1. The Context: Knowledge Should Have No Borders

AXA Engineers is a leading educational institution providing course materials, research updates, and enrollment information to aspiring engineers. In the competitive world of international education, accessibility is key.

⚠️ La Disconnessione

While engineering principles are universal, the language of instruction is often a barrier.

  • Il divario nella scoperta: A brilliant student in Tokyo searching for "Engineering Scholarship" in Japanese (工学奨学金) would never find AXA's English-only admissions page.
  • The Missed Enrollment: International students often hesitate to apply if they cannot fully understand the syllabus or prerequisites. By not speaking their language during the research phase, AXA was losing them to local competitors.

2. The Challenge: Academic SEO at Scale

Translating a college website is uniquely difficult because it involves complex academic terminology and constantly changing course data.

A. The "Course Catalog" Indexing Problem

AXA needed more than just a homepage translation. They needed their entire course catalog indexed.

⚠️ Il problema: Many translation tools use "Overlay" technology that Google can't see. This meant that while a user might see the page in Spanish, Google still indexed it as English.
✅ La necessità: They needed Rendering lato server so that searches for specific terms like "Civil Engineering Syllabus" in Spanish would land directly on the correct page.

B. The Terminology Risk

Academic integrity is non-negotiable.

⚠️ The Risk: Mistranslating "Bachelor of Science"o "Credit Hours" could confuse students and damage the institution's reputation.
✅ La soluzione: They needed a system with Glossary Memory to ensure that faculty titles and course names remained consistent across all 8 languages.

3. The Solution: Automated Academic Infrastructure

AXA Engineers integrated Infrastruttura SEO di MultiLipi to automate their global outreach.

AXA Engineers Multi-Language Website

4. The Data Deep Dive: 100% Traffic Growth

I risultati hanno convalidato il Approccio "infrastrutturale" over the "Widget" approach.

🌏 Unlocked: The Asian & Eastern European Markets

The traffic breakdown was startling. The demand wasn't coming from Western Europe; it was coming from high-growth engineering hubs.

🇯🇵 🇰🇷 East Asian Surge

Japanese (7,730 Views)e Korean (6,229 Views) became top traffic sources.

This suggests a massive, previously untapped demand for Western engineering education in these tech-forward nations.

🇵🇱 🇷🇴 Eastern European Connection

Polish (5,813 Views)e Rumeno traffic spiked.

Aligning with growing student mobility from these regions seeking quality engineering programs.

📊 Metric: 25,000+ Monthly Views

Traffico doubled from 12k to 25k+ in just 30 days.

💡 Perché è importante: This wasn't "viral" traffic. It was "Search" traffic. These are students actively looking for education. The 25% increase in applications proves that this traffic was high-quality and high-intent.

🎯 Metric: 39,849 Translation Requests

Quasi 40,000 course catalog browsing requests from prospective students.

🔥 The Engagement Signal: Students didn't just land on the homepage—they explored deeply. They read course descriptions, prerequisites, and faculty bios. This level of engagement indicates serious consideration, not casual browsing.

5. Preparazione al futuro: il prossimo salto (GEO)

AXA Engineers has achieved this doubling of traffic purely through SEO tradizionale (Indexing, Hreflang, Keywords).

Non hanno nemmeno ancora attivato GEO

Immagina il soffitto quando lo fanno.

Right now, they are winning on Google. But with their course data already structured by MultiLipi, they are perfectly positioned to turn on Ottimizzazione LLM .

🎓 The Future State:

This would structure their syllabus and faculty data into Knowledge Graph Entities, allowing them to become the cited authority when a student asks ChatGPT: "Which colleges offer Mechanical Engineering degrees for international students?"

AXA Engineers won the Search battle. They are already armed for the AI war.

AXA Engineers proved that education has no borders if you build the right infrastructure. By simply making their courses readable to Google in 8 languages, they doubled their traffic and increased international applications by 25%. They didn't just translate a website; they exported their mission.

Stop hiding your courses from the world.
