How We Approach Higher Education Content Marketing

We plan and produce program pages and student stories around the questions prospective students actually ask and the searches that lead to enrollments. We build the topic plan, create the content, and optimize it to rank and convert. We measure content by the traffic and enrollments it produces.

The Metrics We Focus On

We measure content marketing by the results that affect your business rather than vanity metrics like impressions and reach. These are the metrics we focus on:

  • Organic traffic: The visitors your content brings from search.
  • Keyword rankings: Where your content ranks for the searches that matter.
  • Conversions from content: The number of enrollments your content produces.
  • Engagement: How prospective students interact with and share your content.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much content do we need?

It depends on your goals and market. We focus on a consistent, quality schedule built around the topics that lead to enrollments, rather than volume for its own sake.

Who creates the content?

Our team plans and produces the content, and we work with you so it reflects your expertise and voice.

How much does higher education content marketing cost?

It depends on your goals and scope. After we review your current marketing, we put together a plan and pricing based on your priorities rather than a fixed package.

Do we need to be located near you?

No. We are based in Wake Forest and Raleigh, North Carolina, and we work with clients across the country. Most communication happens by call, email, and video.

Do we keep ownership of our accounts and work?

Yes. You own your website, content, and all advertising and analytics accounts. We set everything up in your name.
