WHITEPAPER:

Demystifying SEO

FOR HIGHER EDUCATION

Students are increasingly turning to online resources to explore their higher education options.

Student recruitment has rapidly become more digitized – prospective students are spending less time on college tours and fairs and more time searching online for information on potential schools.

To stand out among thousands of colleges and universities, it’s essential to shift resources towards developing your online presence. Specifically, search engine optimization (SEO) is crucial for higher education institutions to ensure visibility and attract prospective students.

SEO might seem like a long-term investment, but by appearing in local searches for colleges and universities, you’ll see an increase in your university site’s traffic. Over time, these visits can turn into inquiries and enrollments.
