The challenge

The Providence Campus serves adult students balancing work, family, and higher education. It needed its online marketing to bring in more of them:

  1. Organic ranking

    Improve the campus’s rankings so prospective students find it in search.

  2. Web visits and prospects

    Turn more searches into visits, and more visits into qualified prospects.

  3. Student enrollments

    Connect online marketing to the number that matters most: enrollments.

    Lead generation strategies and a pay-per-click campaign focused on increasing student enrollments.

    Monthly meetings to evaluate and improve the Internet Marketing Program and keep online marketing aligned with the University’s goals.
