a scholarship and studying in China super straightforward, hassle-free, and affordable for students.
The Challenge Global Scholar China Was Facing
Since GSC started its operation, they relied only on Meta Ads for lead generation. Resulting in higher costs in the long run and low conversion rates. They required a system that would generate them monthly organic leads. They had another major setback in the backend as they manually processed student applications. This resulted in more work time for the team and less efficiency.
The Solution We Provided
We provided a strategy to transition GSC from ad-dependency to organic growth. This included building a custom conversion-focused website, implementing a strong SEO strategy with content marketing, and running a social media marketing campaign. We also automated their student application process through a custom-built form integrated with Google Sheets to solve their backend inefficiencies.
Custom Website Design: We designed and developed a fully custom site on Wix Studio, based on Figma mockups, with a focus on conversion, simplicity, and mobile responsiveness.
SEO & Article Writing: To boost organic traffic, we optimized the entire site for SEO, from technical setup to content structure. We also created SEO-optimized blog articles monthly, driving consistent organic traffic.
Social Media Marketing: We created and managed social media content to build brand awareness, establish authority, and direct traffic to the website. This helped position GSC as a trusted resource in their space.
Results Global Scholar China Achieved
Within 6 months, GSC saw a 400% increase in organic leads. Their website now consistently receives student applications via the new automated form. The combination of SEO and social media strategies also brought a steady flow of new student inquiries.
