Journey Sequence

Appointment Growth Roadmap

The sequence emphasizes reputation signals, local discovery, and internal links that move users across connected services.

Forget 'tutor near me'. Parents and students search for exact solutions. Use this 3-tier keyword framework to dominate local intent:

  1. Tier 1 (Broad): 'Online math tutor' → 50K searches/mo, 85 difficulty

  2. Tier 2 (Subject-Specific): 'AP Statistics tutor NYC' → 8K searches/mo, 65 difficulty

  3. Tier 3 (Hyper-Specific): 'Harvard grad SAT tutor for dyslexic students in Tribeca' → 200 searches/mo, 30 difficulty

The 'Parent Proxy' Hack

Parents search differently than students. Target 'best [subject] tutor for [child's grade] in Downtown' (e.g., 'best chemistry tutor for 10th grader in Palo Alto'). These keywords convert 3x higher because parents control the budget.
