SEO for online schools: more students from search
We make your courses more visible in Yandex and Google so that future students can find you. We promote online schools and EdTech businesses with the specifics of the niche in mind: courses, audience and enrollment seasonality.
- Case study: an online psychology school reached the top 3 for its key queries in 4 months
- We promote course and program pages, not just the home page
- Expert content that brings in students and builds trust
How to promote an online school in search
SEO for educational projects differs from promoting a store or a service business: here expertise, trust and strong course pages matter most.
We collect queries for each program and subject area, not just generic "online courses," so that course pages bring in the right students.
We showcase instructors, educational credentials, graduate reviews and outcomes — this matters to both search engines and students.
Articles and materials on your course topics attract an audience at the research stage and guide it toward enrollment.
Courses in medicine, psychology and finance fall under YMYL — they are harder to promote, and we plan for that.
Search results are full of course aggregators and large schools. We find the queries and formats where a smaller school can win.
We prepare the site for demand peaks in advance so that you hold strong positions when enrollment opens.
Comprehensive work, not just "buying links"
In-depth analysis of your site and competitors: we find the weak spots and determine what will drive growth fastest.
We collect the search queries your customers use and map them to the pages of your site.
Page speed, indexing, structure, meta tags, structured data — so search engines understand your site correctly.
Our copywriters write texts that attract traffic, hold attention and prompt action.
Prices, contacts, terms, reviews and trust signals — what affects both rankings and the customer's decision.
Ethical growth of your backlink profile and mentions on relevant platforms — no spam, no penalties.
One city, several regions or all of Russia — the strategy depends on your geography.
Rankings, traffic, conversions and user behavior — in a monthly report with clear conclusions.

Base prices for SEO
Use the plans as a guide to SEO pricing. The exact cost depends on the scope of work and the competition — we will quote it after a free audit.
What affects the cost of SEO
- Keyword volume. The number of key phrases to target and the traffic goals you set.
- YMYL topics. Health, finance, law, education, safety — promotion is harder and may cost more.
- Geography. One region or several; for example, SEO in Moscow costs more than in a small town.
- Site history. The amount and quality of previous development and SEO work done by other contractors.
- Technical fixes. The cost and time of fixing issues found in the technical audit.
- Competition in your niche. A good indicator is the cost of paid search traffic in your industry.
SEO for other industries
We have experience promoting businesses across many sectors. See how we work with other niches.
More and more customers ask ChatGPT, Alice and GigaChat for advice. AI assistants rely on websites that rank well in search, so SEO and GEO work best when developed together. We measure AI visibility with our own tool, PromoLab AI Radar.
Learn about GEO
We have been doing SEO since 2010, with a special focus on online schools and EdTech. Successful SEO is not just about high rankings — it is a powerful growth engine for an educational project.
We build a strategy around the specifics of your niche and audience. Our goal is not only to increase visibility, but to attract the people who will become your students.
Before working with PromoLab, we had worked with several well-known website promotion companies and freelancers. It was a bitter experience, because none of them delivered even a tenth of the results that Alexander and his team achieved. The success of our business is PromoLab's achievement too!
We are completely satisfied with our cooperation with PromoLab. A professional approach, lightning-fast responses to our requests and strong results—that is how their work can be summed up in a few words.
After turning to PromoLab, we optimized our budget and increased our average conversion rate 2.5 times. For some traffic sources the conversion rate was around 40%. Despite such strong results, the team keeps suggesting new tools and working to improve performance
We partnered with Promolab to design our website. We found them incredibly helpful and patient as we really didn't know what we wanted. Alex met with us on numerous occasions and we found the whole process a great experience. We ended up with a website we loved. I would definitely recommend Promolab - you won't be disappointed.
