STEM & Robotics Enrichment Marketing Turn curious kids into enrolled students.

Our pricing is public, with the exact numbers listed on /pricing. Google Ads management is 10% of your monthly ad budget, with a $600/month minimum — your ad budget goes to Google, and we don't mark it up. SEO runs $50 per page per month, with a 10-page minimum. Custom websites are priced as eight one-time packages, $1,500 to $20,000+ (see /websites for the breakdown). There's no setup fee, no contract, and a 30-day guarantee — if you're not happy, you don't pay. Send us your center's age tracks, camp weeks, and competition-team details and we'll turn around real numbers within one business day.

It depends on where your leak actually is. Some centers have full camps and empty term classes; others have a strong open-house turnout that never converts to sign-ups; others have a PTA or school lead going quiet because nobody had time to call back. Any of those is a sign it's worth it — we take over the site, the ads, and the follow-up so you're not doing marketing between classes. If your terms, camps, and competition roster are already full with a waitlist behind them, you're probably fine without us.

Day to day, it's the person answering a trial-class or open-house inquiry within minutes, the campaigns running against robotics and STEM searches, the pages ranking in the map pack, and the review requests going out after a good tournament weekend. SearchPod does all of that as one team, with your enrolled-student count as the number we're actually managing toward — not clicks or impressions.

Look for one that's planned around a robotics or STEM calendar before — after-school terms, camp weeks, and a competition season that runs on its own tournament schedule, not the regular school year. Two things worth checking before you sign anything: do they actually own your ad account and site (or just manage it), and can they show you what a school-partnership outreach effort looks like. Most generalist agencies have never touched the second one.

Paid search is usually the fastest lever — trial-class and open-house inquiries can start coming in within the first couple of weeks, which is often enough lead time before a camp session or competition-team tryout date. Rankings and AI-search visibility take longer to build, typically 3–4 months before you're showing up consistently, with the organic lead flow itself picking up around month 6–8. If your busiest registration window is coming up, starting now gives both enough runway to be working by the time it hits.

Most agencies treat a STEM center like any other local business and hand you a generic local-SEO package. We've built specifically for the three-calendar problem — terms, camps, and a competition season with its own qualifying dates — and for the school-partnership side most marketing agencies don't even know exists. Your site, ad accounts, and family data are yours outright, pricing stays public, and nothing here is billed as a percentage markup on what you spend with Google.

Yes — and competition rosters need it as much as camp weeks do. Ahead of each registration window, we shift budget and email reminders toward whichever one is opening, run a waitlist so a cancelled spot doesn't just sit empty, and then move the plan back to filling regular term classes once that window closes.

Yes. Calls, form fills, and trial-class or open-house bookings all carry the source that produced them, all the way through to enrollment — so instead of a generic cost-per-click number, you can see what an enrolled student actually cost you in each of your three selling seasons.

Yes. We can build a page and outreach flow aimed at principals, after-school coordinators, and PTA boards, then keep the lead warm through follow-up while the school works through its budget and approval process — so a decision that drags on for a semester doesn't cost you the contract.

Yes. Whatever system your front desk already uses for registration — whether that's a scheduling platform, a spreadsheet, or something built in-house — bookings get logged there with their source attached, so a family that signed up from an ad doesn't turn into an untraceable walk-in in your records.

Yes. Nothing here is licensed back to us — the site, the brand, the ad accounts, and your families' data are your center's property from the day we build them, on a month-to-month basis with no setup fee. Walk away any time and everything walks out the door with you.

Most center sites are live within 2–4 weeks. The main variables are how many age-track and program pages we're building and how fast you can turn around content and feedback on your end. We'll set a real date early on, and we can time launch to land before your next registration push if that matters to you.
