Degree, Diploma, MBA, Postgraduate and Higher Education Searches
30+ Top 3 Rankings | 55+ Top 10 Rankings | Stronger Organic Visibility
For a private education institution, ranking for searches such as degree courses in Singapore, private diploma in Singapore, part-time MBA Singapore and postgraduate diploma is highly competitive.
Amity Global Institute (AGI) already had an established brand and a broad portfolio of undergraduate, postgraduate and diploma programmes. However, its organic visibility did not fully reflect the breadth of its academic offering.
We at SEOCompany.me undertook a comprehensive SEO programme covering technical SEO, website restructuring, programme-page optimisation, content development, E-E-A-T improvements, topical authority, Digital PR and contextual link acquisition.
The result was a significant improvement in search visibility, including 30+ Google Top 3 rankings and 55+ Google Top 10 rankings for commercially relevant education keywords.
Amity Global Institute is a private education institution in Singapore offering programmes across areas including business and management, accounting and finance, education, hospitality, technology, logistics and supply chain management, and other disciplines.
Its programme portfolio spans diplomas, advanced diplomas, postgraduate diplomas, postgraduate certificates, master’s degrees, doctorate programmes and preparatory courses. The institution also works with internationally recognised UK university partners, including the University of London, University of Northampton and Teesside University.
The institution operates from its flagship campus on Orchard Road in Singapore and serves a diverse student community.
For an education brand with such a broad programme portfolio, organic search visibility is important because prospective students typically research programmes, entry requirements, universities, qualifications, career pathways and study options before making an enquiry.
That made SEO more than a traffic-generation exercise. The objective was to build a search ecosystem capable of connecting prospective students with the right programme at different stages of their decision-making journey.
Amity was competing for valuable search terms against established education providers and institutions with significant digital visibility.
Searches related to degrees, diplomas, MBA programmes and postgraduate education are particularly competitive because they combine high commercial intent with strong competition from universities, private education institutions, aggregators and education portals.
The challenge was therefore not simply to increase the number of ranking keywords. It was to establish stronger relevance and authority around the programme categories that matter commercially.
The existing website required a substantial refresh.
The website experience, information architecture and underlying technical setup were limiting opportunities for organic growth. The objective was to modernise the site while retaining its existing WordPress infrastructure and ensuring that SEO remained central to the redesign.
Programme pages are some of the most commercially important pages for an education institution.
However, many pages required stronger search-intent alignment, clearer content hierarchy and more useful information for prospective students.
The strategy therefore moved beyond simply adding keywords. Programme pages were rebuilt around the questions students actually need answered before considering an application.
Ranking for competitive programme terms requires more than optimising individual landing pages.
The website needed supporting content covering degree choices, postgraduate education, MBA-related topics, career considerations, study options and other questions prospective students commonly research.
This created an opportunity to build topical authority around higher education rather than treating every programme page as an isolated SEO asset.
The campaign began with detailed competitor and search-market research.
More than 10 competing higher education institutions were analysed to identify:
Keywords were then mapped to appropriate pages to minimise overlap and keyword cannibalisation.
This was particularly important because Amity offers numerous programmes across similar disciplines. Each important page needed a clear purpose rather than competing against another Amity URL for the same search intent.
Rather than moving to a different CMS, the existing WordPress website was redesigned and modernised.
The objective was to create a better experience for both prospective students and search engines.
The work included:
The redesign was treated as an SEO project as well as a design project.
This ensured that improvements to usability, content structure, internal linking and crawlability worked together rather than being implemented independently.
The programme pages became a major focus of the strategy.
Each important programme page was reviewed and improved based on its target audience, search intent and position within the website architecture.
Content improvements included:
This programme-focused approach was also central to our education SEO case study for Explico, where targeted page creation and content optimisation helped improve visibility for competitive education-related searches.
This approach reflects what successful higher-education SEO campaigns consistently demonstrate: programme pages need to be treated as strategic acquisition assets, not simply course catalogue entries. Seer Interactive’s higher-education case study, for example, links programme-page optimisation and ongoing content analysis directly with page-one rankings and organic form fills.
The website navigation was restructured to create clearer relationships between:
Academic level → Discipline → Programme → Supporting content
This helped establish topical silos and made it easier for users to move between related programmes and resources.
Internal linking was also strengthened to distribute contextual relevance throughout the site.
For a large education website, this is particularly important because programme pages should not exist as isolated destinations. Supporting pages, discipline pages and educational resources should reinforce the same topical entities and search themes.
Technical SEO was addressed alongside the content and website redesign.
The implementation included:
The goal was to provide Google with a cleaner, more understandable website while ensuring prospective students could navigate the site efficiently.
The strategy expanded beyond commercial programme pages.
Educational content was developed around topics relevant to prospective students, including:
The content was strategically connected to relevant programme pages through internal links and contextual calls to action.
This created a broader topical network around higher education and allowed the website to address users at different stages of the search journey.
A similar content-led approach appears in our Spartan Maths SEO case study, where educational content was used alongside new pages and ongoing blogging to strengthen organic visibility.
Education is a high-consideration sector. Prospective students need reliable information about qualifications, awarding universities, entry requirements, programme structure, duration and potential career pathways.
The SEO strategy therefore focused on making important information clearer, more accessible and easier to verify.
Programme pages were strengthened with detailed academic information, admission requirements, programme structures, FAQs and university information.
The strategy also used institutional achievements and credible third-party coverage to reinforce the organisation's real-world authority.
For example, Amity Global Institute's four-year EduTrust certification renewal has been reported externally, with the certification reflecting assessment across areas including governance, student support, academic processes, outcomes and continual improvement.
These verifiable institutional signals are valuable because they allow an education website to demonstrate credibility rather than simply assert it.
Digital PR became an important component of the authority-building strategy.
Amity's institutional achievements and developments were promoted through relevant media outreach, including announcements relating to:
Coverage was secured across external publications and media platforms, including Taiwan News and other distribution channels.
This helped create third-party references to the institution while supporting broader brand visibility.
The approach was not based on acquiring links indiscriminately. The focus was on creating legitimate stories around real institutional developments and earning relevant mentions.
That distinction is important for an E-E-A-T-led SEO strategy: authority is stronger when it is supported by genuine organisational achievements and independent references.
High-quality contextual links were acquired from relevant education-focused websites and articles.
The link-building strategy prioritised:
Links were treated as one part of a broader authority strategy rather than the primary SEO tactic.
This was particularly important in a competitive education market where stronger rankings require the website to demonstrate relevance, quality and authority across multiple dimensions.
The campaign delivered significant improvements in Google's organic search visibility.
Amity Global Institute achieved 30+ Top 3 Google rankings for competitive education-related searches.
Examples included terms around:
These are strategically important rankings because they align closely with programme discovery and student research.
The website also achieved 55+ Top 10 rankings across commercial education searches.
The ranking portfolio included terms related to:
The supplied SEMrush position-tracking data provides evidence of the improved keyword visibility.
Competitive analysis also showed Amity Global Institute achieving higher estimated organic traffic than the comparison competitors included in the campaign analysis.
The supplied SEMrush comparison recorded:
Top 10 Keywords Ranking
These figures should be interpreted as third-party estimated traffic metrics from SEMrush, not first-party Google Analytics traffic.
The result nevertheless demonstrates the scale of Amity’s search visibility relative to the competitors included in the analysis.
| Website | Estimated Organic Traffic |
|---|---|
| Amity Global Institute | 91.82 |
| PSB Academy | 59.85 |
| Kaplan | 61.47 |
| MDIS | 46.76 |
Top 3 Keywords Ranking
The campaign demonstrates that sustainable education SEO requires multiple disciplines working together.
Technical SEO created a stronger foundation.
Website restructuring improved information architecture and crawlability.
Programme-page optimisation aligned commercially important pages with specific search intent.
Content development expanded topical coverage.
Internal linking connected supporting content with commercial programme pages.
Digital PR strengthened external brand visibility.
Contextual link acquisition supported authority development.
Ongoing content updates helped keep important programme information current.
The outcome was not dependent on a single SEO tactic. It came from building a more complete search ecosystem around Amity’s programmes and institutional expertise.
The SEO transformation strengthened Amity Global Institute’s ability to compete for high-intent education searches in Singapore. This programme-led approach forms part of our broader SEO for Higher Education strategy, designed to help universities, private education institutions and colleges improve organic visibility and attract prospective students.
Improved rankings meant prospective students searching for degrees, diplomas, postgraduate programmes and MBA options had more opportunities to discover Amity through organic search.
At the same time, the website became better equipped to answer the questions that influence education decisions, from entry requirements and programme structure to study mode, duration and career relevance.
The strategy also established a scalable foundation. New programmes, supporting content and institutional developments can now be incorporated into a clearer website architecture and strengthened through the existing topical authority framework.
Importantly, the case study does not attribute specific enrolment or revenue figures to SEO because verified first-party conversion and revenue data was not available for publication. Instead, the measurable outcomes focus on documented ranking and estimated visibility improvements.
The biggest change was moving from isolated keyword optimisation to programme-led search strategy.
Instead of asking only:
“Which keywords can this page rank for?”
the strategy considered:
“What does a prospective student need to know, which page should answer it, how does that page connect to the relevant programme, and what evidence supports the institution's credibility?”
That shift helped align SEO with the actual student decision journey.
It also reflects a pattern seen across successful higher-education SEO case studies: technical foundations, programme-page optimisation, useful content and authority development need to work together to produce sustainable search growth.
The Amity Global Institute project highlights five important lessons for universities, colleges and private education institutions:
They should answer the questions students actually ask, not simply list course information.
Clear relationships between disciplines, qualification levels, programmes and supporting content help both users and search engines understand the site.
Claims about academic quality, partnerships, certifications and institutional achievements should be supported by clear on-site information and credible external references.
Informational content is most valuable when it strengthens the wider topic and naturally guides users towards relevant programmes.
Technical quality, useful content, institutional credibility, Digital PR, relevant mentions and contextual links all contribute to a stronger organic presence.
Higher education SEO is highly competitive. Ranking for valuable searches requires more than inserting keywords into programme pages.
