Account & Campaign Architecture

We structure Google, Microsoft, and Meta Ads accounts around intent – brand, program, competitor, and category – to keep budgets aligned with enrollment goals. Clean naming, shared negatives, and query-level controls make scaling up or pausing programs simple for your team.

Keyword & Audience Strategy

We map queries to the decision journey: informational (“best coding bootcamp”), evaluative (“MBA online cost”), and branded. This includes negative keyword governance, audience layering (in-market, custom segments), and search term reviews to keep cost per lead on target for education programs.

Ad Creative & Experimentation

We build responsive search ads, callouts, sitelinks, and program-specific hooks that reflect accreditation, outcomes, and start dates. Controlled A/B tests rotate headlines, offers, and formats; losers are cut quickly so budget backs proven messages.

Landing Page & CRO for Enrollment

We align page copy with ad promises, reduce form friction, and use cues that matter to prospects – tuition info, start dates, outcomes, and FAQs. We run focused tests on form length, social proof, and page speed; call tracking and session recording highlight real drop-off points.

Analytics, Conversion Tracking & Attribution

We set up GA4 events, offline conversion imports from HubSpot/Salesforce, and call tracking so paid media is judged on qualified leads and enrollments, not clicks. UTM governance and consent-aware tagging keep reports consistent across Looker Studio and BI tools.

Bid & Budget Management

We pick bid strategies (tCPA, tROAS) by funnel stage, add conversion value rules for high-priority programs, and pace spend by campus, region, or cohort. Dayparting, device targets, and geo splits help contain CPL during peak search windows.

Local & Multi-Campus Targeting

We segment by radius, ZIP, or DMA for on-site programs and adjust bids with local signals like commute time and class schedules. For online programs, we use regional demand data to prioritize states with better lead quality and lower acquisition costs.

How We Bring Value To Your Business

We focus on clear intake goals, disciplined execution, and data you can act on – so paid media supports enrollment, not just clicks.

  • 1

    Lower Cost per Qualified Inquiry

    We separate high-intent search from broad exploration, tighten negatives, and funnel spend to queries that convert. Budgets move toward programs, geos, and devices that consistently drive qualified forms and calls.

  • 2

    Faster Feedback Loops

    Weekly test plans ship small, controlled changes across ads, keywords, and landing pages. You see what moved CPL and qualified rate – then we double down and cut what didn’t.

  • 3

    Forecastable Intake & Budget Control

    Cohort-based pacing and rolling 4-week forecasts tie spend to application and start-date timelines. You get visibility into expected leads and the budget needed to hit target headcount.

  • 4

    Higher Lead Quality via CRM Signals

    Offline conversions from HubSpot/Salesforce feed bidding with what matters – application started, interview booked, enrolled. Spend shifts from “any lead” to leads that progress.

  • 5

    Brand Protection in Competitive SERPs

    Branded campaigns use query-level monitoring, sitelinks, and ad extensions to defend your name against competitors. We cap CPCs and isolate brand terms so category testing doesn’t inflate costs.

  • 6

    Decision-Ready Reporting

    Dashboards map PPC to the enrollment funnel: impression → click → lead → qualified → enrolled. Clear thresholds and alerts surface issues early, so marketing and admissions can act quickly.

Challenges We Commonly Solve

Most PPC issues trace back to unclear intake goals, loose controls, or gaps between ad platforms and your CRM. Here are the common blockers – and how we break them down.

Rising CPL from Broad Match & PMax Cannibalization

Budgets drift into low-intent queries or auto-generated assets. We ring-fence brand, cap PMax with page feeds and negatives, and use query-level audits to reallocate spend to proven terms.

Plenty of Leads, Low Admissions Quality

Form fills spike but few progress. We import offline stages (application started, interview booked, enrolled) and weight bidding to those signals, cutting sources that don’t advance in the funnel.

Attribution Gaps Between Ads and CRM

Clicks look fine; enrollments don’t tie back. We pass GCLID/ MSCLKID, fix UTMs, and de-dupe leads so GA4, HubSpot/Salesforce, and Looker Studio tell the same story.

Policy Disapprovals and Age/Location Misfires

Education ad policies are strict. We build compliant copy, apply age gates where needed, and tighten geo/ZIP targeting to stop wasted impressions and keep campaigns online.

Seasonality, Cohort Pacing, and Empty Seats

Spend peaks at the wrong time or runs past start dates. We pace by cohort, forecast 4 weeks out, and shift dollars quickly when qualified rates change.

Landing Pages That Don’t Convert

Great ads, slow pages or long forms. We match search intent to page content, reduce friction, and test form length, tuition info placement, and FAQs. Call tracking highlights real drop-offs.

Why Choose WiserBrand

We act like an extension of your admissions and marketing team, aligning paid media to enrollment targets and reporting that decisions are built on.

    Senior Specialists on the Account

    Your campaigns aren’t handed off to juniors. A lead strategist sets the plan, runs weekly test-and-learn cycles, and reviews forecasts with you so budget changes are tied to intake goals and start dates.

  • 2

    CRM-Connected Bidding & Reporting

    We connect GA4 with HubSpot or Salesforce, import offline stages (application started, interview booked, enrolled), and bid to the signals that indicate real progress – not just form fills. Dashboards mirror your funnel, so finance and operations see the same numbers.

  • 3

    Program-Ready Playbooks

    Launching a new program or cohort gets a proven framework: limited geos, clear success thresholds, controlled creative tests, and cohort pacing. We scale only when lead quality and cost per inquiry meet targets, which is crucial for education providers managing seats and schedules.

Cooperation Models

Pick the engagement that matches your team capacity and enrollment timelines.

Fully Managed PPC Operations

We run the day-to-day: strategy, builds, keyword governance, PMax controls, landing page tests, and weekly pacing by cohort. You get an experiment plan every week, a rolling 4-week forecast tied to start dates, and clear guardrails for CPL and qualified rate. Ideal if you want one accountable owner across ads, CRO, and reporting.

Pilot → Scale (6–8 Weeks)

A focused trial for one to two programs. We limit geos, define success thresholds (CPL, qualified rate, interview/booked), and test a small set of messages and pages. At the end, you get a scale plan (budgets, geos, assets) or a pivot recommendation backed by query, creative, and CRM stage data. Purpose-built for new programs or underperforming intakes.

Audit & Advisory for In-House Teams

For teams buying media internally. We deliver a full account and measurement audit, fix tagging and offline imports, and provide a 90-day optimization roadmap. Monthly working sessions keep the plan moving – covering query cleanup, bid strategy choices, landing fixes, and dashboard alignment to applications and enrollments.

Our Approach

We run PPC as an operating cadence tied to enrollment milestones – set the targets, launch with controls, learn fast, and scale only what proves out.

01

Goals, Measurement & Data Plumbing

Agree on intake targets by program and start date, then wire up GA4 events, UTM rules, call tracking, and offline conversion imports from HubSpot/Salesforce (application started, interview booked, enrolled). Define north-star metrics – cost per qualified inquiry and qualified-to-enrolled rate – and mirror them in a shared dashboard.

02

Architecture & Launch Plan

Build accounts by intent (brand, category, competitor, program) with shared negatives and query governance. Set up Performance Max with page feeds and brand exclusions, segment geos by campus/region, and publish a two-week pilot plan with clear success thresholds and caps.

03

Creative & Landing Execution

Ship responsive search ads, extensions, and YouTube/META variants that match prospect questions – tuition, start dates, outcomes. Pair them with focused landing pages: tight message match, fast load, short forms, and prominent FAQs. Add tracking numbers and form-level events so every inquiry is traceable.

04

Bidding, Budgeting & Pacing

Choose bid strategies by funnel stage (e.g., tCPA on high-intent, value-rules where CRM stages exist). Pace budgets by cohort, apply device/daypart and geo adjustments, and move spend quickly when early signals (qualified rate, interview booked) shift.

05

Optimize, Forecast & Scale

Run weekly experiments across queries, ads, and pages; cut waste, expand winners, and document learnings. Refresh a rolling 4-week forecast tied to start dates, then scale programs that repeatedly hit cost and quality thresholds while keeping a guardrail on brand CPCs.

Education PPC Services FAQ

How fast can we see impact?

Early signals (qualified inquiry rate, CPL) show up in the first 2–4 weeks. We align pacing to cohort or start dates so spend maps to real enrollment windows.

What budget do we need per program?

Most programs start effectively at $5k–$20k/month. For a pilot, $3k–$7k over 6–8 weeks is enough to validate queries, creatives, and landing pages before scaling.

Can you connect ads to our CRM?

Yes. We pass GCLID/MSCLKID, set up GA4 events, and import offline stages from HubSpot or Salesforce (application started, interview booked, enrolled) so bidding and reports reflect progress – not just form fills.

Do you use Performance Max for lead gen?

We do, with guardrails: page feeds, brand exclusions, capped budgets, and query insights reviews to prevent cannibalization of high-intent search.

How do you keep lead quality high for education programs?

Tight negative governance, audience layering, landing page testing, and CRM-stage bidding. We shift spend toward sources that consistently progress to interviews and enrollments.
