Scenario:

An executive coaching firm wanted to scale their business by increasing enrollments for both their one-time group coaching sessions and their recurring subscription-based programs.

Challenges:

Competing against established players in the executive coaching industry for high-value keywords.

Balancing two different offers: group coaching and recurring programs.

Reducing drop-offs at the booking stage to ensure more appointments were converted into clients.
