Indigenous Leadership Academy (ILA): Search Optimization

The Indigenous Leadership Academy (ILA) is a unique program housed within the American Indian Policy Institute (AIPI). It helps grow leaders in Indigenous communities through a curriculum grounded in traditional values and community-based approaches. 


This year, ILA launched two new cohorts—one focused on Indigenous health and the other on education. To reach the right audience, we created a search engine optimization (SEO) strategy across the website, blog, and social media to help professionals looking for leadership opportunities find the program online.

ILA Search Engine Optimization

The campaign led to ILA’s top-performing content for three months in a row. Without spending anything on ads, over 29,000 people saw information about the program on social media and 51% clicked through to visit the website. ILA also saw a 4% increase in social media followers.

Search-optimized blog posts performed 10 times better than previous ones, bringing in hundreds more views. In the end, the number of program applicants doubled compared to earlier cohorts.
