## Challenge

Compton Junior Equestrians is a youth development nonprofit founded by the Compton Cowboys, running equestrian and horsemanship programs for young people in South LA. The organisation had earned significant press coverage from Vogue, GQ, and national outlets, and the opportunity was to convert that recognition into discoverable organic search results for families looking for youth programs, donation pathways, or volunteer opportunities.

The site was still early in its search journey, with clear room to build on-page SEO and a content programme around queries like youth equestrian program Compton or horseback riding lessons for kids Los Angeles. As a nonprofit with a modest marketing budget, organic search needed to carry the reach that paid advertising could not.

02

## Approach

Ran a technical audit to fix indexing gaps and add schema markup for NonprofitOrganization and Event. Restructured the site around the three audiences that matter most: parents, donors, and media.

Launched a content programme covering program stories, impact, and horsemanship education, with syndication to equestrian and nonprofit publications. Built off-page authority through nonprofit directory listings, local LA community citations, and contextual links from equestrian media.

Aligned the search experience to feed both family enrolment and donor enquiries.
