About the project

BTK53 approached radiantweb with a strong offline reputation but a limited digital presence that wasn’t reflecting the quality or credibility of the driving school. Their previous website had minimal content, lacked trust-building elements, and offered no clear user journey for prospective learners exploring lesson options. With competition increasing and prospective students turning to Google to find a driving instructor, BTK53 needed a modern, informative platform capable of attracting learners, building confidence, and supporting their growing advertising efforts.

Key actions
  • Website rebuild & UX improvements – Delivered a modern, responsive website designed to help learners compare packages, explore lesson details, and enquire effortlessly.
  • Trust-building content – Added real reviews, testimonials, instructor insights, and success stories to strengthen credibility and reassure prospective students.
  • PPC strategy & management – Implemented Google Ads campaigns targeting high-intent local keywords to drive qualified traffic and consistent enquiries.
  • Content development – Created service pages, pricing information, and educational resources (including tips, guides, and K53 route maps) to improve clarity and organic search visibility.
  • Quick-connect communication – Integrated WhatsApp and structured enquiry forms to simplify initial contact and reduce admin time for the business.

Our solution

We rebuilt the BTK53 website on WordPress with a clear focus on ease of use, transparency, and enquiry conversion. The new design introduced simple navigation, structured lesson packages, clear pricing information, and multiple quick-connect touchpoints including WhatsApp and guided enquiry forms. To reinforce trust and authenticity, we embedded testimonials, reviews, real student stories, and proof of instructor experience throughout the site.
Alongside the rebuild, we launched a targeted Google Ads strategy focused on high-intent search terms such as “driving lessons Cape Town”, “K53 driving school”, and geographic variants matched to BTK53’s service area. The PPC campaigns were crafted to drive qualified traffic directly to lesson package pages and booking touchpoints.
The combined impact of the new website and PPC campaigns created a scalable and measurable acquisition engine that consistently brings BTK53 into view for prospective learners.

The outcome

Since launching the new website and PPC strategy at the end of May 2025, BTK53 has experienced significant growth in online engagement and visibility. Active users increased by 6.6k%, and new users by 6.7k%, demonstrating a substantial rise in prospective learners discovering and interacting with the brand online. Engagement deepened too, with a 3.3k% increase in event activity, showing higher interest in lesson details, pricing, and booking pathways.

Service-focused pages saw very strong performance, including the Driving School Cape Town page (1.4k active users) and the Lesson Packages & Pricing page (1.1k active users), indicating that visitors were finding relevant content and exploring their options more confidently. The redesign also helped increase time on site, with visitors spending an average of 1m18s engaging with content.

The business impact was immediate. As Todd, BTK53’s founder, noted, the “site rebuild along with content creation paid for itself in 2 months,” reflecting how quickly the combined website and advertising strategy began generating measurable value. Together, the enhanced website experience, improved content structure, and targeted PPC campaigns transformed BTK53’s digital presence and positioned the driving school for sustainable, ongoing growth while reducing the operational load on the team.
