Overview

Livius Prep is a nationally recognized tutoring and test-prep provider with 40+ years of experience helping students achieve higher SAT/ACT scores, stronger academic performance, and college admissions success. With thousands of families served and a reputation for data-driven results, Livius came to us looking to scale demand generation while lowering their rising cost per acquisition across tutoring and test-prep programs.

Challenges Before
Working with Jives

  • Rising Google Ads costs were eating into margins, with CPAs increasing month after month.

  • Paid search campaigns weren’t segmented by program type, causing lower-intent leads to drain budget.

  • Organic visibility lagged behind major competitors in key markets and for high-value terms like “SAT tutoring near me” and “ACT prep program.”

  • Landing pages lacked clear enrollment pathways, lowering conversion rates and lead quality.

  • No unified measurement system across ads, forms, and phone calls.

Our Plan of action

  • Rebuilt Google Ads into a segmented structure for SAT, ACT, and Academic Tutoring to match parent intent.

  • Shifted budget to high-intent local searches and peak enrollment windows to maximize efficiency.

  • Deployed negative keyword filtering to eliminate low-value searches and competitor-grade traffic.

  • Introduced fresh landing page variants built for conversion — simplified forms, trust badges, and score-improvement proof points.

  • Executed an SEO sprint focused on program pages and local markets: optimized metadata, schema, internal linking, and tutoring-specific keywords.

  • Published new content around test-prep timelines, score improvement strategies, and regional search demand.

  • Implemented full funnel tracking via GA4 + GSC + call tracking to attribute every lead source accurately.
