Digital Marketing for Student Search

A powerful combination of our advanced segmentation and our leading digital marketing, Darts to Digital extends your personalization into your digital marketing campaigns to help you connect with students where they are, with messaging that speaks directly to who they are. You’ll deliver the most relevant and precise digital marketing campaigns for Student Search—an innovation only Carnegie can offer.

Our Retargeting services consistently place your school’s brand in front of prospective students after their first visit to key pages of your website. When done right, retargeting helps drive conversions throughout the enrollment journey, nurturing a relationship of familiarity between you and your prospective students. Retargeting is the conversion-driving tactic for Student Search to move students to apply, register for a visit, or inquire.

Put your institution’s name in front of new prospects consistently. Display Outreach campaigns broadcast your message according to your goals, targeting students, parents, and stakeholders with the potential to connect with your brand. In your Student Search campaigns, Display plays the important role of keeping you top-of-mind and provides the repetition that causes brand stickiness. 

Leverage content, technical SEO, Google My Business, social media, and website design to capture attention and provide answers through every phase of the enrollment process. For your Student Search, leveraging SEO means visibility when a student is conducting college research, a path to finding them after exposure to your Display or email campaigns, and reason to come back to your site time and time again.

Your website is a big part of the Student Search, so why not ensure it’s optimized to provide a personalized, conversion-driving experience? Start tracking prospective students beginning with the first touchpoint. From paid campaigns to organic search, profile students as they journey from anonymous to known user, keeping track of their campaign interactions, website behaviors, areas of interest, and more. Solve the mystery of stealth applicants, uncover lost marketing attribution, and personalize the website experience for your prospective students.
