Parents and students start researching schools, colleges and coaching centres months before admissions open. They search on Google, check reviews, watch videos, follow institutions on Instagram and ask questions on WhatsApp. Institutions that show up consistently during this research period get more enquiries and campus visits.
Plan by the admission calendar
| Phase | When | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Awareness | 3–4 months before admissions | Instagram, YouTube and Facebook content; SEO; Google Business Profile updates |
| Consideration | 1–2 months before | Google Ads on admission searches, open-house events, testimonial videos |
| Admission window | During admissions | Retargeting ads, WhatsApp follow-ups, reminders of deadlines |
| After admissions | Rest of the year | Events, achievements and results to build next year’s reputation |
Channels that work for education
Local SEO and Google Maps
Most parents search locally: “CBSE schools near Vidyaranyapura”, “PU colleges in Rajajinagar”, “NEET coaching near Mathikere”. A complete Google Business Profile, reviews from parents and location-specific pages on your website are essential.
Google Ads
Targeted ads on admission and course searches within a realistic travel radius, sending clicks to an admission landing page with an enquiry form.
Instagram, Facebook and YouTube
Campus tours, classroom moments, results, toppers’ stories, events and teacher introductions. Short videos build trust quickly.
Quick replies to enquiries, brochure sharing, open-house invitations and deadline reminders.
Measure enquiries and admissions
Track every enquiry from source to admission, so next year’s budget goes to the channels that actually filled seats. Admission management software makes this easy.
