Project Background
A K12 education and training institution in a second tier city, specializing in mathematics and English tutoring. Affected by policies, traditional advertising placement is restricted, and customer acquisition channels have sharply narrowed. More and more parents are using AI search to find training institutions.
Core issues
- Traditional advertising channels are limited, and customer acquisition costs have risen to 400 yuan/person
- When parents choose training institutions, they often use AI to search for "which tutoring class is good in XX city"
- Institutions are almost invisible in AI search results
GEO optimization strategy
Localized content construction
- Create a series of content for the "K12 Training Institution Guide in XX City"
- Release localized evaluation of 'Comparison of XX District Junior High School Mathematics Tutoring Classes'
- Produce professional content such as "Analysis of Mathematics Test Points for Middle School Entrance Examination" that parents are concerned about
- Publish student score improvement cases (hide sensitive information)
Multi platform information improvement
- Improve the institutional information of Baidu Maps and Gaode Maps
- Accumulate authentic evaluations from parents on Dianping
- Answering educational topics such as "How to choose tutoring classes" on Zhihu
Word of mouth construction
- Encourage parents to write authentic reviews on multiple platforms
- Make a video of parents' interview and release it in Tiktok
- Publish teacher team introduction and teaching philosophy content

Core Insights
The key to GEO optimization in the education industry is to establish a dual label of "professionalism+trust". When parents ask AI to recommend training institutions, AI will comprehensively evaluate the reputation, professionalism, and localized information of the institutions. Authentic parental evaluations and professional teaching content are the strongest endorsement of trust.
