JPL's Ascent: Mastering Digital & Scaling Success with a Trusted Partner.
Discover how our ongoing 4+ year partnership with JPL Language Tutorial Center revolutionized their digital presence—building a lead-generating website, automating key processes, and attracting prestigious clients and partners across the Philippines.
Meet JPL Language Tutorial Center, opening worlds through effective and engaging language courses for everyone
JPL Language Tutorial Center is an established language tutorial institution in the Philippines, passionately dedicated to breaking down communication barriers through expert language education. They offer a comprehensive suite of programs catering to a wide array of needs: from parents seeking to enrich their children’s linguistic horizons, to forward-thinking companies requiring tailor-fit language training for employees engaging with international partners in critical languages like Chinese, Spanish, and Japanese. With an unwavering commitment to quality instruction and student success, JPL empowers both individuals and organizations across the Philippines to connect, communicate, and thrive in an increasingly globalized world.
The Challenge:
A Stagnant Web Presence & Untapped Digital Growth Potential
In the latter part of 2020, JPL Language Tutorial Center encountered a critical operational challenge: their existing web developer unexpectedly announced the cessation of their support services. This left the business owner, who candidly admitted to having no prior website management experience, in a risky position. Their then website was not only difficult to maintain but also critically underperforming—it wasn’t optimized for search engines, failed to generate leads effectively, and didn’t adequately cater to their diverse clientele of retail learners and corporate entities. JPL urgently needed more than just a website fix; they required a strategic digital partner to assess their broader marketing needs, develop a robust, future-proof plan, and meticulously guide its implementation to unlock their true growth potential in the Philippine market.
Our Solution:
A Multi-Year Strategic Partnership Delivering Comprehensive Digital Transformation and Empowerment
Our enduring partnership with JPL Language Tutorial Center, beginning in late 2020 and thriving to this day, has been a journey of comprehensive digital transformation and empowerment. GSB designed and implemented a multifaceted suite of integrated solutions tailored to JPL’s unique goals:




Strategic Website Rebuild
We architected and developed a brand new, marketing-driven website from scratch. This platform was engineered to effectively showcase their diverse programs, compelling success stories, rich company history (establishing authenticity and credibility), and easy-to-find contact details. Key innovations included:
- Targeted Onboarding Funnels: Three prominent calls-to-action in the header (“Inquire about tutorial classes,” “Ask for a Corporate Package or Partnership Proposal,” and “Apply as a language teacher”) strategically channel visitors according to JPL’s primary business objectives.
- Automated Inquiry & Enrollment Systems: We implemented smart forms that capture detailed inquiry information (language desired, proficiency level, available hours, online/F2F preference, preferred schedule, etc.), triggering automated notifications to both JPL and the prospective client for swift follow-up. A secure secondary form facilitates seamless proof of payment uploads and agreement to terms and conditions.
- Authentic Social Proof Integration: A dedicated testimonials page dynamically links to genuine customer reviews on JPL’s Facebook and YouTube channels, significantly boosting credibility.
Multi-Channel Lead Generation Strategies
Beyond the website’s organic capabilities, we’ve executed targeted lead generation initiatives, including cold email drip campaigns for potential corporate clients, and effective Meta (Facebook) Messenger and lead ad campaigns.
Enhanced Communication & Professionalism
We established a robust SMS platform for efficient class notifications (eliminating reliance on personal phone numbers) and transitioned JPL to Google Workspace for professional email correspondence, Google Meet class hosting, and convenient recording capabilities.
Branding & Content Support
To ensure brand consistency and engagement, we designed professional course certificates and versatile social media post templates.
Curriculum Enhancement & Value-Added Training
In 2021, we collaborated with a Licensed Teacher to review and enhance elements of JPL’s learning plans. Furthermore, we delivered an impactful workshop, “Digital Marketing Secrets and Hacks of Small Businesses who have proven that it works!” directly to JPL’s own students, empowering them with valuable digital literacy skills.
Continuous Website Maintenance & Optimization
Our partnership includes ongoing website maintenance, regular updates, and strategic content recalibration to ensure jpltutorials.com remains effective, secure, and aligned with JPL’s evolving needs.
The Results: Thousands Enrolled, Premier Corporate Partnerships & A Thriving Digital Hub
Our enduring partnership with GreenDev over the past 5 years is a powerful testament to the transformative impact of a strategic, collaborative, and continuously optimized digital marketing approach. The results speak for themselves:
Massive Enrollment Growth via a Lead-Generating Website`
The new, strategically designed website has become JPL's primary engine for client acquisition and onboarding, successfully facilitating the enrollment of more than 5,000 students to date.
Significant B2B Client Acquisition & Revenue Growth
The website’s targeted corporate inquiry features, coupled with our dedicated lead generation campaigns, have resulted in countless closed deals with B2B clients, establishing a strong and consistent corporate revenue stream.
Substantial Social Media Expansion & Engagement

JPL's enhanced, professional, and consistent digital presence has led to them being discovered by and forging valuable partnerships with major national and multinational organizations, including McDonald's, Merz, Toyota, Continental Tires, and FilBrit International Academy, among others.
Streamlined Operations & Enhanced Brand Professionalism
The implementation of automated inquiry and payment processes, alongside professional Google Workspace integration for email and an SMS platform for notifications, has significantly improved operational efficiency, client communication, and overall brand perception.
Empowered Clientele & Extended Value Proposition
The digital marketing workshop delivered to JPL's own students provided them with actionable, real-world skills, reflecting JPL's commitment to holistic learner development and adding unique value to their offerings.
A Sustained, Reliable Digital Engine for Growth

Her patience and professionalism are highly commendable, especially during our seminar where we encountered several on-the-spot changes. Despite these challenges, she was able to adapt quickly and handle the situation with grace, showing her flexibility and dedication as a speaker. What stood out most was her ability to deliver meaningful and relevant insights even with the limited time given. She ensured that the participants not only understood but also absorbed the key points of her talk. Her clarity, confidence, and engaging delivery made the session both informative and impactful. Overall, Ma’am Gretchen is an excellent speaker. She has the remarkable ability to connect with her audience while ensuring that her message is clear and valuable. Working with her was a privilege, and I would gladly recommend her to any future event or engagement. Danpaul MahinayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Gretchen for the crash course "From Purpose to Profitability through Digital Marketing". Indeed, it was a practical learning of digital marketing driven by a deep sense of purpose beyond the profit motive. I'm excited to apply all my learnings.👌 Kathleen Reverente (Kate)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you, Gretchen and the rest of the team for an enjoyable learning experience. I can easily apply all the concepts that I learn from this. As a newbie in digital marketing, I appreciate how the worksheets provided me with a starting point for Tito Steef. I will always keep this in mind: P.E.R.A.: Plan-Execute-Review-Assign. If there are future deep dive classes, I will sign up again! pierre marmonierTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The assistance of Gretchen and her team has been essentials for us over the past years Jon DiomampoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s awesome working with Gretchen and the GSB team! You guys displayed remarkable patience in conversing with us, listening to our stories on what we’re doing and how we’re doing things in line with our spiritual family’s mission of making disciples. It was a delight how the baselining process was done. You guys managed the project extremely well - handled the work breakdown systematically and efficiently phased things in a workable timeline. And, I appreciate so much the time given for user experience and feedback. And making yourselves available for tech support as we move towards adoption of the Mission Machine (thank you coining this as well!) for use by our “feasters” in the Feast Ortigas District of the Light of Jesus Family community. On behalf of our District Head - Bro Obet Cabrillas, thank you and great job GSB! Truly you are GSB - God’s Special Blessing to our community! God bless all of you! Jon Diomampo Feast Builder, The Feast Timog Discipleship Coordinator, Feast Ortigas District Light of Jesus Family Leonard CoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Listens to customers. Responsive to feedback. Works fast. Produces results. What more could you ask for? Melissa MoranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was both a privilege and a pleasure partnering with Gretchen Veran of Get Smarter and Better (GSB) during our KLIK Mobile Education (KLIKme) Pilot Program in 2023-2025. As KLIKme serves out-of-school youth and adults in 9 partner-communities in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, guiding our learners to successfully complete the DepEd ALS Program is only an interim goal. They need to start earning soonest. So we were delighted to discover GSB! Through the 12-session online course on Digital Marketing that Gretchen designed for KLIKme, over 50 of our learners gained immediate practice with tools they could apply to their own products and services or offer to potential clients. Beyond providing skills training, however, Gretchen's sessions offered our learners a lot more. Each weeknight class provided fun interaction, a helpful sounding board for questions, and genuinely personal concern and encouragement in an area that was surely intimidating to former HS dropouts who never dreamed they could use their gadgets to create something useful -- and possibly earn from it! For this, we at KLIKme are truly grateful to Gretchen and GSB. Your service is clearly not just about sharing digital-age knowhow. It is about extending hope. Till our next collaboration! Melissa Y. Moran / COO & Content Director KLIK Mobile Education Andreis CateringTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you so much Ms. Gretchen for building our website. They were professional, responsive, and understood our needs perfectly. We highly recommend Get Smarter and Better to anyone looking to create a professional and effective website for their business. God bless you, Ms. Gretchen! More power!Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 11 reviews
