The Client

A Chicago-based home tutoring service led by Laura, offering personalized academic support across Chicago and Naperville, including math tutoring, reading support, ADHD tutoring, and private in-home instruction.

The Local SEO Objective

Build a dominant hyper-local tutoring authority across Chicago and Naperville by unifying Google Search, Local Pack visibility, and brand trust. The focus was not just rankings, but a sustained page-one presence that parents could rely on when searching for in-home tutors.

The Local SEO Strategy

Before LocalMighty stepped in, the tutoring business had minimal local visibility. Core keywords were buried in the 30+ positions, Google Maps exposure was inconsistent, and organic traffic lacked the authority signals Google expects from a trusted local education provider.
We worked closely with Laura through every phase, aligning SEO execution with real tutoring services and parent intent.
 
• Rebuilt local relevance around education-specific search intent
• Structured location-driven service pages for Chicago and Naperville
• Optimized Google Business Profile for tutoring and in-home services
• Leveraged local education directories and tutoring platforms for referral traffic beyond Google
• Built strong topical authority around math tutoring, private tutoring, and ADHD academic support
• Reinforced trust signals with consistent branding, reviews, and local citations
 
This created one clear signal to Google: this is a trusted local tutoring authority, not just another service page.

Ranking, Traffic & Performance Growth

Keyword visibility improved from page 4 and beyond to dominant page-one positions:
 
• Rankings moved from 30+ positions to Top 1–3
• Core keywords now ranking on Page 1 include:
 
– chicago math tutor
– home tutor chicago
– reading tutor
– private tutoring
– tutoring service
– adhd tutor
– math tutor chicago
 
This represents an over 90% improvement in ranking position across primary tutoring keywords.
 
• Ahrefs organic traffic increased from ~500 to 1.4K/month → 180%+ traffic growth
• Google Analytics shows consistent growth in users, sessions, and engagement
• Local discovery and repeat visibility improved across both Chicago and Naperville
 
Most importantly, these gains were not temporary spikes. Rankings and traffic stabilized and remained consistent, reinforcing long-term authority.

The Result

LocalMighty, a leading local SEO agency in the US, transformed a low-visibility tutoring service into a recognized local education brand across Chicago and Naperville. Parents searching for tutors now consistently discover Laura’s services through Google Search and the Local Map Pack, leading to steady, high-intent inquiries and long-term growth.
