The Funnel

A full-funnel enrollment strategy.

Every prospective student follows a journey. We meet them at each stage with the right message, on the right channel, at the right time.

01

Awareness

Prospective students discover your institution through SEO, paid media, and social campaigns tailored to education audiences. We target program-specific keywords and demographics to reach the right students at the right time.

02

Interest

Engaging content, virtual campus tours, and multi-platform retargeting nurture curiosity and keep your programs top-of-mind during the critical research and comparison phase.

03

Application

Frictionless landing pages, persuasive student testimonials, and smart form design turn casual interest into completed applications. We reduce drop-off at every step of the process.

04

Enrollment

Automated email sequences, personalized follow-ups, and deadline reminders convert accepted students into enrolled ones. We close the gap between acceptance and deposit.

Channels

How To Choose

How to choose an education marketing agency.

Not every agency understands enrollment. Here is what to check before you sign anything.

01 · Ask to see it

Real enrollment experience, not just marketing experience

A prospective student's decision stretches over weeks or months, moves through an admissions office, and ends in a deposit, not a checkout page. That funnel is different from retail or local services. Ask any agency you are considering to show a real campaign built for a school, college, or program, not a slide of unrelated client logos. If they cannot point to actual enrollment work, they are learning on your budget.

02 · Know the split

Transparent pricing you can check

Some agencies quietly keep part of your ad budget on top of their management fee, so you never really know how much of your money reaches Google. Ask exactly what goes to media and what goes to the agency. Our management fee is a flat 10% of your ad budget, with a $600 per month minimum, and your full ad budget goes to Google with no markup.

03 · Cycles shift fast

No long-term contracts

Application volume moves with demographics, deadlines, and competition from other schools, sometimes from one cycle to the next. A 12-month contract locks you in even if a campaign underperforms mid-cycle. Work with an agency that has to earn your business every month. We run month-to-month, with a 30-day guarantee. If the first 30 days do not show real work and real results, that month is free.

04 · Beyond clicks

Reporting tied to applications, not clicks

Impressions and click-through rates do not fill a classroom. What matters is cost per application and cost per enrolled student. Ask to see a sample report before you sign, and make sure it ties back to real admissions numbers instead of vanity metrics dressed up as progress.

05 · Protect your history

You own your accounts and your data

Some agencies build your Google Ads account, tracking pixel, and analytics under their own login. If you switch agencies later, you can lose years of enrollment-season data that helps predict next year's demand. Make sure every account is created in your institution's name from day one, so the history stays yours no matter who manages it.

Pricing

What education marketing costs.

Every plan is month-to-month with no long-term contracts and no setup fees. If the first 30 days do not show real work and real results, that month is free.

Google Ads

Management is a flat 10% of your monthly ad budget, with a $600 per month minimum. Your ad budget goes to Google in full. We never mark it up. Full pricing details at /google-ads.

SEO

SEO is $50 per page per month, with a 10-page minimum, so plans start around $500 per month. Pages can cover programs, campuses, or departments, whatever prospective students are actually searching for. Full pricing details at /seo.

Website

Custom websites are one-time projects, not subscriptions, priced from $1,500 to $20,000 or more depending on scope. No setup fees. See sample builds at /websites.
