The Challenge
Blue Dolphin Swim School, a trusted local provider of swim lessons for infants, children, and adults, partnered with us in early 2025. Despite a strong reputation offline, their digital marketing presence did not reflect their expertise.
Their website design lacked optimization, their search engine optimization (SEO) performance was weak, and their social media marketing presence was inconsistent. Competitors with stronger digital marketing strategies were capturing the majority of parents searching for lessons online.
They needed a unified, holistic marketing strategy—one that would increase brand awareness, improve performance across multiple marketing channels, and drive measurable ROI through increased customer engagement, enrollments, and retention.
The Strategy
Our approach was built on omnichannel digital marketing, combining SEO, content marketing, online advertising, and web design to ensure every channel worked together. This wasn’t about isolated tactics—it was about alignment across platforms, channels, and messaging to convert swimmers into long-term students.
- Redesigned the website with modern, mobile-first web design and improved user experience
- Optimized metadata, HTML, site maps, and accessibility for better search engine indexing
- Created targeted landing pages for each swim program (infant, child, adult)
- Integrated structured data to enhance local visibility in search engine marketing (SEM) results
- Conducted keyword research targeting terms like “swim lessons near me” and “infant swim classes Broomfield”
- Built authoritative backlinks to increase domain credibility and visibility
- Used web analytics and Google Analytics to monitor keyword performance and conversions
- Improved rankings across local and organic search with ongoing optimization

- Deployed Google Ads and native advertising to capture seasonal enrollment demand
- Applied market segmentation and personalization to reach the right target audience at the right time
- Designed ads aligned with on-site content marketingfor a seamless journey
- Shared parent testimonials, student success stories, and educational swim tips
