The Challenges

We have faced lots of challenges in achieving SEO goals. One of the main difficulties was the high competition in the sports industry in Abu Dhabi. Many other sports academies & training centers were targeting similar keywords, making it harder for First Star to stand out in search results. Another challenge was the less optimized content on the website. The existing content was not fully optimized to the needs of parents and young athletes searching for specific sports programs. Which made it harder to attract the right audience.
Additionally the website was not fully mobile friendly & it had some slow loading pages which also affected the user experience and the search engine ranking. The academy also lacked a clear local SEO strategy, which meant they were not targeting Abu Dhabi based searches effectively. These challenges needed to be addressed to help First Star improve its online presence and achieve better visibility.
