• Encourage genuine reviews from students and parents.

3. Use Targeted Social Media Ads

From Instagram to YouTube, your audience is already there.

Run ads based on:

• Age (13–25 for colleges, 28–45 for schools)
• Location
• Interests (Engineering, NEET, arts, etc.)

Video testimonials, campus tours, and result highlights work best. Don’t forget remarketing ads!
