How is Higher Education Marketing Unique?
The higher education industry is unique when it comes to digital marketing in a number of different ways:
High level of personalization. To appeal to prospective students, it is imperative to show that you understand both their situation and emotional needs while offering a tailored solution just for them.
SERP changes. Search Engine Results Pages change on a frequent basis for education related queries with traffic being sent via maps, carousels and different knowledge panels.
The importance of E-A-T: This stands for Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness. In order for content to rank and to build trust, you must show credentials that backup your claims and information.
SEO
Search engine optimization (SEO) is a fundamental core to digital marketing. It’s a strategic, organic effort that focuses on all components of your website – both on-page (content) and off-page (technical SEO).
Content Marketing
Content is King. That said, even good content by itself just isn’t enough anymore. You need unique, amazing, shouts-out-loud content, with the right words, posted on the right places, tagged and coded in the right ways, promoted at the right time…on all the right channels.
Paid Media
Paid media is yet another way to expand brand reach, gain exposure, increase traffic and earn clicks through PPC and paid social. It can be a highly effective way to promote your services and products while seeing high ROI.
Web Development
Web development is the process of building, creating and maintaining a website for use on the internet. At NextLeft, we specifically focus on front end development, meaning that we work on the visual portion of the website that users interact with when they visit your site.
Conversion Rate Optimization
Conversion rate optimization (CRO) is the process of increasing the percentage of users who perform a desired action on your website. It is the perfect complement to traffic brought in by SEO and PPC.
Local SEO
From Google My Business to location specific pages, local SEO is essential to showing up for users in your city, state, or region.
