EdTech Marketing Agency Turn one search into trials, pilots & renewals.
Two funnels, one brand: a fast trial-to-subscriber path for parents and adult learners, and a slower pilot-to-contract path for teachers, curriculum directors, and IT.
- Campaigns aimed at whichever buyer is actually evaluating — a parent at home or a committee behind an RFP
- Landing pages that make starting a trial or requesting a pilot a one-click decision, not a scavenger hunt
- Every trial and pilot traced to its source, so your real cost is known before the next semester's budget locks
Prefer to talk? (519) 930-8818 — a strategist, not a sales script.

Why Growth Stalls
Why great edtech still runs out of pipeline.
A product learners love won't fill an RFP shortlist or a trial funnel on its own.
-
One homepage is trying to sell three different people
A parent wants a price and a trial button in the first screen. A teacher wants to see the product before recommending it.
-
Every August your cost per trial jumps, and nobody knows why
The same “best app for [grade]” terms get bid up every back-to-school season and again every January when parents make New Year resolutions about tutoring.
-
A six-week pilot ends and the renewal conversation never happens
A teacher runs your product with one class, the pilot window closes, and nobody follows up before the district locks its budget the following spring.
-
You're absent from the searches that build the shortlist
Parents check Common Sense Education ratings and App Store star counts before downloading anything.

Organic & Marketplace Visibility
Organic & marketplace visibility. Show up wherever this category actually gets researched.
A parent scrolls App Store star ratings and a mommy-blog roundup; a curriculum director opens a comparison spreadsheet and asks an AI assistant what else is out there.
- Rankings for “best [category] for [grade]” searches and district RFP comparison pages
- Grade-level and subject-specific landing pages built for the exact parent search
- A stronger App Store, Google Play & G2/Capterra footprint so you're the one that gets clicked
High-Intent Visibility
The searches that decide which edtech tool gets picked.
A parent comparing apps at night and a curriculum director prepping an RFP by day both start the same way — a search, on Google or inside an AI assistant.

When a parent or teacher asks ChatGPT or Gemini what to use, we work to make your platform the answer.
- “What's the best reading app for a 2nd grader who's behind grade level?”
- “Recommend an LMS for a mid-size school district.”
- “What are the best alternatives to [competitor]?”
- “Which tutoring platform is best for middle-school math?”

Lifecycle Email
Lifecycle email for edtech. Turn free trials & pilots into renewals.
The trial that already started and the pilot already running are your cheapest path to growth.
- Onboarding flows that get a brand-new user to first value inside the first session
- Activation nudges timed to land before a free trial or classroom pilot actually expires
- Renewal and upgrade sequences that turn a returning learner into a paid subscriber or signed license
-

Renewal
Proof, not promises
Every trial, pilot & renewal, traced back to where it started.
One view shows which campaign, keyword, or page produced each trial and pilot.
Pipeline & Signups Turn free-trial signups into real pipeline
Every trial, demo, and pilot request gets captured, tagged by source.
Every signup tagged by real source
Know whether a trial came from a parent's late-night Google search, a Meta ad, or a district doing RFP research.
Synced to your CRM automatically
Trial signups, demo requests, and pilot approvals land in HubSpot or Salesforce tagged by buyer type the moment they happen, so nobody on your sales team is chasing a spreadsheet in September.
Cost per Trial & LTV See your real cost per trial and per license
Every renewed subscriber and every signed district contract gets traced back to the trial or pilot.
True cost, this semester
Every ad dollar is tied to the signups it actually produced, so you always know what a trial or pilot currently costs to win.
LTV broken out by channel
Google, Meta, and organic are tracked separately, so you can tell whether paid search or organic content is bringing the parents and districts who stick around, not just the ones who sign up once.
Activation & Renewal Lift your trial-to-renewal rate
Most edtech revenue disappears between a signup and a renewal, not before it.
Activation, tracked step by step
See how many trial signups finish a first lesson or run a pilot assignment, where the drop-off actually happens, and which onboarding email gets a parent or teacher to that first real result.
Every trial followed to its outcome
Subscribed, renewed, or lapsed — every trial and pilot gets followed all the way there, so you know which campaigns and which nurture emails actually produce a renewal instead of a one-time signup.

Straight answers
Marketing for edtech, without the mystery
The numbers are the same whether you're running a consumer trial funnel or a district pilot pipeline. Google Ads management is 10% of your monthly ad budget, with a $600/month minimum and no markup added on top of what you spend with Google directly. SEO is $50 per page per month, with a 10-page minimum. A custom site is one of eight one-time packages between $1,500 and $20,000+ (full breakdown at /websites). There's no setup fee, everything runs month to month, and the first 30 days are covered by our guarantee — if nothing moves, you don't pay for them. Tell us about your platform and we'll send real numbers back within one business day.
Three signs it's worth it: your cost per trial keeps rising every August without you knowing which campaign is to blame, a pilot ends and nobody follows up before the renewal window closes, or most of your signups still trace back to an ISTE booth or a teacher forwarding your app to a friend. We take the landing pages, paid and organic acquisition, and onboarding and renewal email off your plate so your team stays on the product and the curriculum. If trials are converting and pilots are renewing without help, you don't need us yet.
It handles every channel between a search and a signed-up learner: building the site and landing pages, running Google and Meta campaigns aimed at parents, teachers, or district buyers, ranking your platform for the comparison and vendor-alternative searches that build an RFP shortlist, and automating the onboarding and renewal email that keeps a pilot from quietly lapsing at budget time.
Ask whether they treat a parent's 14-day free trial and a district's semester-long classroom pilot as the two different funnels they are — one converts on a credit card, the other needs board approval. Ask if they can trace a signup back to its real acquisition cost instead of just a click, and whether they already know why a clean COPPA/FERPA page matters to a district IT reviewer. Then confirm your site, ad accounts, and student data stay registered in your company's name, not theirs.
Paid campaigns usually produce the first trial or demo requests within a few weeks. Rankings for “best [category] for [grade/subject]” and vendor-comparison searches take three to four months to build, then keep compounding. Institutional sales move on the district's own fiscal calendar — a pilot that starts in October may not turn into a signed license until the following school year, once next year's budget is set. Lifecycle email starts lifting trial activation from week one, so early results don't depend on any single channel.
Most agencies pick a lane — consumer growth marketing or enterprise SaaS demand gen — and stretch it to cover edtech's two buying motions at once. We build both funnels on purpose, get measured on trials, pilots, and renewals rather than sessions, and post pricing publicly instead of quoting behind a form. Contracts run month to month, and your site, ad accounts, analytics, and learner data stay registered to your company from the first day.
Starting prices are the ones posted on our pricing page and they don't move in a sales call. What changes is scope — a self-serve tutoring app running a 14-day trial needs a different plan than a platform selling three-year district contracts. Tell us which one describes you, or if it's both, and we'll send exact numbers within one business day.
Trials, demos, pilots, and the renewals that follow — sessions that never convert are a line item, not a result. We build every landing page and CTA around getting someone to actually start, then trace each trial or pilot back to the campaign, keyword, or page that produced it, so you know your real cost to acquire one and which channel is actually renewing, not just clicking.
Yes, and most edtech companies need both run properly rather than one funnel stretched to cover the other. On the consumer side, we build the trial-to-subscriber path: landing pages, a free trial or freemium tier, and activation email aimed at parents and adult learners. On the institutional side, we build pipeline for teachers, curriculum directors, and IT — comparison and evidence-tier content, RFP-ready pages, and campaigns timed to when a district actually sets its budget instead of an impulse click.
We don't draft your compliance language — that stays with your own counsel — but we know a parent starting a free trial and a district IT reviewer approving a classroom pilot both go looking for the same things first: a clear privacy policy, a plain-language data-handling page, and your COPPA/FERPA and state student-privacy posture. We make sure those pages exist, link cleanly from your site and sales materials, and read like they were written for a human instead of a lawyer.
Yes. Your site, brand assets, App Store and Google Play developer accounts, ad accounts, analytics, and every parent, teacher, and learner record stay in accounts your company controls. We work month to month, so if you ever move on, none of it moves with us.
Yes. We work inside HubSpot or Salesforce for your sales pipeline and connect to whatever LMS or SIS integrations your product already supports — LTI, and rostering or single sign-on through Clever, ClassLink, or Google Classroom — so trial signups, demo requests, and pilot approvals land in your systems with clean attribution from first click to signed contract.
