Pay-Per-Click Advertising For Higher Education
Reach students with smart, strategic online PPC campaigns.
Marketing for higher education has changed from what it once was. Phone calls and paper requests for information and class catalogs have been replaced by websites, instant PDF downloads, chatbots and the constant need to be online and ready for anything.
When it comes to pay per click for higher education, it’s not just paying money to put an advertisement online – it’s about understanding who your ideal audience is and placing ads in front of those specific users and students exactly where they spend their time online.
Planning And Audience Targeting
PPC campaigns can be used to achieve many different goals. You can increase the general awareness of your university or a specific program to grow your brand recognition. Or you can directly target users who previously visited your site but didn’t complete an action, like completing a form.
It’s essential to know what the goal of your campaigns are and who your ideal audience is before we write or design ads for them. Planning also helps determine and shape the budget around target cost per lead and any priority programs for your school or institution. We work directly with your marketing team to determine overall objectives and goals to so that our PPC plan fulfills your school’s enrollment targets.
We’ll also want to review your site to determine what pages on your site are ready to convert user traffic. There’s no point in flooding your site with traffic, if it’s not ready to convert it.
