If your paid ads aren't performing like they used to, you might be facing one of these three common issues:

1. High CPC
Rising costs often mean your targeting and creative have gone stale. Refresh both more frequently to keep your ads relevant (and your costs down). This could be as simple as exporting a fresh leads list from your CRM to use as a look-alike audience, evaluating top-performing locations and removing those with no engagement, switching up your CTA (call-to-action) text and/or color, or swapping out images.

2. Attribution gaps
If you can't trust your data, you can't trust your decisions. Clean, accurate attribution is the foundation of every smart ad spend decision. Tracking engagement, from ad click to page visit, and from form submission to email engagement, can help paint a more complete picture of what’s causing a lift (or lag) in performance.

3. Conversion rate volatility
Inconsistent results may point to unproven funnel assets. This is where A/B tests come in handy. From ad copy and headlines to landing pages and CTAs, running an A/B test can help you see what's actually working. You might even get a few new ideas to run with.

The fix isn't always more budget and increased ad spend. It's often a stronger strategy behind the budget you already have.

Prospective students are asking ChatGPT and Perplexity about your programs before they ever hit your website. Here are 3 AI search facts colleges need to know:

1. AI cites structure, not just content.
Pages with key takeaways at the top (think: TL;DR), bylines with author bios, and comparison data get pulled into AI answers far more often than generic blog posts without this structure.

2. Student success stories are more important than ever.
We’re seeing a shift from “How-to” content, to content where you're the primary source, not just another voice summarizing what everyone else has said. Unique content you own, like original research and case studies, is much more likely to get you into AI recommendations.

3. Your website isn't the only thing AI is reading.
AI pulls from the third-party sources it trusts in your category. Which sources those are depends entirely on your industry. For higher ed, Wikipedia, Youtube, Forbes and Reddit are common sources.

💡 Bonus: If this feels like a lot, think of this in phases:
Phase 1 → Fix the foundation
Phase 2 → Close your content and citation gaps
Phase 3 → Expand and monitor

AI visibility is becoming the new front door to your admissions funnel.

That's not a stat to ignore, even if Instagram isn't your primary channel. ➡️ Prospective students and customers are using it to research, compare options, and vet credibility; often before they ever visit a website.

The takeaway?

Keep your profile current, your highlights relevant, and your captions searchable. You don't need to post daily to stay visible. You just need to be strategic in what you *do* post so you show up when someone's looking.

Could you swap your program's name for a competitor's in your paid ads, and the message would still make total sense?

If “flexible schedule”, “100% online”, and “top-ranked program” are the new standard, then they aren’t as unique as you’d like them to be.

That doesn’t mean students don’t want to check those off on their list of criteria, but it does mean those are no longer the only decision points that will help them choose YOU.

Things to think about:
• Do you have clear, specific student testimonials you could use in your ads?
• What are common phrases students and alumni have used when describing their experience in your programs?
• Is your program the first of its kind, or one of a very few?
• How do your instructors make the 100% online courses personal and unique?
• For students on campus, what is special about your location?
• What exciting outcomes have alumni accomplished because of their time in your program?

Curious where your program's messaging actually stands?

Rankings. Traffic. CTR. These are still worth tracking — but they're no longer the whole story.

With AI Overviews and LLMs changing how people find and choose brands, the metrics that matter most have shifted.

Influence and business metrics like AI citations, share of voice, and conversion quality give you a much clearer picture of what's actually working.

Are you measuring the right things?

Our AI Visibility audit will help you understand how you show up (or don’t) compared to your competitors, and what actions to prioritize most for the best impact.

Our Marketing Roadmap will help you identify where your lead funnel is leaking and give you a clear strategy, so you stop missing out on opportunities and start meeting your goals.

💡 Tip: Not all cookie consent plugins are built the same. Some have made compliance claims that didn't hold up. The good news: 👇

We've done the digging and testing so you don't have to. After researching and testing several options out there, our two go-to recommendations for our clients with WordPress websites are WPConsent and CookieYes. These are both solid, reliable choices we trust enough to use on our own site and recommend to clients.

Here a few more tips to keep in mind:
➡️ CCPA isn't just a California-business law. If you have visitors from California and meet certain thresholds, it can apply to you no matter where you're based.
➡️ Free plugin tiers often have pageview or feature limits your site can quietly outgrow.
➡️ Consent tools aren't "set it and forget it". New scripts, pixels, and chat widgets get added to sites all the time, and your cookie list needs to keep up.

Do you know if your website is compliant?
We're not a legal firm, so we can't give legal advice, but if you're not sure where your site stands, it's worth a second look. We’re happy to help.

We’ve noticed a few patterns now that we’ve been in the higher ed enrollment marketing space for a while now:

→ The vast majority of ads use the same generic CTA
→ Few ads include any social proof at all
→ Almost none mention cost, financial aid, or tuition incentives

Why do these matter?
→ Offering prospects little clarity on what happens when they click lowers your chances that they will
→ Reputation and career outcomes are the top reasons people enroll
→ Affordability is one of the biggest objections keeping prospects from making a decision

This isn't a creative problem. Nicer photos and snappier headlines will help, but they won't fix it.

It's a positioning problem. When every program claims to be flexible, online, and top-ranked without ever defining what that means, prospects can't tell you apart.

The programs winning right now have done the work to know exactly what makes them different, and say it plainly, backed by real numbers.

That's strategy work, not ad-buying work. And it's where we start with every enrollment marketing client.
