01 / The Problem

A Great School.
Nobody Could Find.

CTT Academy trains commercial truck drivers in Mississauga — a high-intent market where one call becomes a CA$5,000+ course enrolment.

Their average local rank was 16.32. Nearly half the time they weren't in the Map Pack at all. Competitors who trained worse were winning because they ranked better.

Every month spent invisible was students enrolling elsewhere. At a CA$5,000+ average course value, even a handful of missed leads meant tens of thousands in lost revenue.

02 / The Strategy

Two Levers.
One Direction: Up.

We identified the two highest-leverage moves and executed with precision.

01 — Google Ads
🎯
Paid Search

Precision Audience Testing

Rebuilt the campaign around Ontario-specific intent signals. Multiple segments ran simultaneously — budget shifted weekly to whoever converted best.

  • Career-switchers, job seekers & CDL upgraders tested separately
  • Ad creative matched to each segment's core motivation
  • Weekly budget reallocation to top-converting audiences
  • Landing pages aligned to MELT, AZ and DZ programmes
Outcome: 27.68% CVR · CA$5.44 cost per conversion · 217 calls
02 — Local SEO
📍
Organic Search

Map Pack Domination

Top 3 or invisible — there's no middle ground in local search. We audited every gap and built a systematic ranking program across Mississauga.

  • Full Google Business Profile audit and rebuild
  • Ranking gaps mapped by query and geographic grid
  • Targeted highest-volume commercial driving queries
  • Weekly rank tracking with iterative improvements
Outcome: Rank 16.32 → 4.04 · Out of Pack 47% → 0% · High vis 2% → 56%
