01 / What we’ve built

00:35—01:10

Independence creates
room to grow.

Separating AP Education from shared Ackerman Pierce structures gave AP a clearer digital identity, more control, and a foundation shaped around its own business.

The starting point

Shared structures.
Connected dependencies.

Website, database, recruitment connections and measurement needed their own AP focus.

The foundation now

AP’s platform.
AP’s priorities.

  • ✓
    Independent digital structuresWebsite/database separation and dedicated recruitment infrastructure.
  • ✓
    AP-specific search & measurementSearch Console, Rank Math and analytics setup focused on AP.
  • ✓
    A platform ready for the next phaseConnect services, evidence, jobs and meaningful business actions.

The value: AP can now build and measure around its own audiences.

02 / The momentum is visible

01:10—02:05

02:05—02:50

to be discovered.

04:45—05:25

Progress you can see.
Value you can measure.

The next question is commercial: which searches, pages and journeys create useful enquiries and suitable tutor applications?
