They are an expert-led options trading education platform offering online courses designed to help traders and investors confidently navigate financial markets using advanced instruments and proven strategies.

As the platform expanded its course library, performance on the business side told a different story. Despite adding new courses, sales were slowing, engagement was dropping, and organic visibility remained low.

What they needed was clear:

“A way to attract the right learners, keep them engaged, and turn visits into enrollments.”

The Challenge

What Was Slowing Things Down

Real signals that showed where growth was breaking down.

"Zero organic visibility on a new website”
Without an organic footprint, it was nearly impossible to drive consistent course enrollments from search.
“Low landing page conversion rates”
Even when visitors landed on key pages, the pages were not optimized to turn interest into sign-ups.
“Content positioning was not strategic ”
Content needed a clear angle and structure to showcase USPs, otherwise it would blend in with everyone else publishing in the same space.
“Minimal brand awareness and social media presence”
With no audience base or social distribution, early reach had to be built from scratch.
“The trickiest part: aligning Erik’s thought process with the audience’s needs”
We had to strike the balance between Erik’s framework and what the target audience expects to read, trust, and act on.

The WisdmLabs Solution

What We Did About It

We made one key decision early. Instead of chasing immediate course sales, we focused on building a sustainable organic visibility foundation first. After competitive research, we split the project into two clear phases.

Build the foundation (visibility + conversions)

What we focused on

Competitive landscape analysis to see what works in the options education space
Problem aware and solution aware content to match real search intent
Comprehensive on page SEO across blogs and key pages
Redesign of key pages for clarity and conversions
- course landing pages
- about page
- blog architecture
Regular speed optimisation support from the tech team

Why this phase mattered

Helped the site get discovered more consistently
Made important pages easier to read and act on
Improved site structure for both users and search engines

Scale what worked (content clusters + distribution)

What we focused on

Replicating successful content cluster patterns from top competitors
Expanding into technical investment topics based on performance data
Launching a LinkedIn distribution strategy to build thought leadership
Adding an exit intent pop up promoting the free course on the homepage

Why this phase mattered

Turned early traction into repeatable growth
Expanded keyword reach with more technical topics
Increased visibility for the free course and supported sign ups
