Page 16: SEO Presentation Case Study with Tips and Tricks

REVIEW & BRAINSTORM

Global Changes• Condense the number of pages.• Front page is confusing and navigation changes• Disable tabs so they don’t function as buttons• No clear indication of flow or direction. No emphasis

on any page to guide the viewer’s eye. Create an easy path for prospective students to follow.

• Gear our home page toward prospective students• Incorporate SEO for better search results• Home page should be 90% prospective student and

10% current• Create a better brochure that is more friendly and

informative to us• Highlight social media. Include Pinterest and Linkedin

Page 17: SEO Presentation Case Study with Tips and Tricks

REVIEW & BRAINSTORM

Missing Pages/Sections• Why students choose UVU Aviation• Show several statistics using info graphics

and other content• Tuition comparison• Have student pull quotes and video

interviews• Department/Group Pages• Flight Training• Faculty• Maintenance/Facilities• Online • Student Support

Page 18: SEO Presentation Case Study with Tips and Tricks

REVIEW & BRAINSTORM

Current Pages That Need Changes• Fleet • Create videos for each plane• Tuition• Show comparison to other schools• Photo Gallery• Home Page• See global changes above• More friendly brochure request

• Make students the priority• Introductory flight information• Use quotes/video from students• What will it be like section• Student Degree Path• Link to Wolverine Track• Show student degree path

Page 19: SEO Presentation Case Study with Tips and Tricks

REVIEW & BRAINSTORM

Other Notes• Highlight the Intro flight opportunity• Blog is stale and not updated. We are not using it in the

correct way. Have regular blog posts.• Facebook should really be highlighted as it is constantly

updated with new content• Subscribe to newsletter is awful. This actually shouldn’t

exist. • Lacking clear tuition button or information• Highlight the wolverine track and course

schedules/career track• Accreditation pages should link to the video• Create global FAQ’s page
