Making the Grade in Search
Founded in 1904, Generations College, formerly MacCormac College, is Illinois’ oldest fully accredited, private nonprofit institution.
Audience
Prospective students seeking career-focused associate and bachelor’s degree programs in fields such as business, court reporting, paralegal studies, and criminal justice.
Overall Challenge
MacCormac College underwent a full rebrand to become Generations College, including a migration from MacCormac.edu to Generations.edu. Launching a new brand and domain put the college’s hard-earned SEO equity at risk, making it critical to preserve organic visibility through the transition.

“We’ve seen increases across the board for our different programs due to SEO. Straight North is always willing to think of new ideas and be flexible to our changes.”

Business Impacts
Following the rebrand, Generations College maintained its search momentum and achieved a 57% increase in organic traffic and a 94% increase in organic leads across key programs, including Court Reporting, Paralegal Studies, and Criminal Justice.
