Why most driving schools miss out
Driving school searches spike in summer and around school start — only top-ranked schools capture the seasonal surge.
Specialty searches (adult, anxiety, defensive driving, CDL) convert better than generic 'driving school' and are routinely missed.
Reviews from parents of passing teens are the strongest trust signal but most schools have weak review systems.
