The Challenge

How to Rhino is a premier online platform offering comprehensive Rhino software courses for architects. They serve a highly specific niche: professionals and students bridging architectural creativity with technical 3D modeling proficiency.

The challenge? They underwent a comprehensive website redesign that altered their entire topical cluster structure. Several pages had URL changes risking loss of existing rankings. Worse, key pages contained only video content without text – invisible to search engines.
