Why Higher Education Institutions Need SEO
Tracking users throughout your marketing funnel begins with attracting them in the first place.
First, you’ll need to understand how your audiences are interacting with your site and compare that to your institutional strategy. From there, you’ll need to put together a strategy to widen your reach to let them find all of the great services you provide.
Then begins the process of optimizing your content and your website, tracking progress, and optimizing some more. You’ll be able to check in on your analytics at any point with our real-time, user-friendly dashboards and report progress to anyone who needs to know.
Together, we’ll continue to monitor progress and identify areas for improvement so your site works as an effective conversion tool.
Following proper search engine optimization principles can help future-proof your content.

Our approach to Higher Education SEO
SEO & Analytics Audit
Once we run an audit to understand your analytics, we will collaborate with your team to define custom goals and events that align with your strategy. This baseline serves as the cornerstone for allowing us to track progress moving forward.
Keyword Research
By understanding which keywords you and your competitors rank for, we’ll be able to map keywords to the most optimal pages for you. This will help you increase organic search users — the most engaged audience you can find.
SEO & Analytics Dashboards
With user-friendly, industry-leading tools such as Looker Studio and SEMRush, you’ll be able to check in on your analytics at any point with our real-time dashboards.
Cross-Team Collaboration
We know that site tracking, analytics, and SEO don’t live in a vacuum. With our internal content, development, and design teams, we can help you create an experience that will keep users coming back for more.
