Online Quran Learning SEO Case Study

About the Client

Our client, a leading Online Quran Learning academy, provides virtual Quran classes for children and adults worldwide focusing on Tajweed, Hifz, Tafseer, and Arabic learning.

Despite offering high-quality one-on-one sessions, the client’s online visibility and student enrollments were stagnant. Paid ads were costly and unsustainable, so they approached Growistan to create an SEO-driven lead generation system through organic search.
