PROBLEM
OpenClassrooms had excellent brand awareness but wanted to improve its share of traffic from generic (non-brand) queries to increase registrations from new prospects. The platform also needed to better structure its training pages and blog to maximize conversions.
THE OBJECTIVES

THE BOTANIK SOLUTION
We implemented a comprehensive SEO strategy with a strong editorial dimension.

Creation of SEO-oriented semantic modules (FAQ, career opportunities, testimonials).
Addition of internal linking between similar or complementary training courses.
2 — TARGETED CONTENT CREATION

Semantic alignment with professional search intentions.
Implementation of semantic clusters around key verticals.
3 — TECHNICAL AND UX OPTIMIZATION
