Turn high-intent searches into demo requests.

Our pricing is public and simple. Google Ads management is 10% of your ad budget with a $600/mo minimum — and no markup on ad spend, so your budget goes to Google in full. SEO is $50 per page, starting at 10 pages a month. Custom websites are eight one-time packages from $1,500 to $20,000+ (details at /websites). Setup is $0, everything is month to month with no contract, and if you're not happy with your first 30 days, you don't pay. Tell us about your platform and we'll send exact numbers in a free proposal within one business day.

If demos go quiet during the RFP, cost per qualified demo keeps climbing, or your pipeline still depends on conference booths and word of mouth, closing one of those gaps usually covers the fee. We handle the landing pages, paid and organic acquisition, and nurture email so your team can stay on the product. If demo requests are already growing and converting into signed contracts on their own, keep that engine running.

It owns every channel that produces demo requests and signed contracts. SearchPod builds your site and landing pages, runs high-intent Google Ads aimed at enrollment leaders evaluating your category, wins the comparison and AI-search queries buyers use to build their shortlist, and automates nurture email that carries a demo through the RFP and budget cycle — one team, one pipeline.

Look for proof they understand your buyer: do they know the difference between a VP of enrollment, an admissions director, and the IT team that reviews data security and SIS integration? Can they trace a demo request to a signed contract months later, not just a click? Then check ownership — your site, ad accounts, and data should stay in your name. Ask any candidate how they'd shorten your sales cycle; a vague answer tells you everything.

Paid campaigns usually produce the first demo requests within a few weeks. Rankings for category and comparison queries take months to build, then keep compounding. Nurture email starts protecting your pipeline through the RFP process from week one, so momentum continues while organic catches up.

We run the whole funnel — site, paid acquisition, SEO, AI search, and lifecycle email — so nothing falls between vendors, and we're judged on demo requests and signed contracts, not traffic. Pricing is public, contracts are month to month with $0 setup, and your site, ad accounts, analytics, and institution data stay yours from day one. If you're not satisfied in your first 30 days, you don't pay.

Our pricing is public — the pricing page shows the real starting price for every service — and your plan is scoped to your product and the institutions you sell to, whether that's small colleges or multi-campus university systems. Tell us about your platform and we'll send exact pricing in a free proposal within one business day, no obligation.

On demo requests, RFPs, and signed contracts — never vanity traffic. We optimize landing pages and CTAs for demo requests, then connect every one back to the campaign that produced it, so you can see your true cost per demo and which channel actually produces signed contracts.

Yes. For small and community colleges we optimize a faster, more direct evaluation path — clear proof, landing pages, and quick-answer content. For large university systems and multi-campus networks we support a longer, committee-driven RFP with content built for IT, security, and enrollment stakeholders. Most higher ed CRM companies sell to a mix of both, and we build the system around how your buyers actually decide.

We're not a compliance or IT service, but we know how much FERPA data privacy, integration with systems like Banner, Colleague, and Workday Student, and data security reviews matter to the committee evaluating your CRM — so we make sure that information is easy to find and clearly presented across your site and sales materials. Any specific compliance or security claims should still go through your own product and legal team.

Yes. Everything lives in accounts your company owns — site, brand assets, ad accounts, analytics, and institution data. We're month to month, and if you ever leave, it all simply stays where it is.

Most higher ed admissions CRM sites and landing pages go live in about 2–4 weeks. The pace mostly depends on how fast we get your product story, screenshots, and feedback — you'll have a clear timeline before we start.
