Background: No Experience, Big Vision
Adeel Rafiq, a 23-year-old BBA student from Lahore, had no technical background in SEO but wanted to help his sister grow her small event planning business through online visibility. The business had a basic website and Instagram page but wasn’t getting traffic from Google. In March 2025, Adeel enrolled in the SEO Advance Course at SEOTraining.pk, aiming to take charge of the site’s performance himself.
Training: From Fundamentals to Real-World Application
Through structured lessons and live mentorship, Adeel quickly learned the building blocks of SEO including keyword research, on-page SEO, technical optimization, and local search strategy. He mastered tools like Ubersuggest, RankMath, Google Search Console, and Google Business Profile. The course emphasized white-hat strategies and included real-life audits, content writing tips, and speed optimization techniques.
Execution: Implementing SEO Step-by-Step
After identifying high-intent, low-competition keywords such as "event planners in Lahore for weddings" and "affordable mehndi decor services", Adeel restructured the website using proper H1-H2 tags, optimized meta titles/descriptions, and improved mobile loading speed. He wrote 5 blog posts targeting location-based queries and created optimized service pages. Adeel also verified and updated their Google Business Profile, added local citations, and earned 12 backlinks using directory submissions and guest posts.
Results: First-Page Ranking & Inquiries in 45 Days
Within 6 weeks, the site started ranking on Google’s first page for several target keywords including "wedding planner Lahore cheap packages" and "mehndi stage decoration Lahore". The business saw a 400% increase in website visits, and the contact form started receiving 5–8 new inquiries per week. Adeel’s sister closed 3 event bookings directly from SEO-driven leads in the first month alone.
