How Way2lift turned live-shipment training into a steady batch pipeline

Way2lift — LIMRA Institute of Foreign Trade in Jayanagar, Bangalore — runs one of the city’s most practical import-export programmes, complete with live JNPT port visits and an international placement network. Its offline reputation was strong; its online enquiries weren’t. Beta Digital Marketing rebuilt the funnel across SEO, Google Ads and social.

The Challenge

Broad audience, narrow visibility

The people most likely to enrol — career-changers, graduates, small manufacturers — were searching every day. Way2lift just wasn't showing up when they did.

Search visibility gap. The site sat around page three for core terms like “import export training in Bangalore” and “import export course in Jayanagar,” while competitors held the top of page one for every commercial query.

No lead funnel. Enquiries arrived through a mix of calls, a basic form and WhatsApp, with nothing tracked — so there was no way to know what a batch admission actually cost or where it came from.

Social without a system. Posts went out, but content wasn’t built around the proof points — live shipments, placements, port visits — that convince someone to enrol, and none of it fed the enquiry funnel.

Our Solution

Four channels, one admissions funnel

We connected SEO, Google Ads and social into a single, tracked funnel — every channel measured on cost per enquiry and batch admissions, with Way2lift’s practical USPs as the hook throughout.

01

Local SEO for course + area searches

Optimised the site for high-intent import-export terms across Bangalore and Jayanagar, added course and FAQ schema, cleaned up thin and placeholder content, and built a Google Business Profile to capture local “near me” searches.

Keywords on page 1

02

Google Ads built for admissions

Launched tight search campaigns on commercial course keywords, added negative keywords to stop wasted spend, and routed clicks to a focused enquiry landing page instead of the homepage.

03

Social media that sells the practical edge

In their words

“Our training was always practical and strong — now the right people actually find us before a batch starts. For the first time we can see where each enquiry comes from and what it costs.”

The Takeaway

A great course still needs to be found

Way2lift never had a product problem — its live-shipment training and placement network are genuine differentiators. The gap was purely visibility and structure: being present when high-intent students search, and tracking every enquiry back to a source.

By wiring SEO, Google Ads and social into one measurable admissions funnel, we turned a strong offline reputation into predictable batch enrolments — the same full-funnel model we run for every client.
