Channels that work

Content ideas

• Student success stories (with consent)
• Campus or classroom tours
• Exam tips and timetables

Mistakes to avoid

• Ignoring parents as an audience

What to measure

• Cost per enquiry and per admission
• Demo class attendance
• Enquiry-to-admission rate
• Response time

Quick checklist before you start

• Clear goal and budget for the next three months
• Weekly review of results and search terms
