Are you running an accredited wellness course but struggling to attract students? You're not alone! Many excellent programs remain hidden online because they're missing one crucial ingredient:
SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
What is SEO and Why Should You Care?
Think of SEO as making your course visible to people searching online. 75% of potential students begin their search for courses on the internet. If your course doesn't appear in their search results, they'll never find you—no matter how excellent your program is!
Your accreditation already gives you a competitive edge. Now let's make sure people can actually find you.
6 Simple Steps to Improve Your Online Visibility
1. Use Words People Actually Search For
Focus on specific phrases that include your accreditation status:
Instead of just: "Yoga Teacher Training" Try: "Accredited Yoga Teacher Training Toronto"
Instead of: "Nutrition Course" Try: "Certified Nutritionist Course Canada"
Also consider adding question-based phrases to your website like:
"Why choose an accredited wellness course?"
"How does accreditation improve job prospects?"
Simple tools to find these words:
Google Keyword Planner (free with Google Ads account)
AnswerThePublic.com (great for finding questions people ask)
Ubersuggest (offers some free searches)
2. Update Your Website Content
Page titles: These appear in search results and browser tabs. Example: "Accredited Yoga Teacher Training Vancouver | Wellness Canada Certified"
Meta descriptions: The short summary that appears under your title in search results. Example: "Enroll in our Wellness Canada Accredited Yoga Certification—rated #1 in Vancouver for employability."
Headers: Use your main keywords in your page headings. Example: "Why Our Wellness Canada Accredited Program Stands Out"
Course descriptions: Mention your accreditation naturally 3-4 times on your course pages.
3. Create Helpful Content About Accreditation
People have questions about accreditation—answer them! Create blog posts like:
"5 Reasons Employers Prefer Accredited Wellness Certifications"
"How to Verify if a Course is Truly Accredited in Canada"
Don't forget to include success stories from your graduates who benefited from your accredited program.
Bonus tip: Turn these blog posts into videos or social media posts to reach even more people.
4. Don't Forget Local Searches
Many students prefer courses close to home. Make sure to:
Set up a free Google Business Profile if you have a physical location
Include your city or region in your keywords (e.g., "accredited meditation course Vancouver")
Connect with local wellness centers or practitioners for partnerships
5. Build Your Online Reputation
Google trusts websites that other reputable sites link to.
Here's how to start:
Get listed in the Wellness Canada Accreditation Directory
Write guest articles for wellness websites
Partner with other accredited schools for mutual promotion
6. Make Your Website Fast and Mobile-Friendly
Over 60% of searches happen on phones! Use Google's free PageSpeed Insights tool to check if your website loads quickly on all devices.
Real Success Story
A small wellness school targeted specific keywords like "accredited reiki certification Ontario," added proper website tags, and published helpful blogs about accreditation benefits. The result? Their website traffic more than doubled in just 4 months, and they started appearing on the first page of Google results.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Having a website that looks terrible on phones
Overusing keywords in an unnatural way
Not tracking your results to see what's working
Taking Action
Your accreditation already sets you apart. With these simple SEO steps, you can make sure potential students actually find you online. You don't need to implement everything at once — start with updating your page titles and creating one helpful blog post about the benefits of your accredited program.
